There is a confidence that makes people uncomfortable. Not because it is loud, arrogant, or has anything to do with anyone else. But simply because it cannot be easily shaken.

Confidence built on self will always crack because humans are flawed. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. We all fail and fall short. We have weaknesses. We disappoint ourselves, and at some point, we disappoint other people too. That’s part of being human.

That is why confidence rooted only in appearance, achievement, approval, status, or personal strength will always be fragile. It needs constant proof. It needs constant validation. It needs the world to agree with it in order to feel secure because all of those things can and will change. Everything of this world is temporary.

But confidence rooted in faith is different.

This kind of confidence isn’t shaken by others’ opinions, setbacks, or every obstacle because its foundation was never human to begin with. It comes from knowing your worth was given freely, not earned from others or this failed and fallen world.

It does not come from needing people to understand it, approve of it, or clap for it. And when people do not understand that kind of confidence, they will often mislabel it.

One confidence must constantly prove itself.

The other simply knows the truth.

Faith-based confidence is not self-worship. It is surrender. It is knowing who created you, who strengthens you, who goes before you, and who still loves you when you fall short.

That kind of confidence does not need to be defended every time it is misunderstood.

It simply remains steadfast, trusting that true victory has never belonged to this world in the first place.

If your appearance, accomplishments, status, income, title, health, and even the people you love most were taken away tomorrow, what would your confidence be built on?

21 years ago, I was teaching Aquafit classes to this song.

This morning it came on in the gym and I couldn’t help but laugh. It immediately brought me back to a completely different season of life. Different city. Different responsibilities. Different dreams. A VERY different version of me.

It got me thinking about how much life has changed over the years and how many versions of ourselves we become along the way. Some seasons feel exciting. Some feel painful. Some feel confusing. Some feel like we’re making progress and others feel like we’re moving backwards.

Through all of it, exercise and nutrition have remained one of the few constants in my life.

Not because I’ve always been motivated. Not because I’ve always felt confident. Not because I’ve always been chasing a physique goal.

Sometimes training was about growth. Sometimes it was about stress relief. Sometimes it was about rebuilding. Sometimes it was simply one of the only things I could control when life felt heavy.

One thing I’ve learned on my 20 year weightlifting journey is that the future version of ourselves doesn’t just magically appear one day. She is built through ordinary decisions repeated over and over again, ESPECIALLY on the days we don’t feel like it.

That’s why I often encourage clients not to judge themselves too harshly based on where they are today. Today is a snapshot, not the entire story. You have to work through today before you can move into the next phase of life you’re dreaming about for yourself. You can’t hide away, you can’t complain it away, and you can’t ignore it away. You have to put in those little steps daily, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Rep after rep. Step after step. Not all at once.

The person you want to become is often being shaped long before you can see the evidence of it.

You may not be where you want to be yet, but that doesn’t mean you’re not becoming who you’re meant to become.

💬 Looking back, what’s one thing that has remained a constant through the different seasons of your life?

Thank you to my coach @seantrex. I don’t think my outcome would have been as good if it wasn’t for your coaching. You are so incredibly knowledgeable and have being dialled in down to a science. Can’t thank you enough for being there this weekend.

My posing coach @martinnabowen for your patience with me and always being my hype girl. You took me from zero figure posing experience to being not too bad in 5 months and that’s impressive!

Thank you to my @strongfitnessmag team @paulbuceta, @kimegunther, & @kevingreenestrong for coming to support. Thank you so much Paul for the backstage and stage shots. There were too many good ones to choose from to post! But some included here are my faves.

Thank you to my cover sisters @heathermcauley_fit & @arobs09 for being such encouraging friends. Heather it was an honour to grace the figure stage beside you and Amanda, you coming to support and cheer me on meant so so much to me. Love you both!

Thank you to my @teamtrextraining teammates @merityissa and @adefitness__ for being the coolest humans ever. Merity I had so much fun with you! And Ade, you were such a great help and took so many great shots backstage. I’m so glad I met you both.

Thank you @thecrystalsuit for the rockstar Barbie suit. I had so many compliments on the pink!

Thank you @bzumi from @magnumsupps for coming to support and spoil us. Magnum was a key factor in keeping me properly supplemented throughout prep and I can’t wait to have my Quattro protein ice cream 😆

Thank you to the team at @absolutetouchinc for the best tan and @meaghan_balint for making me look like a rockstar!

And last but not least thank you to my husband @toppjesse. Not a single part of any of this would have been possible without your support and encouragement. I love you beyond words and am so grateful for you.

No matter what happens at the competition, I know I absolutely gave it my all and could not have worked any harder.

In 5 months, I didn’t miss a single workout or cardio session.
I prepped through early mornings, late nights and sleepless nights. Through 7 weeks of travel including a week at an all inclusive. Through constant business demands, endless two year old toddler meltdowns and my mom in and out of the hospital with a serious health complication.

I turned my alarm off and got up when I wanted to hit snooze and strapped on 5 inch heels at 8pm for posing practice when I wanted to crawl into bed. I can’t even count how many times I chose to eat fish and veggies when I really wanted a burger and cookies.

I said I was going to do it and I’m proud of myself and what I have accomplished.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about a placing…it’s about becoming the person who does what she says she’s going to do, no matter how hard it gets.

Discipline showed up when motivation didn’t. Consistency carried me when things felt heavy.

And that version of me? She’s already won. 🏆

These photos span different seasons of my life.

Some are from around 2013, when I was at my heaviest. There’s a version of me in 2021 during one of the darkest periods of life, & then there’s this current version.

I might not be the smallest I’ve ever been right now, but I’m also not the same woman I was in my mid twenties.

There was a point where I was at my lightest & looked what most people would call my “best,” but I wasn’t healthy. I was restrictive, pushing from a punishment mindset, & it caught up to me. My energy dropped, my mood suffered, & I was run down. It wasn’t sustainable.

What changed things wasn’t perfection. It was choosing differently, over & over again.

Not one perfect run. Not one strict plan. Just breaking the patterns that kept me stuck.

There was a time where the response was self harm. Now it’s self care. Not perfectly, but enough to change the direction.

This didn’t come from more pressure or being stricter. It came from slowing down, facing hard realities, & asking for help instead of pretending I had it handled (🗣️ @sara.topp 🥹🙏🫂💕).

People think the answer is doing more, pushing harder, being more disciplined. But if the pattern underneath doesn’t change, you’ll repeat the same cycle.

Life is still going to hit. People will talk & make assumptions. Some will try to tear you down. That doesn’t decide anything for you unless you let it.

No one else decides the direction of your life.

You do.

If you’ve tried before & it didn’t work, you’re not done. You adjust & keep moving. You don’t need to prove anything. Be honest about where you are & decide where you’re going next.

You can keep blaming your past or people, waiting until it feels easier, & never take action. Or you can take ownership of your patterns & change them.

No one is coming to do that for you.

So decide what you’re doing next.

And if you need help doing that, I’m here.

Share this with a woman who needs the reminder that it doesn’t matter how many times she’s been knocked down. She still gets to stand back up. And the best part is, it’s always her choice.
