From fitness model to mental health advocate: my raw and honest journey through depression, social media perfection, and finding true purpose.

In this deeply personal video for The Hike With Mike Foundation, I reveal how the pressure to maintain a "perfect" image nearly destroyed me, and how I transformed that struggle into a mission to help others.

Learn about:

🔸 The reality behind social media perfection

🔹 Breaking free from mental health stigma

🔸 Finding the right person to talk to

🔹 The power of authentic connection

🔸 Transforming pain into purpose

If you're struggling with mental health or feeling trapped by social media's highlight reel, this video offers hope, practical advice, and a reminder that you're not alone.

Join me as I share my journey from the fitness industry to founding The Prime Life Project, helping others navigate their mental health journey.
