Her passion for helping women feel their best and overcome their limiting beliefs is a central focus of this conversation and her work. She believes in your ability to shine.

BOLD POINTS:

It’s never too late, and you are not too old. You can feel wonderful in your body, and know this—you *can* dramatically change your body.

Remember that small steps add up to massive change. Set intentions and goals with shorter timeframes. If you’re just beginning, tell yourself that you’re worth it.

Never ever give up. You’ve got grit. Fitness is for everyone.

Find gems in the hard times. Find hope and create a vision for yourself that can help pull you forward.

All of us are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for.

Find your determination within. Wake up and say to yourself, “enough is enough.”

Find sparks of joy throughout the day.

Get good sleep, good nutrition, do strength training and check your mindset for transformation wins.

Replace your limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs.

Develop a growth mindset. Ask yourself, “How can I learn? How can I grow? What *can* I do?”

Surround yourself with a supportive, positive community.

Get on a plan of radical self-care. It’s time for you to shine and live your life to the fullest. You are worth it.
