Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My passion for health and fitness was born from motherhood and loss. After having my daughter, I weighed 210 pounds and knew I had to change—not just for myself, but to be the healthiest, strongest mother she deserves. Fitness later became my anchor through grief, helping me survive the loss of my son and my daughter’s grandmother. Training saved me—and continues to shape me.

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

My favorite way to train is blending movement, strength, and play. I love going on runs, bike rides, and turning motherhood into a workout—lifting my three-year-old, throwing her on my back, and squatting her for fun. I balance that with full-body circuits at home, heavy weightlifting in the gym, daily stretching, and wall handstands every night before bed to stay strong, mobile, and grounded.

What would you do with $20,000?

As an insurance specialist who works closely with school districts and students with autism, I see firsthand how critical early planning can be. I would invest the $20,000 into an index universal life policy for my three-year-old to secure lifelong insurability and begin building long-term wealth, giving her protection, options, and financial security for whatever her future holds.
