Speaker 4 (02:06):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Girl, really, really, I love a before and after and
a transformation, and you are like the queen of it.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
My gosh, people don't believe it, but they have to
see it to believe it.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
So take us back to that doctor's appointment in March
of twenty twenty What exactly was going on in your life?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, COVID was almost My husband had to stop working
and traveling in January. I had a doctor's appointment in March,
and of course the schools were still in session. My
kids were still in school thirteen and sixteen at the time.
I had a doctor's appointment for a checkup and I
went in and the doctor looked at me, came in
and said, you know, your labs don't look great. You

(02:57):
have all these health problems and you're tipping the scales
at two hundred and eighty four pounds. You're almost three
hundred pounds and you're only five six. He says, you
can leave your kids without a mom. And it was
almost kind of like you threw water in my face
and gave me a life sentence of death. And I
knew at that point in time, I had to change

(03:20):
what I was doing. I wasn't working for many, many years.
I was getting heavier and heavier. I had all kinds
of health issues, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type two diabetes,
back issues, gum disease, you name it, I had it.
And I remember leaving that office and sitting in my
car and I broke down because I lost my mom

(03:42):
when I was fourteen years old. She was diagnosed with
breast cancer in nineteen ninety and died in nineteen ninety one.
She was only fifty years old. And I here, I was,
you know, forty three, with a mom and a mom
of a thirteen and a sixteen year old. Here. I
lost my mom when I was fourteen because she neglected
her health. She put everybody else first before she put herself.

(04:05):
And that's basically what I did. I was always doing
for everyone else, but I was never really taking charge
of my own life and my own health. And I
remember just sitting there, breaking down, crying, thinking I could
not leave my kids. I can not be there for graduation,
all the moments in their life like there, the birth
of their children, marriage, graduation from college. All these things

(04:27):
were popping in my mind and I thought, how could
I be selfish then to not want to live for
my kids? And so I had to make a change.
And it was right then that it is like the
bulb went off in my head, like this is happening.
I got to do this now.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wow, that's remarkable.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
You know, I lost my mom and my mom was
forty two when she passed away from brain cancer, and
you know, obviously it wasn't her fault, but I totally
know what it's like to lose a mother at such
a young age. And I think for me, I went
the opposite way that you've gone. I've always been a
complete health freak and drinking the green juice, exercising, do
all these things so I don't get sick. So I

(05:05):
think that's kind of what happens when you get lose
your mother at a young age. You either you know,
become you know, you eat for comfort, or you go
the other way and just do everything you can to
stay healthy. So I just applaud you so much for
doing that. I know, what was it like those first
few days, Like how did you put yourself on a diet?

Speaker 4 (05:26):
What did you do well? I had to go to
Walmart actually and buy me a pair of tennis shoes
because I didn't have a pair to work out in.
I remember going there and buying a fifteen dollars pair
of tennis shoes, a pair of workout shorts, and a
couple of T shirts. I didn't have any of those
types of clothes. I was a mom. I was wearing
jeans and you know, sweats and all these kind of

(05:47):
things taking my kids to them from school. And I
didn't have workout clothes. So I went to Walmart got those,
started getting I got some wattle water. I ended up
getting some vegetables, some fruits, some chicken. I thought, okay,
well this is where I've got to start. I then
went home and poured out every single Coca Cola I had.
I was going through a case and a half to

(06:09):
two cases within a day or two. I was a
sugar add Sugar was my friend. I had to have
that carbonation. I have to have that that sugar rush
and I was drinking my calories. So I knew I
had to start eating better. And I went to the
camp pantry and threw away all the stuff I loved.

(06:30):
I kept all the things on my kids loved, but
I threw away everything I loved because I didn't want
any temptation. And I went home, and when I got there,
I looked at YouTube videos. I thought, I've got to
start a workout. I didn't have a treadmill, and I
didn't belong to a gym. I don't like gems just
because I don't like people watching me. So I thought, well,
you know what I've plus, COVID was coming around. I

(06:51):
knew things were starting to close down, and I knew
that probably was going to be a possibility. So I
went ahead and start looking up YouTube videos and found
a few and started to look at them and see, well,
which one did I want to do? And I laid
my clothes out the very first, very first night, I
went to bed. The next morning, I got up, got
my husband's I had turned down that YouTube video in

(07:13):
the living room before my kids and anybody else in
the house woke up and started my exercise regimen.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And how did that feel. Did it feel awful?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, I dreaded it. I was used to sleeping in
the morning and hitting this snooze button, you know, before
taking my kids and making them lunch and getting them
out the door, so I wasn't prepared to wake up
thirty minutes early. I the first ten minutes into the video,
I started feeling like I was giving out. I wasn't
having a lot of energy. I just didn't feel it.

(07:44):
And I pretty much sat there and I cried for
the first few minutes after that. And I couldn't do it.
And that was just a word, couldn't. I was making
an excuse for myself, knowing that I could very well
do it, but I just didn't want to. But I
knew I needed to. Here in the living room, I
was looking at the pictures of my family and my kids.

(08:05):
They were everywhere. The book the bookshelves had picture frames
on them, and I thought, these are my why, this
is why I'm doing this.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I had to get back up into over.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Again and I completed that first workout. After I did,
I thought, well, you know what, that wasn't so bad.
I had to get over the pity party moment and
pull up my big girl britches and and go go
do it.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
So what was the hardest part at the beginning, like
giving about giving up the coke and you know, because
you're so used to drinking that, Like.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Was that hard or yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:36):
I wanted to hard because I woke up, you know,
I would wake up first thing in the morning and
I would go straight to a Coca Cola. That was
my coffee. I wasn't drinking coffee. I was like, that
was my morning wake up drink and uh and and
the fact of just getting exercise and movement. It was
trying to find just the energy to do that. And

(08:58):
I just I had to to reach in deep inside
and know that I could not die. I had too
many strokes before I was thirty five years old, and
I didn't want.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
To wait, wait, you had a stroke.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
I had too many strokes before I was thirty five. Yeah, wow,
yeah it was. It was right before my daughter's fifth birthday.
I landed in the hospital. I was going numb on
one side of my body and went to the er
and they diagnosed me with having too many strokes and

(09:33):
I had two blood clots in my leg and they
said that I was very lucky that they didn't travel
and caused me to die. Absolutely, you would have thought
I would have got myself right by then, But I
just didn't have it in me. I just I didn't
have the mindset of being healthy. I blocked it being held.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
So isn't it remarkable how once you put your mind
to it. There's one of my quotes that I have
on my computers. As soon as you decide that what
you want to do, the universe just stands out of
your way. You just the mind is so incredibly powerful
either way it can benefit you or it can make you.

(10:17):
You can tell yourself all this negativity and you don't
believe it like you did at the beginning, And then
once you decided, everything changed right.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Well. I had to create a routine that could become habit,
like brushing my teeth, making my bed. I had to
be able to do that every single day for a
consistent amount of days before it really sank in that
this was my routine. And then I started seeing the
reflection on the scale each week. I started seeing myself
feel better, and I was waking up and going to

(10:47):
sleep better. I was having all these things happening in
just a short period of time, and I thought, well,
you know what, I can do this, this right here,
I can do this. I was letting fear hold me back.
I was overthinking a lot of things, and I just
had to pause, breathe, and relax and trust the process
that was ahead of me.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
How much weight did you lose the first week? Do
you remember?

Speaker 4 (11:10):
The first week? I lost five and a half pounds,
And that was a very big, big thing for me,
because it's hard for somebody to lose half a pound
or a pound, and here I lost a little over
five pounds. I was like, wow, if I can do
this consistently or get close to this each and every week,
then I can see myself really really changing my life.

(11:33):
And here we are in March. I thought, well, you know,
summer's coming around. Maybe I can get into some nice clothes.
And my husband and I were putting a pool up, and
I thought, well, maybe I won't feel so bad sitting
by the pool, and maybe I'll have that energy and
just feel good and feel good about myself and have
that self confidence and self esteem that I lacked for
so many years because I was heavy, buried in a

(11:55):
very big body.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
So long did you start like noticing, like when did
you go buy your like what did you treat yourself
buying like the first like new pair of jeens? Like
did you do that like every time you walked down
another spot?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Or how did you.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
I never really truly went to shopping shopping when I
When I did, I would go like consignment stores because
I was dropping weight and I didn't I didn't have
I wasn't quite near my goal weight or close to
it yet. But I didn't want to waste money knowing
that I was going to go down in size, and
I thought, well, you know, when I when I finally
do get to a point, I'll get me some new

(12:32):
clothes and and and I'll go from there. But until then,
I went to consignment stores because you know, I'm I'm
very thrifty, and I didn't want to spend a whole
lot of money knowing that I was I was not
near the end of my journey. I wanted to have
more accomplishments and more non scale victories that come with
losing weight. I my favorite store is TJ Max, and

(12:55):
I went in there a few months after I a
lot of weight, and I did go for a pier
of jeans, a here of skinny jeans. I had never
wore a pair of skinny jeans in my life. And
I tried them on with a pair of heels over
there in the section and a top, and I looked
in the mirror and I took a picture and I

(13:16):
was like, wow, this is me. I'm like, I went
from assize twenty four pants to a size zero in
two years.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
That is remarkable.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
I mean, honestly, I have not heard of anyone going
making I mean, I've seen people go down to maybe
a ten or a twelve, but I mean to get
down to a zero. Do you feel like you're at
your good weight now? Did you think you were going
to keep losing weight?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Like?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Did you know when to stop and go? Okay, I'm good.
I just need to maintain well.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
The first year, I was a little over ninety pounds
and I went back to my doctor. My doctor really
didn't even recognize me, and he's like, you know, you
actually took what I said to heart. He said, I
wouldn't be in businesses if everybody did what you did.
And he said, you know, I was close to one
seventy ish one eighty, and he said, if this is

(14:11):
all there is, then this is great. You've done remarkable,
and I said, this is not all there is. This
is not what healthy looks like to me, and there's
a couple more goals I want for myself. So I
did go ahead and set those goals, and I thought, well,
you know, around one thirty five, one thirty I think
would be great because I'm not a really tall woman.
And I end up losing and getting down to one

(14:33):
twenty seven. I'm standing still. I'm right where I'm at.
If I gain a little bit due to muscle, I'm awesome,
you know, perfectly fine with that. I never thought I
could be here. So I'm just glad that I have
my health back and I have no health issues.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
You know, I'm just incredible. Yeah, I'm bravo. I mean,
I just applaud you. We're going to take our first

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Welcome back. I'm Christina Flack. We are chatting with Dana
Bradley and her amazing transformation. So Dana tell me this story. Wait,
what happened with the jeans that you fit your body into?

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yes, I had a pair of jeans. They were like
a bell bottom jean, and I had hit them in
my closet because they were one of my favorite pairs.
And when I went to go clean out my closet
after losing so much weight, I got those pair out
and I thought, wow, like these are huge. I was
going to donate everything, and I thought well, you know,
one last time, I'm gonna go ahead and see what

(17:43):
they look like on And I was able to put
my whole body into one of the pant lakes and
I took a picture of it. Yeah, I was just like, wow,
my whole body fits into this one pant side right.
And when I think about it, when I think about
one hundred and fifty seven pounds, I lost a whole
complete person. But then again, I really did life a

(18:05):
healthier life, so it's great.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
What was the hardest thing to let go of eating
or drinking?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
And what have you replaced it with?

Speaker 4 (18:17):
First of all, my Coca colas. I've replaced it with
unsweet tea and lemon and water. And as far as
food goes, I loved fast food. I was really big
into all the fried foods, the tatoes, and all the
comfort foods. And I had to learn how to replace

(18:38):
those with healthier recipes. So I take a recipe that
I used to use back in the day, and I
create it differently using healthier ingredients, where I still have
kind of like the same meal, but it's not fried.
It's either baked or grilled, or it has different ingredients
where it may have turkey instead of beef or something

(19:00):
like that. I've been able to master that. I wasn't
really big into a lot of donuts and things like that,
but I have created recipes with healthier versions of that,
with protein and things like that that incorporate my healthy lifestyle.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Did your husband go on a diet as well, and
your kids did it therapy?

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Well, my husband, you know the sometimes when you cook,
it brings a family together, and not everybody's willing to
jump in the boat when you are. My kids are
pretty much healthy eaters anyway, they were always, you know,
pretty much you know, on the health kick of eating healthier,
they will have their occasional fast food. But my husband

(19:41):
loves food and it was a little bit harder for
him to adjust to it. So he's on his journey
now into into his healthy lifestyle. But not everybody's in
the boat when you are. I just know that I
had to we we had to make some sacrifices, but
along way, you know, we made it work.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Did you see a difference in how people treated you
before when you were bigger than now? So what was
the difference.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
I've had a lot of haters, I've had a lot
of negative people you know, to come at me and
try to judge my journey. They think they know it
better than I do. I know my journey and my story.
I've written every page of it. And people do society
treat you differently when you are a thinner person. There

(20:32):
were many times when COVID was was not an issue anymore.
We were able to go to football games. My daughter
was a very big avid baton troller with the band.
We'd go sit there and watch her during halftime, and
I'd sit there with my husband and my friend and
there would be people coming up talking to both of
them and they would ignore me, and I couldn't figure

(20:52):
out why, and I would leave and they would message
me and say, I didn't realize that was you sitting there, Dana.
You changed so much. I didn't recognize you. You look
completely different. You look great, but you look completely different.
I've had people approach my husband and ask if we
have gotten a divorce, because, you know, did you marry
somebody new there's this new new lady with you and
want to know did you did you married? And so

(21:15):
that was a very big challenge. My kids friends were
seeing in a different light. I was always the big
heavy mom. My kids never saw a thin, healthy mom
or a mom that had long hair. It was like
I was totally transformed in a way differently for them
they had ever seen. But people do treat you differently.
People will come and support you, and people will come

(21:39):
and be negative towards you. And I've used all the
negativity that I've gotten to fuel my desire to be better,
to fuel my desire to approach my goals in a
different way. I remain kind and humble to people and
show them grace when they don't need it or don't
deserve it, only because I like to sleep better at night.
And I know that's time I've heard has raised me.

(22:00):
They had great morals and values, and they had a
great legacy that carried on with them after they're passing,
and I'm creating my legacy. I want my kids to
know how I am as a person and how I
treat people. And not everybody's going to walk with you
on the journey. Not everybody's going to support you. I
didn't have the family support I really wanted people. You know,

(22:22):
in my family, they didn't want me to change. They
didn't they saw me looking different, and they were very
self conscious about it themselves, very insecure and didn't know
how to really approach it because Mom was changing in
such a way. But I'm still the same person. I
just have a different outer shell. And I just tell

(22:46):
people that it's important to have a good tribe, a
good unit of people that support and lift you up
without the journey. Without it in the journey, it makes
it really, really hard. The person that I think the
most through my journey me is God. He was with
me every single day. He was my mechanism and my
survival guide to being able to continue to do this.

(23:09):
Very spiritual. It was a very spiritual, emotional, and mental
journey that it didn't all happen physically. It happened in
all those stages, right.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
How did your relationship with yourself change during this journey.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
I loved myself enough to know I had to change.
I loved the I love the older Dana because I
had the courage and the bravery to change. I was
always a good person, a good mom, a good wife,
a good friend, a good sister, a good aunt. But
now I look at myself and I've been able to

(23:52):
give my family back many more years.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
With me.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
I've been able to show others and inspire other through
my journey that it's possible that here I am forty
eight years old. God, you know, creates us. We live,
and then we die. Except I forgot how to live.
I was just pretty much stuck in park mode like

(24:18):
you would have a car. And that day in the
doctor's office just it ignited the fire in me. And
right now I'm still burning because there's so much left,
so much left in me, and nobody's going to extinguish it.
They tried to, but they can't because I'm in control

(24:40):
of my life. I'm in control of my own destiny,
and I'm navigating the waters with God in the boat
and my parents as co pilots.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
How do you think you overcame moments of doubt? I mean,
were there days, I'm sure there are. We all have
them that you're just like, oh my gosh, I can't
do this. I don't want to do it anymore.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
There were many days, you know, there are many days,
especially when the support wasn't there. There were many days
when I was having haters come at me. You know,
I would have hateful messages. I would have people, you know,
message me from no numbers on a phone and tell
me how ugly I was looking, and you know how

(25:24):
I didn't deserve you know how I didn't deserve to
you know, lots of white. I mean, I had a
lot of a lot of negativity, especially you know in
the running community. I'm a very avid runner. I run
six miles a day. I have for for many years.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Now.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
I I that's my that's that's my antidepressant, that is
my vy Draga choice is running. I had a lot
of hatred and.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
And I now you do you have that now?

Speaker 4 (25:53):
I still do. I still do. But misery loves company,
and there's always me to be somebody that wants to
compete with you. I'm authentic, I'm not a copy. I'm
confident in who I am and confident in where I'm
going in life because God is my captain and He's
made and made some remarkable opportunities and let some remarkable

(26:16):
doors open for me, and I'm running through them right now.
People don't like that, and and that's okay, But I'm
happy where I'm at in my journey. There's never a
finish line in my journey. There's always going to be
something that you want to achieve that's even bigger and
better that you can say that you did. I want
my kids to know that they can do anything they

(26:38):
want to. I want women to know that they're not stuck.
I want men to know they're not stuck. We give
so much to others that sometimes we fail and forget
to self love and give us, you know, give ourselves
self care and really needs to be We really need
to do more of that, and then we really need
to do more as a society upon lifting others up

(26:59):
instead of tearing people down. We don't ever know what
somebody is going through. And I will always tell my kids,
you know, always treat others with kindness because you never
know what that one little thing that you can do
or say is going to do to a person one
day they.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
May need it.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
The most society is you know, different when you look
a certain way, and it shouldn't and doors of opportunity
would never have opened had I not lost the weight.
I'm grateful and thankful, but yet we need to do
better as a society. We need to you know, we

(27:35):
need to lift each other up more. You know, we
only have so much time here on this earth and
then and then we're gone. We need to appreciate it.
And be grateful and show more gratitude for being here.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
So how did you go from doing these workouts on
YouTube in your living.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Room to going and running six miles?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
What other workouts have you done or how did How
long did it take for you to like go?

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Now, I think I'm to go for a run today.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Well, I lost the first forty to fifty pounds first,
and then I started running out. Well, I started like
what I was what I would call fast walking and
then jogging in intervals around the around the track at
the local high school. I would do this something at
the park too, do bleacher workouts. I would get to
a point where I would do a little bit and

(28:22):
then I stopped do a little bit until where I
finally got to where that first first time, I was
not jogging, but I was running a mile, and I
was like, I'm actually doing this like the doctors told
me I shouldn't. And the doctors told me I couldn't
because I had two hundred eight disc in my back,
three bulging disc, and I had the lower starting arthritis.
They told me I shouldn't do this. So I was
thinking to myself, I'm really just do I have a

(28:44):
setback or do I have a comeback. What it's just
going to look like for me?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
And I just know that a comeback, that's a good one.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
And the endorphins were just like all over the place.
It was just it was a beautiful day, and I thought,
you know what, I'm going to keep doing this, and
I went out there the next day. I did a
little bit more, and then I got to where I
was at a good three miles a day, and then
I picked it up and thought, I want to do
something more. I'd do four miles and I finally got
up to six miles a day, and I thought, you
know what, this is great. I was doing bleacher workouts,

(29:13):
run at the park, running down the driveway, and then
I also incorporate six days a week lifting weights, not heavyweights,
but lifting weights. I went and got kettle bells, dumb bells,
resistance fans, and I do everything in my own home.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
That is fantastic. And what about your diet?

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Now, So tell me what's a typical day, like what
do you eat?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I'm always fascinated by people's diets because I started doing it.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
A typical day would be, you know, I get up
in the morning, usually around three thirty to four o'clock
every morning, and I get my coffee. I do a
little bit of sweet and vanilla almond milk with some
vital proteins and which I love that type of collagen.
I've been taking college in for five years. I think
it does a remarkable job my joints, and it's helping

(29:57):
with you know, my hair and my skin and just overall.
I do that every morning, and then I do my
strength training and then I'll go ahead and go out
for my run, usually running with a headlamp. Especially this
you know, this daylight savings time is still pretty dark
out when I go running, so I usually, you know,
put my headlamp on i'm running. I also run with

(30:18):
a weight at VEST. I have a twenty pound weight
at VEST that I put on that I run with.
And then I'll That was something that I picked up
around six months ago. I wanted some a little bit
more endurance and something a little bit more challenging for
my workouts. And I thought, well, you know what, I
had this really great friend who was running with a
weight at best, and I thought, you know what, I

(30:38):
may not be able to do as much as them,
but I'm gonna go ahead and get a weight at best,
and I tried it did an eight pound west eight pound,
a twelve pound that went up to twenty pounds. It's
a remarkable workout. And then I come in. I usually
make me some eggs, a little bit of turkey bacon
or turkey sausage. Usually have like a whole piece of toaster.

(31:00):
I'll have some yogurt with some granola. I'll have a
snack of either yogurt cottage cheese. Around ten ten thirty lunch,
I'll have a you know, some tuna. I'll have some veggies.
I'll either have a protein shake. I'll have another snack
around mid afternoon, around two or three. Then I have
my dinner, which usually consist of meat. I always try

(31:23):
to incorporate protein and everything that I eat, including all
my snacks. I stay away from, you know a lot
of the white flowers and the rices and things like that.
But I usually try to get around one hundred and
twenty tow one hundred and thirty grands for protein in
a day. I still pretty much track my food only
because I like the fact of knowing what is going

(31:43):
on my fork. It's very important for me to know
that I'm staying consistent with what I'm eating and eating
the healthiest. I can. I do a little bit more carbs,
and I used to because I burn more carbs for
my run, so I have to have that energy. I
pretty much fuel my body like a car. I have
all the nutrients that I need it to run. If

(32:03):
it's lacking something, it's not going to run properly. So
I know I need to go ahead and do better
on some days, and I've just been able to carry
that with me throughout my journey.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Hello, I'm Christina Flack.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
We were chatting with Dana Bradley about her transformation of
one hundred and fifty seven pounds. We were just chatting
about hydration, because everyone knows I'm obsessed with green juice
and water and it just it's amazing the difference in
one's skin. And I was just curious if you had
been doing, you know, drinking the green juice and having
the water, and of course you're doing all those good things,

(34:49):
all right, the big we got to hear what it like?
How what inspired you to compete for Miss Alabama International?

Speaker 1 (34:58):
That is a big deal.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Well, you know, my mom, I grew up watching you know,
the Miss America as TEENUSA. I grew up watching all
those things with my mom. We would sit down and
we would look and see who the you know, who
would be picked for the top ten, who the prettiest dresses.
That was kind of like one of our things we did,
and that one of the memories I will have with
my mom. And after I lost a lot of weight,

(35:21):
and I started posting pictures and stuff online. I had
a photographer friend who took my daughter's pictures and stuff
for her baton and stuff, and he said, you know,
you've had an amazing transformation. He said, you need to
do a pageant because he's a very he's very big
into pageant tree and very big into taking pictures to
the pageant women. He's like, you need to do it.

(35:43):
He's like, you, you just need to. And so I started,
you know, I asked myself, you know, where to start.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
When he said that, what was your.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
I was like wow, Like he's in the pageant world
and he thinks I have a chance at doing a pageant.
I'm like, wow, this is like okay. It was really
kind of shocked, but that's something I would never have
thought thought of. So I started researching Missus pageants and
I came across the Missus International Pageant and what it was.

(36:13):
I wanted something that was platform based because I wanted
to be able to bring my help and wellness platform
uh you know, to to a larger audience. And I
remember connecting with the director and applying for it, and
I sent her in a picture and we got to talking.
She we did several interviews and she said, I have

(36:34):
several applicants from you know, from your area that have
you know, been survivors of cancer and things like that.
There's a lot of great platforms out there. What makes
you want to do a pageant?

Speaker 1 (36:45):
And you know and I.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
And I said, you know, my mom and I used
to watch them, you know when I was a kid,
and I never really had the self esteem or thought
that I was beautiful or pretty enough to be able
to do one of those. But you know, here, you know,
a photographer friend had kind of reached out and said,
you know what I think you ought to So this
is where I am and this is what I've done.
And she said, well, She's like, like, what kind of transformation?

(37:08):
And I sent her pictures on my transformation and she's like, whoa,
this is this, this is something I've never seen before.
And and so I went through many interviews and many
different calls, and she said, well, we will let you
know what you know, what we what comes down to
because they didn't actually have a pageant set up in
my area. Everything was through interview, through through things that

(37:32):
we have talked about, and I got the selection in
September and I will never forget, you know. She said,
you know you you we have chosen you to represent
your state. And I was like, wow, like this is crazy,
and she said, you will go into Nationals in July.

(37:54):
And I was supposed to go to Nationals July twenty seventh,
which was my daddy's birthday. And I thought, how I
is it that the National Pageant falls on my dad's birthday.
I was like, like, is this what I'm supposed to
be doing? But I remember getting my crown and my sash,
and I was like, this is crazy because I never
thought this was something that would be possible for me.

(38:17):
And I started to own it. I thought, you know what,
I went through my journey. I've lost one hundred and
fifty seven pounds through diet of being healthy, eating lifestyle changes.
I deserve this. This is something I want to do.
This is something God has brought me to. And I

(38:37):
held so much gratitude and I just, you know, I
it was just to me, it was a dream come
true because I never thought that after losing one hundred
and fifty seven pounds, that two hundred eighty four pound
woman and a woman who was you know, forty forty
six would have ever been chosen to represent her state

(38:58):
out of the many any wonderful women they could have chosen,
they chose me.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
So what was that like when you got to the
Nationals there and did you think you had a chance
or did you think like, oh, this is just fun,
but there's no way.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Well, I actually I actually had I actually resigned my
crown three months before Nationals and I had the I
was I was lacking support. It was getting to the
point where it was really hurting my mental health. I
didn't have support within my family. They didn't want me
doing the pageant. And I have to speak honestly about

(39:33):
that because as part of my journey, I thought, well,
you know, if they can't support me, then why am
I going on here to a national stage. I can't
put on a a facade. And a lot of things
were going on the pageant world. They were you know,
talking to me about deadlines and things that were not

(39:56):
you know, disclosed to me. Early on, I was getting
worried because you know, I had some sponsors, but it
was going to cost me a whole lot more money
than I had had. And my kids, in fact, were
in you know, I had one in college already and
I had one fixing to go to college, and I
thought to myself, it would be selfish for me to
go through with it and take away from my daughter

(40:17):
and my son who are going to college here. They
have an opportunity that I never had, and how dare
I take that away from them by benefiting myself and
going to this pageant. So I thought about it real
long and hard, and though it was hard to give up,
I'm glad I had a chance to do it, and

(40:39):
I knew my reasons why. But you know, people came
to me and they're like, you know what, you know
that that must have been. That's the bravest thing anyone's
ever done. I had lots of women from the pageant
world reach out to me and say, you know what,
what you did was remarkable, and you gave up a
dream for your kids, and that's pretty much what I did.

(41:04):
I love them with all my heart and I would
do anything. Oh, so I had to. I had to,
and at least I know that they can go on

(41:27):
and succeed with their careers, and I didn't want to
take from them. You know, I've been told I've been
selfish for my journey and wanting to lose weight, and
it's hard because I'm anything but.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
That it's amazing how people project their these things onto you.
And I also feel like when someone's telling you that
it's really none of their business. And I think it's
so admirable as a mother that you did this. First
of all, you're giving your kids. You know, we can

(42:06):
always say like, oh, you should be healthy and do
all these things, but you're setting an amazing example. You're
setting an amazing example also of turning your life around
that it's never too late and that's a real gift
for your kids, and so you know. And also someone
saying that you're selfish says who like, you know, I

(42:28):
just sometimes those are the kind of people that you
just need to remove from your life because they sound
really toxic and really cruel quite frankly, and if any
I mean, I've known you for an hour and I
can I know that you aren't selfish, and you know what,
it takes a lot of discipline work to do all
the things that you've done and accomplished, and why shouldn't you.

(42:49):
And I also feel that self care is the greatest
gift that you can give to anyone because you're a
way better mother, friend, wife, everything because you're giving that
yourself that you know, a few hours in the morning
to work out and eat well, all those things, you

(43:09):
can do so much more for everybody else. So it's
farthest thing from selfish.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
Right, And you know it hurts when it comes from
the closest people to you. But at the same time,
you know not everybody is going to adjust to your
journey and know why you did certain things. And I
will always go back to why I started my journey.
I wanted to add some more years onto my life

(43:36):
so that I could I could see my kids grow up.
And so giving up the giving up the crown, which
you know, I was told I was a very I
was very gonna be it was gonna be very competitive
for others to compete against me because of my transformation
and my platform. And I think I could have had

(43:58):
a really good chance.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I'll never know, but I feel that I wish I
would have known you I would have never allowed it.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
I think I think God opens doors on his timing,
and I think he also closes those doors. And I
felt like at that night that he closed that door
for a reason to better me, for for things ahead.
So you know, I trust in his I trust in him.
I have faith in him where it was lost for

(44:28):
a long time after the passing of my mom. But
over the years and through my journey, I learned to
have hope that hope heals, and I just I've learned
to have a greater faith spiritually.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
What was your first New York Fashion Week experience?

Speaker 4 (44:46):
Like?

Speaker 1 (44:46):
How did that happen? Do you have an agent or
how did that know? It was?

Speaker 4 (44:50):
It was completely amazing when I was when I was
in the pageant, I went to a local formal store
and I of the owner there hooking me up with
a couple of dresses and a couple of shoes from
this designer, and I modeled the shoes there and I
tagged him in a post and he connected with me

(45:14):
and he started talking about, you know, the pageant and
about how he was doing New York Fashion Week, and
we got to be friends and he's like, you really
should walk New York Fashion Week. He's like, you've earned it.
The transformation is remarkable, and he offered the opportunity for
me to walk fashion Week and I was like, I
told my friend. That was the first person I told
him she's like, you got to go because she loves
New York, so you've got to go. I'll go with you.

(45:35):
You've got to go. Nobody's talking you out this. You're
going to fashion Week. And I'm like a good friend,
I'm like me a model, and she's like, yeah, you're
going to do this. And I did. I got there
at fashion Week. It was actually around It was a
few days after my birthday, and I was almost kind
of like the greatest birthday gift ever. And I remember

(45:58):
going into the in the fitting room with the designer
my friend, and him handing me two outfits for me
to try on. These were things I would never have worn,
the colors. I was like, well, I'm just a hangar
for his designs and went ahead and he gave me
these high these high heels, blinged out high heels. They

(46:18):
were tall, and I thought, oh, my gosh, are you
trying to end my running days because I'll never be
able to walk in these.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
And we had.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
About five minutes to walk to practice that day, and uh,
and I did. I did. I did well for the
first time, and and the second day approach were you
know where it was going to be showtime and I
remember that very first That first morning, I was just nervous.
You know, it was runway day. I was like, I

(46:46):
just need to pray and hope I don't fall out
there because everybody's going to be watching and here I
am never being on the runway. I needed to act
like I knew what I was doing to be there.
You see all these young models who are in there
in the twenties, and it's like, here you are, you know,
nearing fifty and you're walking the runway. It's like, wow,

(47:06):
do I belong here. I'll never forget. They lined us up,
we got to hear makeup done. It was just a
glamorous experience, a rush experience, but glamorous experience. And I
remember the music blaring in the background and I started
crying and everybody's like, are you okay? Are you okay?
And I said, yeah, I'm more than okay. I've had
this remarkable journey, and I feel like this is another

(47:28):
reward of my journey. I'm getting to walk New York
Fashion Week. Here I am modeling clothes. This is something
that is completely out of my comfort zone. I never
would have thought about being here. I just I remember
just just hearing that music and being pumped up and
hear just the tears were flowing down my face. I

(47:49):
was like, am I messing my makeup up? Am I
missing my makeup up? And They're like, no, You're good,
You're good, You're good, And everybody's like, are you fine?
Are you fine? Last I'm more than okay. It was
just one of those moments that I I nobody could
ever feel but me, and it was it was it
was just it was like I went through all this
stuff in my life and through my journey and obstacles

(48:14):
that here I am on the runway, I am backstage
fixing to walk out and model my designer's clothing. I'm like,
this is like a huge moment for me because I.

Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
We are chatting with Dana about her amazing transformation. Dana,
what is your message to people who think that they're
too old to change?

Speaker 1 (50:52):
What would you say to.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Them that's excuse. We're never too old. We all have
something inside. We need to find out what that is
and go ahead and bring it forward and do it.
We're only here for a certain period of time on
this earth, and we need to go ahead and take
every advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Right.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
How do you define success now versus before your transformation?

Speaker 4 (51:19):
Success to me is being able to do what I've
accomplished by not giving up, having determination, having the focused
consistency and diligence to and the resilience encouraged to just
move forward. People can have People can go ahead and
define success in different ways. People can have success in

(51:41):
their marriage, people can have success in their careers in journeys.
And I feel like I've had a remarkable success with
having a transformation and getting healthy and becoming a health coach.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I love that where's your happy place?

Speaker 4 (52:00):
Happy place is when I have my running shoes on
and my feet are hitting the pavement. That's my happy place.
It's where I.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Get clarity and those music when you're read I do.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
I listen to music. My favorite song of all times
and one of that is very very important in my
journey is Don't Stop Believing. And it's from Journey. That's
that's my number one song that if if someone can
say what is the song of your journey, that would
be it.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Well, I'm going to tell the right The writer Jonathan
kin who wrote that song is.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
My daughter's godfather. Oh wow, I will I will relay
that message to him. Jonathan Kane. What do you do
when your day is not flowing?

Speaker 4 (52:43):
What do I do when my day is not flowing.
I usually journal. I usually pause, breathe and relax and
just you know, take in the moments that I can
do that. I get overwhelmed a lot. I do a
lot of things throughout the day, even though I'm a
stay at home which I don't have any kids anymore. Here,
I'm an empty nester. But I do help coach people

(53:06):
into healthy lifestyles. But I just basically, sometimes I'll get
in my car and I'll go for a ride and
go to the grocery store and just there's a piece
of there's just a piece upon my life of just
being able to get out there and live life. I
was behind closed doors forever and sitting at our recliner
taking power naps all day, just being tired of being tired,

(53:30):
and now being able to get out and do all
these things. I'm not taking life for granted. I was
only given one.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
How do you spoil yourself?

Speaker 4 (53:44):
I like to go get my nails done, and I
like to get my feet done. I take good care
of my feet because I run and my feet, my
feet pretty much carry me, and so I get pedicures
and manicures when I can, and those are kind of
my rewards. For myself and just to have a little

(54:05):
bit of me time.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
What do you see where do you see your life
in the next five years?

Speaker 1 (54:12):
What goals? What are your new goals that you've set for.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
This coming five years or this coming year.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
My new goals. I want to have my book and
I want it to be a survival guide for someone
who is struggling, whether they're having grief, or whether they're
in their weight lost journey, or whether they're in a
journey itself and their life. I want them to be
able to pick that book up and read and go,
you know what, because I read her story, I'm not
giving up today. I would love to be able to

(54:40):
be on a stage and motivational speak and be able
to speak to many men and women and let them
know that it's never too late to be able to
own your dreams, take charge of your life, and it's
never it's never too late. I also, you know, I
would love maybe to get into Malli, maybe have a
documentary or you know, maybe a little show of some kind.

(55:04):
I don't know, maybe another pageant in the future. Basically,
my main thing is my book and being able to
motivational speak. I want to be able to carry others
through the next stage of their life.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
What do you do have special skincare that you do
now or do you have makeup that you love?

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Like You've learned to do your makeup obviously being in
the pageant world. Yeah, I like the best makeup artists.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
I love wearing makeup now. I used to not wear
very much at all. I just felt like my face
wasn't pretty enough to be able to wear it. After
you lose weight, there's a lot of features that come
out that you never knew you had. You know, jawbones
and cheap bones, and your eyes start opening wider, your
smile gets gets bigger. I use skin Medica and I

(55:53):
use just a good cleanser, a good toner. I do
a serum on my face at night, and I have
this little thirty dollar roller that I use on my
face that I emphasize on my jaw. I have a
lot of people that come at me and think I've
had a lot of work done in my face because
they think that just because you lose weight, you look saggy,
and you don't have to look like a California raisin,
and you don't have to have the saggy skin when

(56:15):
you lose weight if you take care of yourself and
eat proper nutrition. I just learned how to use better skincare,
and though I haven't had anything done to my face
yet or anything, I hope that I don't have to
be you know, the wrinkles are gonna come, and if
they do, they do, I'll age gracefully with them. But
I kind of found the fountain of you through through

(56:36):
good skincare and eating better. And I love just you know,
I love a light makeup. I don't like to cake
it on, but I love a dewy look, and I
love a nice blush, and I love to be able
to do my eye my eyebrows. I could have got
a lot of compliments on my eyebrows, and I don't
really wear a lot of eye makeup. I do wear
false extensions on my lashes because they make my eyes

(56:59):
look a little wider. And there's something I would never
do for myself back in the day, to take care
of myself. But some days I wear makeup, some days
I don't. But I do like to glam up some
and and be able to to to give myself a
different look most of the time in.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
The morning, ask what what question did I not ask
that you would like to share with me today?

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Oh gosh, we went over you know, kind of a
lot there. I just I think people are overcome with fear.
They overthink the impossible. And you know, I didn't have
to take to heart the the death sentence that I

(57:46):
got that day at the doctor, but I'm glad I did.
Did I think I'd look a lot different after the transformation?

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Did you think that you would ever get to this?
I mean, did you think that you were just trying
to get to a healthy place or me?

Speaker 1 (58:01):
Did you ever think you were going to be a
beauty queen?

Speaker 4 (58:04):
No? I I was always one of these that was
always picked glass. I was always one of these that
was you know, all the girls were prettier that I
was in school and stuff. And here, you know, I
was like, yeah, you know, I'm just a mom. I'm
just going to lose some weight. And then I start
seeing things progress differently. And it wasn't until the you know,
pretty much the second year of my transformation, I started

(58:26):
seeing everything change and people were saying, gosh, your skin
is so beautiful, your hair is so beautiful. You know
you you know, you're so well put together? Are you
a model? And stuff? And I was like, people are
asking me this outside in public. I'm like, this is crazy,
but you know it, you know, I never thought about
vanity reasons. Never did I think when for an instance,

(58:48):
about vanity during my journey. It was all strictly for
health and wellness. I had to be healthy and there
were so many benefits that came with me changing my
lifestyle that for trade outward. You know, I can't explain it.
I don't know how God, you know, imagine this would

(59:09):
happen for me. I never thought it would happen this way.
But I you know, I'm very grateful. I you know,
I was. You know, I could have died when I
had a stroke and I didn't. And it's like God
gave me a new lease on life and said here
it is, don't blow it. And I'm taking out of
your opportunity running with the doors that are opening wide open.

(59:35):
And I just want to be I just want to
have that legacy for my kids that, you know, when
they look like their mom, they can say, you know,
my mom went through all of this. There was a
lot of obstacles for her to overcome. You know what
my mom never gave up, and I want that to
be the legacy that they carry on with them and
their kids and their great grandkids in the years to come.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
I want to thank you so much for being here.
You're such an inspiration. I hope, I hope everyone that
listens to this today gets inspired from beauty on the
inside out and to change your life. It is never
too late. You just need to take that first step
and step forward and it'll all unravel and you know,
