POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

My second pro show is officially in the books!— and honestly, that feels so damn good to say.
I brought my best package to date. I stepped on that stage with something I was genuinely proud of. I didn’t walk off thinking “if only…” — I walked off on cloud nine because I knew I showed up.

…And then the results came in.
14th out of 38. Almost not placing at all.

Can I be honest? I wasn’t happy about it. Not one bit. I needed time to process it because I knew a simple posing mistake on my end could’ve changed everything. Posing matters. You can have the best physique, but if you don’t present it right, the judges can’t see it — and that frustrated me.

On top of that, this sport is hard. Emotionally, mentally, physically. I kept thinking about everything I sacrificed:
My body (thank you God for letting it carry me through this), my social time, work flexibility, the gatherings I skipped, the FOMO, the moments I isolated so I wouldn’t break discipline. All of it… for a dream that feels bigger than me, but still within reach.

And I’m not ashamed of that. I took a risk on myself. What’s life without that?

For most of my life, I wondered what my purpose was. I poured into people and places that didn’t pour back. I thought my value lived in others. Then bodybuilding found me — and everything shifted.

So yes, even with the placement… I DID THAT.
The stage is mine. I’m built for this. And I’m only going to get better!

I’m walking away from this show with joy, purpose, and so much love — from my family, my friends, my coach, and everyone who supports me. That means everything. I’m not alone in this. And I’m definitely not done.

Thank you @timgardnerproductions for a great show!
Thank you to my coach for believing in me from day one. @thenotoriousjustindees
To my friends and family who watched the livestream and cheered me on.
To my posing coaches who bring out my style and sass — we’re just getting started. @kj_centerstage
To my sponsor for helping me stay healthy and strong through prep. @revpeptideco
And to everyone who reached out, showed love, or came up to me in Fort Lauderdale… you made this experience even more special.

On to the next.

💕✨WHEN MUSCLE MEETS BEAUTY 💕💪🏾

Growing up. I knew my build and physique was different than most of the girls my age but, I didn’t know how to comprehend that at the time. Instead, I felt insecure about my broad shoulders, my glutes being bigger (at the time skinny and thigh gaps were a trend) and I naturally already had a toned muscle development for my age. For a long time it was challenging finding my confidence, where I fit in , meeting other girls who could relate, what my my talents were and passions in my life. Just like many others. I had to find myself and figure out who I am as a person and what was I going to do for the rest of my life. I knew I wanted to be in the fitness realm so, over time I surrounded myself with people who matched my energy and mindset.
It gave me a sense of belonging, direction, and goals. Fast forward to now.. I’m the most confident I’ve ever been and feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. I found my niche in fitness. I became a professional bodybuilder, grew into a fitness influencer to help inspire and push people to be their greatest, and a personal trainer. I absolutely love what I do, I love who I became, and I am extremely thankful of the people who saw potential in me before I could. To those in my life now who believe in me and encouraged me to endure the challenges I faced and would face through in life. Whatever passions you have, make it a lifelong happiness. Be confident and understand that you are going to do great things 🔥💕

I thank myself for not giving up on ME.

WEEKEND FLASHBACK 🫶🏾🎇🎉

Last week made it to the books. I did so much in a span of three days. First, I was flown out to Dallas for an interview! Possible career changes in the works! During that time. I got to spend time with my mother and little sister! I missed them so much and can’t wait to visit again next month. Love you mom and baby sister 🫶🏾😭
Hour later, I flew back to Vegas just to leave again in those next few hours, to go celebrate my birthday with my twin! @xjackiecooley in California. We wanted to do something different and tap into our childhood again. We decided Lego land was it! 👷🏽‍♀️👷‍♂️🧱 so much fun and what a memorable time!
Im soo thankful for my life and the life I’m going to live. Thank you to my family and friends that wished me a happy birthday. 🎂 by @gymbarbie___

Shout out to my place of work for setting up an early birthday (bday next month) dinner at Wakuda! For me! What an experience and the service was phenomenal. The food was TOP TIER in quality and in taste. The ambience was a sexy and made you feel like you really were in a different world.
Thank you to the staff at Wakuda! 🫶🏾✨ I will be back!
The night was still young so, definitely took advantage of roaming the strip and stopping by ‘Colors of Mexico’ inside fashion show.
Ended the night with my friend and I unwinding at my place, before responsibilities came knocking the next day 🎬 🍹 by @gymbarbie___

LIFE A LITTLE SOFTER 🤍🧖🏾‍♀️🌸🕊️🌻

A little softer. A little freer. A little more at peace.

These past few months reminded me that life is meant to be lived too, not just scheduled. I spent so much time proving to myself how far I could push, accomplish, and do… until I realized I was tired and needed to slow down for a bit.

Before I went on stage this past November, I told myself that I would have certain goals and items on my checklist completed before the end of the year. I knew I needed a break after this show because I had pushed myself harder than ever before. I wanted to bring a new package — and I did — but mentally, I was drained and tired af lol. I’m not even going to lie… there were so many moments where I wanted to quit and kept asking myself “whyyy?!” 😩

I’ve been competing without breaks for three years now, living such a strict lifestyle that I honestly didn’t know any other way. I was afraid to lose momentum. Afraid to slow down because I thought I would let down the people supporting me. I kept feeling like I had to do more and more.

Instead, I fought against my ego and listened to myself.

I’m very proud of myself for not allowing temporary feelings to get in the way of my personal goals. I completed that mission. Now it’s onto the next.

I’m still training. Still growing. Still coming back stronger. But I’m also learning that rest, happiness, balance, and actually enjoying life are important too. I’m finally accepting that it’s okay to be on this much-needed journey and that it’s okay to not want to “be on” all the time. My body is thanking me in the best way possible.

I haven’t felt peace in a very long time… this is nice 😊🤍 by @gymbarbie___
