“I have really been struggling for the past couple years to keep things together, both mentally and physically. I had truly lost my purpose in life and was simply going through the motions from day to day without any passion or motivation.

That simple break allowed me enough room to refocus, find myself again, and chase a dream. It felt like a fire was ignited in me again that I thought was dead.”
