What fuels my passion for health and fitness is knowing it’s about so much more than appearance—it’s about healing, mental strength, and self-respect. Movement helps me process life, manage stress, and stay grounded through challenges. Choosing health is my way of choosing myself every day, and that passion grows when I can inspire others to see fitness as a tool for confidence, resilience, and long-term well-being, not just a number on a scale.

My favorite way to train and stay fit is a mix of strength, cardio, and yoga. I love lifting and functional training to build power, adding cardio to keep my energy up, and then flowing into yoga to stretch, center, and reconnect with my body. Yoga is my reset—it improves my flexibility, balance, and mental clarity, and it keeps me grounded so every workout feels intentional, not just physical. It’s the perfect balance of strength and mindfulness.

I would use this to help pay for my in-laws bills. They are struggling and not doing well health wise with their age and my mother-in-law has a inherited disease and had a double lung transplant just over 5 years ago and they’re starting to give out and she needs an oxygen tank and so on.
