THIS IS MY WHY - EMY

I’ve always loved being active. When I was younger, I played tons of sports — cross-country, cheerleading, football, soccer...
But in high school, I went through a really tough time. A deep depression made me stop all sports completely.

At 15, I started going to the gym to gain weight. I had always been extremely thin (just 75 lbs), and I simply wanted to feel better — to feel beautiful in my own skin.
I never stopped. Today, I’m 19, and a year ago I discovered powerlifting. I needed more — a bigger challenge — and I missed the feeling of competition.

I fell in love with it. Feeling strong, beautiful, powerful, and confident in my body — it's everything.
And now… in just one month, I’ll be competing at the World Championships 🥹

I never thought this would be possible. But it is. And I know others can do it too.
If I did it, you can too.
