Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

At 43 I started strength training & it didn’t just change my body, it changed my life. As an actress I went from being written as a granny to cougar! But most important I stopped needing outside validation. I built my own self worth one workout at a time. That empowerment carried me thru everything including opening my own gym and besting cancer. Now I’m on a mission: every woman deserves the confidence that comes when you become your own evidence. 75k followers in 6 months proves it’s wanted.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

Although I use lots of equipment at my gym, kettlebells are my favorite. That was the original tool that changed my body & life. I also love that they are a time saver for busy women. Done properly you’ll get a full body workout with both strength training and cardio. And it still is a favorite for another reason. I am someone who could never stick with any workout before I picked up a kettlebell. I found this simple tool strangely gratifying and still use it today, almost 20 years later.

What would you do with $20,000?

When Covid shut gym’s down, we didn’t quit. We moved online, trained outdoors -even thru winter-kept showing up for the community that needed us-even as rent and expenses piled up. We took on debt to keep serving. This prize would clear that burden and free me to scale what’s working: my online transformation programs, my retreat and the book I am writing to reach even more women to prove it’s not over. The 20k will enable me to take what saved me to the women who need it most.
