Christmas 2021 -> today. Just a reminder that transformations are about changing habits for months and years not white-knuckling your way through a 6 week challenge. If you’re getting ready for a New Year’s resolution to improve your body comp, DM me about creating those habits so we can build something that you can use to forge the best version of you 💪

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄❤️🎄

I’m obsessed with these machines! I guess it’s time to move to Vegas. 😂

Want to look and feel different but feeling overwhelmed with all the information out there? These three habits done day after day for the past few years has been the anchor for our transformation.

Still trying to find the words for this one.

My first show is officially in the books and 2nd place in Novice! I truly could not have gotten to that stage alone.

To my husband: @projectforgehq
My coach, my biggest supporter, and the person who has been beside me through every high, low, meltdown, check in, workout, and everything in between. You believed in me on the days I struggled to believe in myself. We did this together, and I will never be able to thank you enough.

To my daughter:
You may not fully understand what Mom was working so hard for all these months, but you were one of the biggest reasons I kept going. I hope watching me chase something that scared me, work hard for it, and see it through teaches you that you can do hard things too. More than anything, I hope you grow up knowing that you are capable of anything you decide to go after. I hope I always make you proud, because being your mom will forever be the thing I’m most proud of.

To my posing coach: @alliewaddell
Thank you for helping me find a confidence in myself I didn’t know I had. For pushing me outside of my comfort zone and helping me learn how to actually OWN the work we put in when I stepped on that stage.

And to every person who checked in on me, encouraged me, hyped me up, listened to me talk about prep for the millionth time, or simply reminded me that I could do this, thank you.

This prep changed me in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with my physique.

I’m proud of the package I brought, but I’m even more proud of the person who walked off that stage.

First show down. And I have a feeling we’re just getting started! taken in Las Vegas, Nevada by @projectforgehq

Forging my physique gave me a sense of mission and purpose when I had tried and failed to be someone I wanted 20 other ways. So, am I reasonable, measured, and relatable in my approach to fitness? No. Not at all. I’m all in—this is my mission.

Most people don’t relate to this level of fixation. If you do, and you want to dive deep into exactly how to do this, I’m looking for you. Drop a comment a or shoot me a DM. Let’s forge 💪🔥⚒️🧱 #ProjectForge #bodybuilding #transformation #mensmentalhealth by @projectforgehq

That guy on left was trapped. Living through yo-yo diet hell—lose 40 lbs, regain 50, repeat—multiple years in a row. But, I finally got out and forged a version of myself I wouldn’t have believed was possible.

Want to know how I did it? Leave a comment, shoot me a DM, and stay tuned—big things are coming ⚒️🔥🧱 #transformation #ProjectForge by @projectforgehq

About 15 weeks out from show #1!

The best part about this process isn’t just the physical changes. It’s the mental growth.

Every day I’m learning to be more disciplined, more patient, and more resilient. I’m showing up even when I don’t feel like it, trusting the process, and proving to myself that I can do hard things.
