EP 13: Rebuilding from the Inside Out with Damaris Rivera

In this jaw dropping episode about truly rebuilding your life
after unexpected brokenness, Nicole interviews bikini competitor
and NGA Pro, Damaris Rivera. 


Damaris opens up about being a worship leader, finally walking in
her purpose and feeling as if she was on top of the world. When
out of no where, after 21 years of a happy and functional
marriage her husband stepped out with a younger woman. She
explains deep feelings of heartbreak, depression, being unable to
eat, and most times not being able to function in the months
after. From dealing with her hair falling out and being
malnourished from not eating, she finally decided one day to do
something drastic and something for her.


She had to love herself the way GOD loved her. She began working
on her physic with a physical trainer. She quickly dove head
first into her fitness journey and within a short time decided to
compete professionally. Her excerpt about her first time stepping
on stage explains a true triumphant moment.


"When I stepped on the stage I didn't feel like a shack, I felt
like a cathedral."


She competed against women half her age and won the whole show at
NGA. She grew even further in the sport and started competing in
NPC and won 4 times. She is in the process of earning her pro
card. 


This episode isn't just about loving your body and learning to
place your energy into something else. Damaris is a true leader
in the art of forgiveness, patience, and learning to love
yourself and others the way GOD loves each of us.
