Receive Text UpdatesIn my early 20s, I struggled with depression and low self-confidence. Fitness became my turning point. Through movement, I grew stronger physically and mentally. It transformed my life and became part of who I am. I’m passionate about helping other women discover that same strength and resilience.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?Daily walking is my non-negotiable — usually 8–12k steps to stay active and energized. I strength train three times a week with full-body workouts focused on progressive overload to build muscle, longevity, and confidence. I also add an extra shoulder-focused day to bring balance and definition to my physique.
What would you do with $20,000?I’d prioritize financial security by paying down debt and investing in my future — and of course, celebrate with a fresh pair of runners to keep moving forward.
