If you struggle with body dysmorphia (like I do), try this:

Take photos/videos and don’t look at them for a week.

Then go back and look and you’ll probably laugh at yourself for ever thinking you looked “bad.”

Your mind will play tricks on you, especially when you’re constantly checking, comparing, and chasing a goal.

Some days you’ll feel off. That doesn’t mean you actually look off.

This was me a few days ago. I thought I looked horrible. Felt weak and just off.

Now I’m like… what was I even talking about lol I’m pretty sure this is the leanest I’ve been in YEARS…

Sometimes we just need to just take a step back. Don’t obsessed over the bad days. Just move forward.

Quads:
Sore from this one

Smith machine back squat : 4x8-10 heavy
Bulgarian split squats: 3x6 each heavy
Leg extension: 3x8-10 heavy
Heel elevated goblet squat: 2x15 moderate weight

Life this past week :

-Celebrated 2 years with Dylan 🤍
And 2 years since we got Donnie (our fur baby)

-started Hyrox training 😳

-And started working very hard to change my mentality and routine, seasonal depression HIT ME bad this year. Working on controlling what I can bc the cold isn’t going anywhere unless I move lol
Here’s what I’m doing:

1. Stabilizers : when all is going “wrong” stabilizers are easy things you still get done and it keeps you somewhat grounded
For me that’s drinking 60oz of water before 12pm and makeup, hair or outfit -look good, feel good, play good… right? lol

2. Daily admin block: 2 hours of uninterrupted time. Anything that contributes to growing my business. I even put a timer on i feel that helps keep me more focused and on track.

3. Google calendar EVERYTHING: this is the one thing i need to get better with. I have a list of things to do but im great at wasting time. Placing what you need to do in times slots throughout you day will help manage time better.

3. Nightly check in: check in with myself to make sure i checked everything off my list, and make a to do list for the next day.

4. If my day didn’t go perfectly as planned I’m learning not to punish myself for it. I always tell my clients “consistency over perfection” if there is an off day just get back into the next day. I practice what I preach in the gym… working on it with the rest of my life.

Everyone is wired differently and I have so much i want to do but struggle to get things done bc im thinking about everything that needs to be done at once.
Im just learning that i thrive on having a plan, a routine and consistency.

Lots of activities this past week

Leg day:

V-squat
RDL
Bulgarian split squat
Back extension
Cable kickbacks

Consistency > perfection.

(I’ll be honest I can’t believe I’m even posting the second picture. I remember I had ZERO confidence there)

One year apart.
The difference? I kept showing up.
Same person. Different mindset.

I’ve had off weeks. Missed workouts. Life chaos.

I don’t punish myself anymore.
I reset. I get back to it.

That’s how real progress is made !!

If you’re ready for real structure, guidance, and accountability
I’m taking on a few new online training clients.

DM “TRAIN” to get started.

Some of this weeks fuel

Just a camera roll full of bathroom selfies

More from Venice

Make it a lifestyle

Two years apart.

So, what’s changed?

Happiness and confidence. 🙂

Was I in one of the leanest phases of my life back then? Yes.
Did I enjoy it at the time? Yes.
Did I feel truly happy and confident? Not really.

I got that tiny before I even considered prepping for a bodybuilding show. Looking back, I remember feeling anxious all the time—but I didn’t realize it then. That was my normal. I wouldn’t eat until 2-3 PM, not because want to, I wasn’t hungry. The thought of food before then made me nauseous. I understand now—it was anxiety.

I was training with intensity almost every single day, so of course, I got super lean. But I wasn’t truly confident in myself—I was just chasing a version of me I thought I had to be.

Over the past year, I’ve dedicated my life to what makes me happy. The moment I realized that my happiness and confidence mattered most, everything changed for the better!

I appreciate the little things more. I do what makes me feel good—even if that means not being a 100% bodybuilding health freak. I’ve faced fears, traveled, and checked things off my bucket list. I’ve built confidence in who I am, not just how I look. And because of that, I feel like truly living.

Now, is this exactly how I want to look? No.
But do I feel happier and more confident than ever? Yes, and that’s what matters.

During prep, My coach taught me so much about nutrition and how important it is alongside training. Now, I’m fully committed to my goals again—except this time, with a little more food and fun!!

And because I’ve put myself first, I can now dedicate 100% to my clients. Helping others find their own happiness and confidence is what I love, and I’m finally in a place where I can give them my all.

Focus on health, happiness, confidence, and do what feels right for you. The good things will follow. ❤️
