Do I have a treat for you guys! I got to sit down with one of my day 1 homies from my hometown to discuss her journey overcoming mental health struggles and the passion she has for fitness. Bella Boone always takes the opportunity to go after what she wants, but it wasn’t always like this. Before, she actually wasn’t authentic to herself and that presented multiple challenges for her. We will also uncover what it takes to be in a body building competition and the obstacles necessary to overcome it.
