Life Hit Hard This Week… But I Still Showed Up | Road to 50 Eps 7 (Emotional Build Week + Leg Day)

This episode of my Road to 50 series is one of the most emotional and raw updates yet.
I share a difficult week that tested me deeply — from traveling, fasting for my colonoscopy, and taking time off training, to experiencing heartbreaking loss and still finding the strength to keep showing up for myself and my goals.
Even in grief and chaos, I stayed true to my commitment. This episode includes my final build phase check-ins, emotional reflections, and a powerful leg day workout where I hit a personal record (PR) before starting my cut.
If you’ve ever gone through a week where life hit hard and you didn’t know how to keep going — this one’s for you.
