Being able to carry my kids and give my best on stage, all while feeling confident in my body, is everything.”
She lifts
She factors weight training into her workout routine.

She prioritizes sleep

On a video on Instagram, she said “when you realize you can worry about tomorrow’s problems tomorrow.” According to the CDC, “getting enough sleep can help you get sick less often, stay at a healthy weight, reduce stress and improve your mood, improve your heart health and metabolism, [and] lower your risk of chronic conditions like.”
Confidence is key
She’s focused on building her confidence, making sure she’s feeling good mentally. “Sooooo, this was scary….. I knew doing this would terrify me and I was right! @womenshealthmag had the most lovely all-women shoot and I actually had the best time,” she said on Instagram. “I felt strong and beautiful and laughed a lot getting into some of these poses without my high waisted mom jeans and oversized whatever I normally wear. Thank you to everyone who normalized this day for me and propped me up with compliments and love.”
She’s grateful
She continues to be grateful and positive for what she has in life, keeping her mental health in a great space. “Thank you for walking with me all these years, for celebrating what was while embracing what’s becoming. I don’t know how I ended up here, but I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Truly what dreams are made of – but real,” she said on Instagram.
