I come from the school of being (stereotyped) since I was five years old. And I know that I should not be putting my personal issues on the table or letting them effect my work.

You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire.

I felt the calling to adopt. You just know in the deepest part of your being that you are meant to find this little soul and guide them through life.

Visualize what you want out of life and think big. Don’t feel undeserving. We're all deserving of living our dreams—some of us realize it and some don't. You’re not doing anyone any favors by living small. Embrace these truths and step up. The world is waiting.

For years, I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru, because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me, it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.

If you fail to plan, you pretty much plan to fail.

Let's just say I believe in healthy love.
