What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

I work out because becoming a mom didn’t make me disappear—it made me stronger. Staying fit is how I protect my mental health, rebuild my confidence, and show up as the best version of myself every day. It’s my passion because I want my daughter to grow up watching her mom choose strength, discipline, and self-love, knowing that taking care of your body isn’t selfish—it’s powerful.

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

My favorite way to train is lifting weights it makes me feel strong and confident.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to get a new apartment for me and my daughter. She deserves the world.
