How MAKE Helped Me Find Myself Again - From Exhausted Trainer to Stronger, Calmer, Happier Mom
I’ve been a trainer for more than 18 years. I know how to eat, how to train, how to program workouts for all kinds of bodies. Fitness has been my life - the identity I built everything around.
But after four pregnancies in my 30s, two heartbreaking losses, and years of pushing through pain and exhaustion, my body stopped responding the way it used to. I hit plateaus I couldn’t break. I was tired all the time, emotionally eating when life got stressful, and staring at a reflection in the mirror that didn’t feel like me anymore.
On top of that, being an athlete most of my life left me with battle scars I couldn’t lift the way I used to. I couldn’t run the way I loved. It felt like my body was betraying me.
Finding MAKE was like being handed a flashlight in a dark room.
FIT was the first game-changer. It helped me reclaim the athleticism I thought I’d lost. The results weren’t overnight, but they were steady and unmistakable. I started getting stronger again. My joints felt better. Recovery between workouts improved. I was able to push harder without fear of being sidelined the next day. For someone who had accepted “this is just how it will be now,” that was revolutionary.
CALM became my lifeline. I’ve battled daily stress management and anxious feelings for years; especially after pregnancies and loss. CALM helped smooth the chaos. I noticed more restful nights. I felt less reactive, more present with my kids, and more emotionally steady on the hard days. When daily stress threatened to take over, I could feel the edge soften.
Here’s what changed for me:
- Weight & Energy: I finally started to notice changes in my body and the way my clothes were fitting. My energy felt real and sustainable, not the crash-and-burn kind from sugar or caffeine.
- Strength & Performance: I could lift more, move with confidence, and even run again. I’ll never erase all the wear-and-tear, but I’m performing and recovering better than I have in years.
- Joints & Recovery: With my history, even small improvements felt huge. But what I’ve experienced has been life-giving; workouts no longer mean days of discomfort and dread.
Today, I feel like me again; stronger, calmer, happier. Not perfect. Not pain-free. But present. Grateful. And equipped to keep showing up for my family, my clients, and myself.
MAKE didn’t just give me better products. It gave me back my confidence, my resilience, and my spark.
