From the birth of NECXUS right up until the birth of her new journey, singer and songwriter @leighpmusic has been our most favoured and consistent client and it brought me immense joy and tears to have been a part of what I can only describe as our biggest collaboration yet!

Ladies and gents, the photos don't even begin to explain how I spent most of this day trying not to cry.

From NECXUS to Leigh: Congratulations Mrs. Browne! ✨🎉. We wish you and your husband an amazing and beautiful journey into your new life!

As exciting as weddings are it’s a longgggg day ahead 👰🏽‍♀️🤵🏾‍♂️so we wanted our bridal party to be as comfy as possible before the ceremony.

We also wanted this experience to feel more like a lime from the start 🥂All of our people can get ready in one location and hang out, while still honoring the tradition that the bride and groom don’t see each other before the ceremony. Our bridal party was also mixed male and female on each side, so we needed enough space to split the rooms in each of our sections. Traditional but non traditional, separate but together, yall know the vibes lol.

Lancewell House was the perfect space where all of this was possible. I hosted brunch for all of our friends upstairs and once Ev arrived team groom went downstairs (with his plate 😅) while team bride got ready upstairs.

A bit of a long one, so buckle up... 🫣

If the cards had aligned right, yesterday I would have made my bodybuilding debut... However, the universe had other plans, and that debut took place 3 weeks ago, on August 15. 🏆✨ But before we get there, let's backtrack a little.

In September last year, I had the crazy idea of doing a show. After years of saying “hell no,” I finally asked myself, why not? And today, I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

The original plan was a 16-week prep. Then that show was cancelled, and the question became, “How do you feel about doing Nationals?” My immediate thought, and very much my words, were: “Why are you asking? That was not the plan!” 😂

But after very little convincing, I decided to go for it.

16 weeks became 12, and the journey officially began in late May.

What did those 12 weeks look like? Countless meals, gallons of water and energy drinks. Heavy lifts. Several mornings and evenings on the treadmill. Tears (yup, we had a few of those). Doubts. Wins. And a whole lot of discipline.

From May to August, this prep tested me in every way:

- Training: New splits, heavier weights, and cardio that pushed me well past fatigue.

- Nutrition: Weeks of chicken, beef, sweet potatoes, carb cuts, and the discipline to stick to the plan even when I really wanted to quit.

- Mindset: Going from “Can I do this?” to “I will do this!"

There were days of brain fog, misery, frustration with the scale and moments when I questioned what the hell I had gotten myself into 😂. But there were also breakthroughs, growing confidence in my posing, and constant reminders that mindset really is everything.

And then, on August 15, I stepped out and did it.
I overcame my fear of being on stage, stood there and did my thing!

If you know my job and the season of work I was in during this prep, you know this was no easy feat. But I did it. And now that it’s behind me, I know I can do ANYTHING I put my mind to. I feel #unstoppable and immensely proud of myself! ❤️

But this journey was not completed on my own, so now I turn my focus to the people who made it possible.
