My passion is fueled by resilience. I've been an athlete since childhood, but navigating perimenopause showed me how powerful movement truly is. Strength training gave me my confidence, energy, and identity back after childbirth. Now I'm driven to help women reclaim their strength, advocate for their health, and step boldly into their next chapter.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?Heavy lifting is my foundation. Strength training has transformed my body and mindset during perimenopause. I also love purposeful movement - mobility, functional training, running - because it builds resilience for life. Training isn't about shrinking; it's about getting stronger, capable, and confident at every stage of life.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest it into expanding education and programming for women in perimenopause and post-menopause. This includes retreats, accessible strength training programs, and evidence-based resources that empower women to understand their bodies, lift heavy without fear, and thrive physically and mentally midlife and beyond. Any extra would go toward a family trip!
