256: Know Your Why, Commit to a Positive Mental Diet, and Refuse to Quit with Janine Herrera

You might think that significant life changes like divorce and going from being a stay-at-home mom to an ICU nurse, nurse practitioner, and a student would flip your life upside down, but not Janine Herrera. Janine stumbled into the world of bodybuilding shortly after her divorce as a way to focus on herself, rebuild her identity, and challenge herself. Janine turned pro at her third show, where she earned two pro cards, and has since won three pro shows. Janine is now thriving in all aspects of her life and hopes to inspire other moms, especially single moms, on their journey through life. I know you'll be inspired by her story as she opens up about how her divorce affected her family and how she is able to prioritize her children over everything else in her life.
