In my 20s, I was insecure, cared what others thought of me and wanted to look to ‘others’ for approval... In my 30s, I spent years having a bad relationship with food and body dysmorphia. Despite winning fitness competitions, I was miserable on the inside from the calorie restriction, which led to binge eating, depression and isolating myself from social activities.
But when I finally leveled up to return to my lean, strong, confident self, I was hit with another challenge: The perimenopause season got me. How I was eating and training wasn’t working for me - I started to freak out, thinking I was slowly aging...
But this was the “aha” moment I needed to regain control of my life and not give up on myself.
After 40, I became obsessed with learning about female metabolism and hormones and how vital muscle is to keep living. STRONG & SEXY for the rest of my life. Muscle is anti-aging.
And that is why I am on a mission to impact women 40+ (yes, it starts in mid-30s) to look and feel better than they did in their 20s.
