🗣️#MentalHealth Awareness Month may be over, but the conversation needs to continue!

👉🏽For years, I struggled with the stigma of mental illness. Denial and the myth that depression was a weakness kept me from seeking help.

✅The truth? It's not a moral failing, but a medical condition that affects millions, regardless of background or belief.

I wasn't a bad person trying to be good, I was a sick person trying to get well.🕊️

📲If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988.

#MentalHealth and My Career: An Unforeseen Journey

Filled with immense gratitude, I shared my career path at #Boston Latin School today.

During my presentation, I chose to reveal a deeply personal aspect of my journey. While at BLS, I grappled with untreated clinical depression. At the time, I remained unaware of how it impacted my studies, self-worth, and physical health. By sharing my experience openly, I aimed to break down the stigma surrounding mental illness and encourage seeking help.

🙏🏽Thinking of Nick today, a longtime client, friend, and incredible mentor.

💝Alzheimer's may have taken him from us a few years back, but his spirit and inspiration live on.

🗣️Here he is absolutely crushing my "SPARTA Squat" (a variation of the single-arm overhead squat) - a true testament to his strength and dedication.

I can't help but smile knowing Nick's probably up there in heaven right now, rocking some bicep curls 💪🏾with the angels🪽

📣Who says you can't build muscle after 50? It's a myth!!!

💪🏾Strength training is the kryptonite of sarcopenia (muscle loss as we age).

📌My online rockSTAR client is crushing her #fitness goals and proving age is just a number. She just achieved her year-long transformation! She shed 9lbs of fat and gained 3lbs of muscle.

💫Now, she's getting stronger, staying active, and feeling fantastic – all thanks to the power of strength training!

🎯No matter your age or ability, YOU can get moving!

🇺🇦Thinking of all of my Ukrainian friends, volunteers I met from around the world, and the heroes on the front lines.

✈️Since 2022, I've volunteered on four humanitarian trips across Ukraine, from Przemsyl Poland then to Lviv, Kyiv and Kherson, most recently in March 2024.

I will continue to be a voice for Ukraine's strength and beauty, reminding the world of the ongoing need for support across the country. 🕊️
