Finding a Healthy Balance with Danielle Rae Diede
A certified trainer and fitness enthusiast, Danielle is passionate about helping others feel good about themselves by creating a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle.
Growing up feeling incredibly insecure, Danielle became obsessed with fitness at an early age. Wanting to fit in, she felt that people would only appreciate or like her if she looked a certain way so she tried to maintain a ridiculously small, petite body, which proved difficult and became very unhealthy for her.
When she realized she couldn’t keep up, Danielle fell off the bandwagon and quit working out. She began to binge on every food and gained a bunch of weight, which eventually made her slip into a depression.
Then after a series of serious events and illnesses in her family, Danielle knew it was time to pursue her dreams.
She pulled herself out of her depression and moved forward with competing in the NPC Bikini category. For the next four years, Danielle worked on training hard and dieting strictly to accomplish her goal.
Once ready, she competed in several shows and, during her last show, placed in the top 3 in 2 groups, leaving her feeling accomplished.
However, once the shows were over and the excitement died down, Danielle still felt lost. Unsure where she wanted to go from there, Danielle began to worry that all of her old habits would come back.
As competition taught her discipline, challenged her, and allowed her to work with some amazing people, she knew it was not a realistic way to live her life.
That is when God answered her prayers. Danielle became pregnant with a son and found a way to incorporate exercise into her life while still being able to spend time and be there for her family.
Now the mother of two and owner of Danielle Rae Fitness, Danielle has found the perfect balance of being in great shape without spending hours in the gym or meal prepping.
She doesn’t stress about what she eats, nor worries about being perfect anymore. Instead, she has taken what she learned from her own struggles and created positive and effective fitness and health programs that she can share with others to help them feel good about themselves while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Listen in as Danielle and I discuss her struggles with self-esteem, body image, the trials she faced, and how she overcame them to find her path to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
