Picture yourself living what seems like a regular life as a parent and entrepreneur, where everything seems uneventful and you have every reason to expect the rest of your life to follow a pretty straightforward path. You know, everything’s FINE.

Then, one day you go to pick up your kids from school and all of a sudden you’re seeing double.

Next thing you know, your life has been turned completely upside-down, your legs are numb and you’re sitting in a wheelchair.

In what version of reality could you picture yourself becoming an Olympic weightlifter just five years later?

This is Kim Rahir’s story of how Fine is a 4-Letter Word.

Fortunately, she was raised with two values that would support her through her unexpected midlife journey – always be ready to show up and perform, and conscientiously show respect for people and take them as you find them.

Along with these values, she became a person who did not wallow in self-pity or claim victimhood status. There was no asking “why me?” when faced with adversity.

When she first started seeing double that day when she was 45 and picking her kids up from school, her doctor suggested she might be experiencing a cerebral hemorrhage and urged her to hail the next taxi to the hospital. After a long series of tests combined with the onset of additional health issues, it eventually became apparent she had Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Now wait – five years later she was at the gym training to become an Olympic-level weightlifter?

As you’re about to discover, her doctor discouraged her from doing it in a way that indicated he didn’t want to be involved. She was told to take all sorts of injections that made her feel worse, and ultimately traded them in for some ibuprofen. All of it made her feel disrespected, and she had to find a way to reclaim her power.

This isn’t the outcome you’d imagine for someone who has Multiple Sclerosis - nor would you picture her becoming a fitness coach helping women feel fabulous doing 15 minutes of work each day.

In a moment, when you meet Kim, you’ll be awestruck by her comeback story.

Kim’s hype song is “Far From Over” by Frank Stallone.
