For decades, I lived in a body I didn’t trust. Chronic pain shaped how I moved, and what I believed was possible. Somewhere along the way, I was taught that getting older meant getting weaker, quieter, more limited. I decided not to accept that story. By choosing daily movement that honored my body instead of fighting it, everything began to change. Strength didn’t just return — confidence did. Clarity did. Joy did.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?Daily horses, and AIRbarfit-which is an active internal resistance practice created for the female body. Through simple, grounded, intentional movements, it reconnects strength, focus, and confidence — often in just minutes. It doesn’t just change how I move… it changes how I think and feel in my body.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, I would give scholarships to women who feel stuck, help the only women’s gym on my island grow, and support kids through better horse programs — because strength should be shared, not hidden. This isn’t about a cover. It’s about showing women what’s possible — and inviting them to believe it for themselves.
