A Retired Female Athlete Building New Confidence

The video summary of my journey <3

For most of my life, I measured success through discipline, perfection, and pushing myself to the limit.

I was a high school athlete.

Then a college bodybuilder — chasing the ideal physique.

Eventually, I turned to powerlifting, tired of being judged for how my body looked.

Then came CrossFit, which started as something fun… until I got pulled into the pressure of competing again.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was constantly trying to earn love, respect, and confidence through performance and control.

Until I got injured — and everything stopped.

That pause gave me space to ask myself: What would it feel like to move my body because I love it, not because I need to fix it?

I took two years off from the gym and started exploring movement in a way I never had before.

I picked up a hula hoop.

I danced in my living room.

I rolled out my yoga mat.

I stretched just because it felt good.I laughed.

I rested.

I let myself be seen in new ways.

And slowly, I began to heal the relationship I had with my body.

No more rigid rules.

No more chasing confidence by shrinking myself.

Just curiosity, connection, and care.

Eventually, I brought back some elements of the fitness world I once loved — but only the ones that felt aligned.

Now I move because it brings me joy, not because I’m trying to be “better.”

And I eat intuitively.

Not perfectly — just peacefully.

I honor my hunger, my fullness, and the deeper needs underneath it all.

This is the heart of the work I do now.

I help women stop fighting their bodies and start trusting them again.

I help women come home to themselves through intuitive eating, mindful movement, and soul-aligned self-care.

Because healing doesn’t come from another diet.

It doesn’t come from shaming yourself into change.

And it doesn’t come from chasing someone else’s idea of “success.”

True confidence is born when you stop abandoning yourself.

It grows when you choose compassion over control.

And it thrives when you learn to trust your body as your guide.

If you're tired of the cycle of dieting, burnout, and feeling like you’re never enough — know this:

Your path to freedom doesn’t live in another meal plan or gym schedule.

It lives in the quiet trust between you and your body.

It lives in the permission to rest.

To play.

To eat.

To feel.

It lives in your wholeness.
