Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Naledi Sesinyi. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Naledi thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

March 2020 when the whole world shut down, my real world began. I had to dig deeper and find the version of who I am meant to be in this life in every single layer of my existence. So I can’t express how much meaning this article being written in December 2022 means. It is not just about me anymore. It is about why I am even taking up space – to contribute with my life every resource inside of me with those I am meant to serve and those whom chose to love me personally. Without Quarantine 2020 – I could have missed the privilege of extreme sadness that refines and eventually brings deeper satisfaction and joy after perseverance. Which is an ongoing journey by the way – I am not sure if I am just slow, but I don’t think we ever really arrive at perfection of what we are fully capable of being professionally or personally. But doggone it – March 2020 started the gumption and daring to steady keep trying in every way, every day. But also learning to scale it back and have personal boundaries, staying ‘ON’ requires regular times to disconnect, re-charge and power down regularly at home or around loved ones, not always trying to escape to an exotic island every time.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I started out as a College Cheerleader. And I never thought about being an NBA Cheerleader. However, while I was packing gift bags for some college fundraiser, my co-college cheerleader asked me if I was gonna try out for the “LuvaBulls”. And being that I never heard of them I asked a few questions and didn’t really pay it any much mind. Without asking, she came to college cheer practice and brought me a printed application and the return envelope complete with a return stamp for me and for her. Well let us just say the rest is history. Four season years later and made Captain, I had the privilege of earning and holding a position on the Chicago Bulls LuvaBulls.

My background in cheerleading especially in the professional NBA level has given me a lifetime backbone. Some may say well why? The biggest comment people fire off is you guys didn’t get paid – so what is the big deal? I used to think I had to justify this for a couple of years after I retired. And then I realized especially since March 2020 – I do not have to justify why I choose to have a certain body goal as a woman, or why I made a professional decision to be an NBA Cheerleader. Being an NBA Cheerleader is all about positivity, timing, endurance, perseverance, and commitment. The extreme planning, team and individual dedication and relentless drive to compete and help your competitor as a team mate is not always what the public sees or understands the value of it all. In short – Cheerleading Is Life:) (and maybe to some that may be football and that is also okay:))

Fast forward – I now mainly work in two service areas – online for internal health accountability and in-person medical grade body composition assessments. The same rules for Cheerleading almost apply to anything I do now as a health professional. Because it is still about what we will always need as adults in pursuit of any physical transformation – mindset, timing, perseverance and commitment. In essence, I may improve the quality of a healthier life inside-out for everyday super-heroes that have marriages and families to support plus communities to contribute to every single day. I simply start with if you are currently taking a high quality multi-vitamin or collagen supplement or any type of supplements at all? Or have you had a 3D scan body assessment done before? I work hybrid remotely and in-person but even if you are not in Chicago – I find local partners to support you in person wherever you call home for now.

With all that taken into consideration- health is an inside out work in progress and a lifetime process. Because it’s always about whose in your corner when the bell goes for a time out. I understand how delicate transformation is because you are living inside a body and mind with the version of you now and the one you are working to become. And the version of who you are becoming, comes in stages and in “it’s” own timing based on so many external and internal forces within and outside your control. Health and body transformation is really not easy and I think what I have come to realize is – everyone wants the goal. However, most people want to avoid the sadness, unhappiness of the messy middle of what it takes to get to the goal. I am not saying sit in a slump of self-pity. I am saying sadness and unhappiness are servants and communicators – not meant to be a definition or an identity or a static state of being. Oh but the JOY of winning your life back and feeling strong and in-control of your body and life after holding on to the grit till goal…is priceless and timeless and you never forget what you earned.

I offer complete and successful online weight loss and wellness supplements and detailed nutrition accountability programs for men and women. You just need to select the range of commitment you need of yourself. I can email you options on how we can get started. And then – it is really you and me but mainly you till – GAME ON, till …”Vincere”.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Communicating with each person like they were the only human being in the whole world, every single time. I always remind myself, it is about whom I am meant to serve and when it is their perfect timing to allow me to journey with them. When you try to force timing – it never feels right or authentic. When someone is really ready for whatever destination they want to arrive at, and they chose me as a co-partner, it just works and flows. It is still hard, but it just works better when we chose each other and it brings the best blossoming results possible for the client.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

I have gained mass-weight intentionally and completed significant weightloss three times in my career. Both are hard, both require intent and responsibility. Both spectrums taught me life long lessons you can’t learn any other way other than going through it. That’s why admiration for customers on a health journey shared never gets old for me, it’s never “hum-drum” here we go again. Instead, it’s an adventure to see who you become on the other side of your intentions and actions accounted for when we partner in health.
