In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Faustino.
Our story goes back to 2018, when she first came to train with me at my very first studio. It was a Saturday morning, and she showed up in full glam- full makeup, ready to go. Later, she admitted she had been following me on Instagram for years, and meeting me felt like meeting a celebrity, which still makes me laugh. We trained for few years but then 2020 came.
Jen threw herself into work, putting herself last. She gained a massive amount of weight, struggled with severe back pain, exhaustion, and ended up needing back surgery. At one point, she could barely walk.
At her lowest, she realized she had no choice but to change.
She started working with her doctor, cleaned up her nutrition, lost weight, and on her doctor’s advice- came back to lifting with me and BBM.
Now, she trains live three to four times a week and, more importantly, has made herself a true priority for the first time in her life.
We also talk about her volunteer work at a home for the terminally ill and how that experience gives her daily perspective on what really matters.
One of the most emotional parts of this conversation is when Jen talks about the role I played in her comeback and how having the right support and community can pull out the best in you when you feel like you have nothing left.
This episode is about taking ownership of your life, no matter how far off track you’ve gone, and proving to yourself that it’s never too late.
Jen also shares a powerful message for anyone who doubts themselves: if you think you can’t do it- you absolutely can.
