“Pink Diamonds”/ Favorite Quotes:
“I want all women to be able to feel good in their own skin as well as being pushed through the athletic aspect.”
“The bikini portion of training doesn't even begin with my clients until they get closer to being on stage...now you’re beautiful, you’ve developed emotionally, internally, the whole 9 yards. Now let’s put the bikini on, get pampered, and go on stage.”
“Now my kids are asking me questions...and because I was able to take care of myself as a mom, I’m able to give back to them.”
“When you are looking at yourself, tell yourself that you are worth it.”
“My advice to anyone fighting depression is to take it day by day. Set a goal. But first and foremost you have got to start loving yourself. And that goes with self care. When you start to appreciate who you are the world starts to accept that as the standard of your life and start loving you back on that level.”
“Constantly define yourself from the inside out, and not just what you see on the scale.”
“When there is an adversity that comes at me, or a mountain or hill, when I see it I say ‘ok, why is this here? And when you have that adversity it will obviously affect you emotionally and internally right? So you deal with it and then find the positivity that can come out of it. You have placed adversity that is here for me, and I’m going to take the opportunity to grow from it. Thank you.”
“Femininity in fitness means empowerment to be you.”
“Femininity means to be beautiful. To be strong but beautiful at the same time. To be loving, to be bold, daring, all in one! A lot of men are said to be very strong, determined, strong armed, and women can have the same attributes but instead deliver them in a very loving way.
