In this episode of Beauty Behind the Eyes, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing more of my story. From where I grew up and my school years to the start of my fitness journey, I talk about the experiences that shaped me into the woman I am today.

I also open up about the toxic relationships and difficult seasons that tested me, broke me down, and ultimately pushed me to heal and rebuild my confidence. These tests weren’t easy, but they were necessary — because they led me to a deeper love for myself and a stronger faith in God’s plan for my life.

This is more than just an introduction. It’s a reminder that even through heartbreak, challenges, and setbacks, there’s always growth on the other side. You’ll also walk away with practical tips to help you strengthen your own self-love, no matter where you are in your journey.

It took me over five years to hit record—because fear, perfectionism, and “what will people think?” had me stuck. In this first episode of Beauty Behind the Eyes, I’m introducing who I am, why this show exists, and what I want us to build together. I share the moments that shaped me, the setbacks that almost stopped me, and the shift that finally pushed me to start. If you’ve ever sat on a dream because you were scared, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• My “why” for starting the podcast
• How fear and overthinking held me back
• The mindset switch that helped me press publish
• What to expect from future episodes (fitness, discipline, confidence, purpose, real life)
