𝔽𝕠𝕔𝕦𝕤 𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕜𝕤, ℕ𝕠𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕝 Have you ever designed or watched a house, a business, or even a city built? Or a person who literally rebuilds their own life? There are tools that are used, a structured plan, & a group set forth with a goal. Then the foundation is laid. This is the starting point. Built solid. No cracks. Protected. There are potential obstacles. Nehemiah experienced such as he gathered his people to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. However, he had faith, persistence, and wisdom. He was shown favor. Same goes for us. We can hit a wall. Or we can Build a wall. The key is preparation. To lay each brick, conquering fears, and to “Create a vision of who you want to be, and then live into that picture as if it were already true.” — Arnold Schwarzenegger This I did as I told myself this year I will rebuild each brick, with steadfast perseverance. No matter the obstacles, any set backs, any illness, or strain. I knew I was unconquerable through Him who gives strength & joy. Of this I can clearly say the Process is the building, the teacher, the reward. It was a silent journey of early mornings (2:20am), coaching others, two-a-days, late nights, reps reps reps, counting every macro, recovering from shingles, discovering my tribe, and self assurance as well as passion for a sport I fell in love with over 17 years ago. I took the words of Dorian Yates, “Each workout is like a brick in a building and every time you go in there and do a half-ass workout you’re not laying a brick down. Somebody else is.” Then, after 6 years, on the 3rd, at 3pm, I presented my 60 years of an unwavering, tenacious life! The crown placed on my head represents conquering the battle of the mind. To listen to the judges critique, improve, excel, own it. While the medal around my neck & over my heart is grateful passion. More bricks to lay; For when I exited the stage, with my 1st in class victory, I asked what is next?! Follow the Pillar of Fire in my soul. Masters Nationals. In utmost gratefulness, Coach Susan 🦾⚔️❤️‍🔥🥇 #npcma

Three years away from posing practice, and today I finally came back. 🥹 I’ve caught myself thinking I’m “too old” for bodybuilding… then I walk into practice and realize I’m one of the youngest people in the room. A little reminder to question the stories I tell myself. I love the challenge, the posing, the heels, and being around athletes at every phase of their journey. Today reminded me how much I missed all of it. As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to feel like everything needs to be productive. But I’m allowed to have a hobby. To challenge myself. To do something simply because I love it. So are you. Wanting to is enough of a reason. 🤍 Thank you, Steve, for continuing to create this community in Lilburn and for coaching with such a thoughtful eye. I’m excited to keep showing up—and to work toward stepping on stage again. Want to come to posing practice with me? Let me know. ✨ #BodybuildingJourney #PosingPractice #WomenWhoLift #AtlantaFitness #BodybuildingCommunity

10 months. I committed to one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, not just to win, but to test my grit and earn a deeper respect for myself. My first show was a win before I ever stepped on stage. I worked relentlessly to build this physique, heal my relationship with food, and understand that discomfort wasn’t punishment, but part of the process of chiseling away at the old version of me. I’m proud to have put my work up for critique, and competed alongside women who share the same love and respect for this sport. I left with gratitude and humility from knowing exactly what went into the work. No one sees the work and they don’t need to. The results will speak when it’s time. I’m proud of this woman. And when it’s time to see who came hungriest— I intend to make sure the answer is always me.
