Name three music artists you’ve been listening to lately:

What is the motto or mantra you try to live your life by?
My Instagram handle is @betterthanmyyesterday and I live by this mantra.
What keeps you busy?
My amazing boys Lucas (13) & Tyler (10). When I’m not wearing my mom hat, I’m a personal trainer. If I’m not training clients, you can find me training, hiking, golfing, baking for boys and just enjoying my wonderful family and friends.
I feel confident knowing that my physical strength has bled over to my mental strength. So I'm ready to tackle any goal I set for myself.
What is your view on tattoos?
I don’t have any, but I’m not opposed to getting one.
What three clothing items can’t you live without?
My Golden Goose tennis shoes, jeans with a white tank top and workout apparel.
What is your dream job?
I’m pretty much doing it as a personal trainer. But I’d love to take my workouts to the masses with YouTube or other media platforms.
What do you do to stay in shape, or are you just a genetic freak?
I do think I’m part unicorn! [laughs] In all seriousness, I move my body every day. Dumbbells are somewhat of a love language for me, but I’m doing a lot of yoga and hiking lately too. Unfortunately, I believe the statement “you can’t out train a poor diet” is true. If you really want to be in good shape you have to make a good nutrition plan part of your lifestyle for the long haul. VIGOROUS
