    What if the way you see yourself isn’t the way you’re meant to know yourself? For most of human history, people lived their entire lives without ever truly seeing their own face , their identity was shaped by how they felt and how they impacted others, not by a constant reflection staring back at them.

    This episode is my thank you.

    For reminding me that I wasn’t alone.

    For proving that digital can still be deeply human.

    And for turning strength training into something so much bigger than fitness.

    After beating skin cancer, I didn’t tiptoe back into life. I charged into one of the hardest programs on Tonal: House Volume 2.


    Why?

    Because I needed to prove to myself that I’m not broken. That I’m stronger because of what I’ve been through, not in spite of it.


    In this episode, I open up about:

    🔥 Choosing hard on purpose

    🔥 Why I push myself past the limit

    🔥 The coach who taught me how to meet the tough stuff head-on

    🔥 Training alongside my badass friend & the power of uplifting energy

    🔥 What resilience really looks like after cancer


    This one’s for anyone who’s walked through hell and came back lifting heavier.

    This one’s for the fighters. 💪
