A conversation with Roma, a content creator, cyclist, and triathlete who’s built her whole last year around saying yes to new challenges and documenting the process as she goes :)!

Roma grew up as a competitive rhythmic gymnast, then found endurance sports later through a simple entry point a road bike in Seattle that turned into longer rides, brick workouts, and eventually a full send into triathlon training. She shares what it looked like to build her first real routine without a coach, fall in love with the structure of training, and find community through run clubs, track nights, and cycling groups.

We also talk about how content creation became part of the journey. From early TikTok posts she didn’t want her friends to see, to a sudden stretch of momentum in spring 2025 where videos started popping off, brands started reaching out, and she decided to commit to creating full time. Roma breaks down how she thinks about making videos that still feel like her, while also understanding what performs online.

On the racing side, we talk about her first ever triathlon and what surprised her about race day. From there, the convo shifts into bucket list thinking, why she likes year long “projects,” what she’s excited about next, and how she’s balancing training with travel, hiking, and trying new sports like gravel and trail running.

We wrap with a few favorite moments from the year's Tour de France week, a huge mountain ride, and plenty of “how is this real life?” energy plus a book rec that reshaped how she thinks about success, and her biggest takeaway: say yes and figure it out from there.
