Exploring my gut pain led me to my purpose and inner peace. I shifted the narrative of my life from victim to victor, becoming an advocate for myself. Now I inspire others to wave the checkered flag in their lives by sharing my struggle with food allergies and fitting in; stomach bloat, IBS, and my scrambled mental health. Every day I commit myself to defeating physical pain, anxiety, and toxic habits by policing my thoughts. I manage my mindset and work to master my human condition by building a relationship, first with myself, through fitness and bikini competitions, martial arts, married pageantry, serving my community, loving my husband and family, and leading by faith.
