This week on Empower Her Plate, we're diving into the power of focus—because where your focus goes, your life follows. And if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or constantly second-guessing yourself… it's time to take a hard look at where your attention's really going.

I open up about my recent bikini competition, and the moment I lost focus—standing backstage, watching other girls, questioning if they were better than me, trying to match how they warmed up… basically, doing everything but focusing on what I needed. I let comparison sneak in. I stopped trusting myself. And it showed. I went out for pre-judging distracted, disconnected, and not at all in my power.

But then I remembered: this is my journey. I went back to my room, regrouped, and refocused. I meditated. I tuned back into me. And when I stepped back on stage for finals, I owned it—and moved from fourth or fifth place to second. Because when we focus within, we tap into our true power.

This episode is about:
The silent damage comparison can do
How people-pleasing keeps us stuck living someone else's life
Why your focus determines your results
And how powerful things start to unfold the moment you bring it back to you

If you're constantly scanning the world for how you "should" live, "should" show up, or "should" look—you're playing by outside standards, not your own. And that's the fastest way to lose yourself.

✨ I leave you with a journaling exercise to help you bring clarity to your own life:
Where in your life right now have you started focusing outside too much?
Where have you let the external become your standard—rather than the one you set for yourself?

This is the episode to pause, reflect, and get your focus back.
