From fitness model to mental health advocate: my raw and honest journey through depression, social media perfection, and finding true purpose.
In this deeply personal video for The Hike With Mike Foundation, I reveal how the pressure to maintain a "perfect" image nearly destroyed me, and how I transformed that struggle into a mission to help others.
Learn about:
🔸 The reality behind social media perfection
🔹 Breaking free from mental health stigma
🔸 Finding the right person to talk to
🔹 The power of authentic connection
🔸 Transforming pain into purpose
If you're struggling with mental health or feeling trapped by social media's highlight reel, this video offers hope, practical advice, and a reminder that you're not alone.
Join me as I share my journey from the fitness industry to founding The Prime Life Project, helping others navigate their mental health journey.
