My passion for health & fitness is fueled by my mental health. After a lifelong struggle with weight and mental wellness, I learned that healing the mind and body go hand in hand. Consistent movement, motivation & quality foods changed my trajectory, putting me on a path to clarity, confidence, and a life I once thought was impossible.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?My favorite way to stay fit is weight training. I’ve tried everything from D1 running to cycling, lifting, & yoga while navigating my fitness journey. What I’ve learned is that lasting fitness comes from finding movement you enjoy, so it doesn’t feel like work. When you enjoy it, consistency follows and that’s where real change happens.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest in tools that support a sustainable, balanced lifestyle. After losing 70 pounds, I’ve learned that consistency matters more than perfection; especially with an intense work schedule. I’d build a functional home workout space and update my wardrobe to reflect the woman I’ve become, showing that prioritizing health and self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.
