On adding yoga to her daily routine:

“It’s spiritual for me. I’m working out, but I’m also becoming more in tune with my body. Having more awareness about what’s going on pushes me to be in the now and to breathe, which is something I desperately needed because I’m always thinking ahead or dwelling on something that could’ve been better. I did not know I needed this time as much as I did because I was going, going, going. But now, I’m able to be more intentional and give things the proper focus they deserve.”

On positive thinking:

“Words of affirmation are new for me. I look at myself in the mirror and manifest and speak things that I want to happen as if they already did, as if I’m already that version of myself…I’ve tried to flip it and control that narrative for myself.”

Listen though… She really has flipped everything in her favor. It’s been incredible watching her growth.
