But here's the thing—I wasn’t always athletic. Growing up in the arts, I was more into singing and dancing than lifting weights or running races. The idea of hitting the gym or playing sports felt intimidating. It wasn’t until after college that I made the decision to prioritize my health, and once I joined a gym, I was hooked. The more I moved my body, the more I realized how empowering it was to challenge myself in new ways. In 2018, I ran my first half marathon, and that was the beginning of my love for endurance events. Since then, I’ve completed multiple half marathons, a full marathon, and several Hyrox races. Along the way, I created my own hybrid training programs and fell in love with coaching others to reach their fitness goals, discovering how movement can be both a physical and mental transformation.  As I continued to train and push my limits, I also realized the powerful role nutrition plays in how we feel and perform. This led me to dive deeper into the science of fueling our bodies, and in 2023, I became a Certified Nutrition Coach. Now, I help others not only train harder but also eat smarter, so they can perform at their best. This will be a place for us to connect, learn, and grow together, building a community of like-minded individuals on a mission to feel better, live healthier, and empower each other every step of the way.   Produced and Edited by "The Cast Collective" in Nashville, TN!  Visit us today at https://www.thecastcollective.com  Email: [e-mail]  Follow The Cast Collective on Instagram & Twitter!  Instagram: @TheCastCollective  Twitter: @TheCastCollective   LINKS YOU'LL LOVE: Meal Prep Essentials: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit/posts/51fbfc78-b261-11ef-b821-0242ac110028 Blue Light Blockers - Dream Recovery: Code “SAM15” https://dreamrecovery.io/products/dream-blue-light-glasses Red Light - Lumebox: Code “SAMCFIT” https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=2501&discount=samcfit Walking Pad: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit/posts/0bf6fc37-a076-11ef-8706-0242ac110014
