What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

my passion for fitness is driven by purpose, resilience, and the refusal to let age define my limits. As a mother of five, my body has changed, my weight has fluctuated, and I’ve rebuilt myself time and again. Through a vegan lifestyle, daily yoga, and strength training five days a week, I have proven that aging does not weaken us—it reveals our strength. My mission is to empower others to choose vitality, confidence, and lifelong fitness at any age.

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

My favorite training routine is built on consistency and balance. I practice yoga daily for 30 minutes to maintain mobility, strength, and mindfulness. I stay active with walking, biking, and hiking to support cardiovascular health and overall endurance. Five days a week, I strength train, focusing on two body parts per session, completing three sets of 12 reps. This routine keeps me strong, energized, and moving with purpose while supporting longevity and functional fitness.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would invest in what truly matters—growth, health, and giving back. I would travel to Bali to become yoga certified, deepening a practice that has shaped my life and allows me to inspire others. I would pour into my family and myself by supporting healthy, sustainable lifestyle choices that create long-term well-being. And I would give a portion to our local food shelf, because everyone deserves access to nourishing food and the opportunity to thrive.
