✨ Episode Description:
In this episode, I open up about a powerful realization I had—the desire to look at every area of my life and ensure I was taking intentional action to grow. From deep personal lows to rebuilding my identity, I share how the concept of becoming your best self emerged from moments of heartbreak, burnout, and ultimately, self-reflection.
I dive into the internal shift I experienced after hitting a low point—not because of my external environment, but because I had lost touch with myself. I talk about how I pulled myself out by focusing on 1% improvement every single day—through fitness, nutrition, mindset, personal development, and discipline. This is a journey of reconnecting with your vision, building sustainable habits, and showing up for the person you know you’re meant to be.
