“She’s just a chubby girl who wants to get out of gym class.”
I overheard a coach say that about me in high school, loud enough that I knew he wanted me to hear it. For years I carried that sentence like proof I would never measure up
After college I tried every cardio kick and home workout, but nothing stuck. I fell off again and again, and started wondering if that coach was right
Then came another blow. My boyfriend at the time told me “I can’t work out with you because you can’t keep up with me.” Hearing that from someone I loved made me question if I was even capable of getting back in shape
A few months before I finally left that relationship I met a trainer who changed everything. She taught me real form, how to build strength, how to recover, how to fuel my body, and how to enjoy the process
It took lots of time and dedication but I eventually lost almost 100 pounds, rebuilt strength and put muscle on my frame. More than that I rebuilt belief in myself
I went from the chubby girl who wanted to get out of gym class to strong, capable, and confident
Today I’m a personal trainer and nothing feels better than helping someone else find their strength the way that someone had done for me. Whether that’s bettering form and mobility, finding a plan that finally shows results, or just the confidence to walk into the gym and own it
I’m taking 1:1 clients online and in person. DM me or hit the link in my bio!
Let’s build your plan and your confidence together 💪🏽✨
Starting with my newest photo, going all the way back to when I first wanted to make a change. It still feels a little disembodying because body dysmorphia makes me forget I’m not that girl anymore, but I appreciate the effort she put in to get me to where I am now
Each photo is in order, showing the real ups and downs along the way. The last year is when I finally locked in, stayed consistent, and turned what used to be pushing through pain into real self-care and respect for my body

Progress isn’t always linear, but showing up is everything
might act my age this year y’all, stay tuned❣️

the birthday blues hit extra hard this year to the point that I was worried it would ruin my day. social media tricks us into thinking everyone leads perfect lives when in reality even some of the best days have their dark moments. thankfully I have so many amazing people in my life who chose to bring light to my day. some did so without even realizing how much I needed it, I am forever grateful for all the love I was shown. may this next year bring many more blessings
29 feels different
Less proving
Less chasing
Less forcing
More peace
More intention
More me
🫶🏽
This past year came with painful lessons, unexpected endings, lost connections, and moments that completely changed the way I see life. In some ways, I’m grateful for it because every hard moment carved out space for something better
I’m walking into the last year of my 20s lighter, wiser, happier, and more true to myself
I really think 29 might end up being the best chapter yet✨
FORBIDDEN KINGDOM👾✨
