Yes- after a six year break, I returned to the competitive bodybuilding stage as promised to myself.

Wow- what a rollercoaster of emotions leading up to The Natural Olympia, during the energy charged 4 day event, and post Olympia reflections.

While we all set intentions and goals, life and challenges are always bound to get in the way. It’s how you approach those challenges, with acceptance, yet resilience, adaptability and unwavering commitment that one meets that final goal irrespective of the journey getting there.

It’s easy and even accurate for me to cite knee and foot surgeries, coaching other athletes, promoting a big show, becoming a first time grandmother, planning my daughter’s wedding, as limiting my own training and prep for a return to the stage this year, but at the end of the day, they are part of life and what make this comeback that much sweeter and more meaningful!

Bringing home 2 Gold and 1 Silver medals to add to our Team USA count was wonderful, and the feeling on stage holding our flag while the National Anthem played is indescribable!

Thank you to all of those who played a huge part in making this a reality- especially .scopinaro and your knowledge, guidance, and support mean the world to me ❤️🙏
Thank you to the Kakos family for fostering the .official INBA GLOBAL FAMILY, providing a worldwide platform on which to shine on stage and everlasting new and long time friendships with athletes far beyond this one of a kind 4 day show.
Let’s keep on Dreaming Bigger!
See you all next year!

❣️I am truly touched by all the posts and tags to INBA PNBA TEXAS and .ms.usa
expressing gratitude, excitement, encouragement and sparking the seed to dream even bigger.
🎯It’s all about the lives we transform, change, make a little better.
🥇There is nothing like the adrenaline that fuels an athlete through competition day, the lows that turn into highs; the doubts that dissipate once on stage; the camaraderie backstage and the lifelong memories and new friendships that go far beyond that fleeting moment in front of the judges.
💫There is nothing like the feeling of being able to facilitate and provide a platform and opportunity for athletes from which to shine, transform and dream bigger with renewed goals ahead.
✨That is MY job as a promotor; and in order to do it well it takes a village of sponsors, City of Allen, Fairview Town Center, donors, and vendors who believe in the cause and believe in that promoter.

⚡️Without YOU I would not be able to provide this opportunity for the competitors, or for all the local spectators to be inspired by the athlete’s stories, courage and transformations, or for our local businesses to showcase their services and healthy lifestyle products.
🙏It takes a tight knit team of judges, our Head Judges, expeditors, and our incredible staff of volunteers who give selflessly to make this show the golden standard around the country!
🌟Thank you to Denny and Diana Kakos for trusting me to represent the INBA PNBA
in Texas and one of the roads that lead to The Natural Olympia.
💥The most heartfelt Thank You to my better half Gregory Steiner for allowing me the space to obsess over the show for the past 6 months… you are the REAL MVP making it all possible!
💯 Every little detail makes a difference and THIS SHOW is all about those details; fueled by passion, and changing lives!
I believe 2025 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! ❤️🤍💙
Help ME Dream Bigger in doubling our show in 2026! ❗️The date is set❗️
