Q: Please tell us a bit about you and how many children you have?
I am a mother, of course! I have one son, and he’s my whole world. I grew up always wanting to be a mommy, and when I became one, it wasn’t exactly ideal, but I am happy that life has blessed me with a beautiful child.
Q: You have conquered many battles in life, including battling PTSD, anxiety, and depression. And since then, have dedicated time to empowering others. What advice do you have for new mothers dealing with some of these same issues, especially today in the era of COVID and uncertainty?
Being kind to yourself in a time when you can lose yourself and also feel overwhelmed with all the changes is the best advice I can give. I have had to work very hard on myself and the things that would affect my life. I have struggled, sometimes couldn’t get out of bed some days with the emotional and mental battles. I have overcome so much and know that I have much more to do, but one thing I do know is that finding good support will help you along your way. Also, try and get as much rest as you can, especially when one is a new mommy!
Q: What advice do you have for single mothers who are not sure how to improve their situations?
I think you should look at yourself in the mirror and then ask yourself what you want? Do you want your kids to be proud of you? Do they help inspire and motivate you? If any of these questions have any meaning to you, then you will find a way. The path is a long one, so don’t worry about starting too late, start today.
Q: How much of an impact do fitness and healthy living have on overall wellbeing and anxiety or depression?
It is the essence of my health and who I am. It is one of the most challenging things to stay consistent with, but when it’s working, it brings incredible energy, and I feel so much better. It all comes down to the choices you make; it comes down to the ability to make things work in your life. Find that little bit of happiness every day.
