Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My kids and my future. I want to be able to make amazing memories, travel the world and enjoy life with my kids and one day their kids. I want to be an active participant in my own life. I love knowing that I have control of my future through health and fitness. I have struggled with my diet, at one time I was 75 lbs over weight. Not prioritizing my own health and fitness and then mental health issues through my marriage and then my divorce.

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

I love strength training, I work out 6 days a week. I love the feeling that weights give me knowing I can grow old and look good but more importantly i can take care of myself. I love yoga and this year I want to start Pilates. I love the outdoors, I have an e-bike that I use all spring, summer and fall. Exploring trails in my community and finding new places to visit on my bike I wouldn’t otherwise notice driving . I love learning new strength techniques and exercises. I am forever learning

What would you do with $20,000?

I want to start a health and fitness coaching business. I want to take everything I have leaned and been through in my own experiences while I continue to learn and provide a service to women who are going through life just like me. Who are lost, struggling and don’t know where to begin, where to go from here or how to start. I want to educate and support women going through life altering experiences with information, valid resources of help and guidance.
