In 2018, the incredible CrossFit Media team met with me to film the first of several mini documentaries about my journey. Sharing even a snippet of my story was a blessing, but what I didn’t anticipate was how profoundly it would change my life. The experience not only opened doors but also gave me the chance to inspire others in ways I never imagined.

Getting my CrossFit Level 1 was just the beginning of an incredible journey. Before I even stepped into a CrossFit gym, I spent years in therapy, learning to forgive and move forward. It's about about transforming my life and helping others do the same. Sharing this journey has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
