My fitness journey didn’t start in the gym; it started with heartbreak. A mix of love, heartbreak, and the intense feeling of not being “enough”. This was someone I loved someone I thought I wanted to be with. But they chose someone else, someone who looked better than me and that’s all I could see back then. I felt this intense pain, this feeling of rejection that burned deep. This pushed me to push beyond my limits and from that pain, a fire lit inside me—one that’s still burning to this day. I wanted to prove to myself that I could be better, stronger, and that I’d never feel that way again.
The gym became my proving ground, a place to build more than just muscle. It became a place where I rebuilt my self-worth and changed the standard for my family. I wanted to break through limitations, not just for me, but to show what’s possible for the people closest to me. That fire still drives me, and now, I’m using it to help others start their own journeys.
