Navigating life without hands or feet has been a journey marked by resilience and unwavering determination. Alongside these physical challenges, Vanessa has faced abuse and mental health struggles, experiences that have shaped her into a stronger, more empathetic individual.

 

In a world designed for able bodied people, she found a way to be capable. Creating lists allowed her to develop consistency, which played a vital role in building trust and commitment to herself. Developing this skill empowered many parts of her life, leading her to become a thriving individual who could achieve whatever she put her mind to.

 

She began by making her mark in the bodybuilding world, taking to the stage not once, but twice. This is what initially landed her in the motivational speaking space. Next she produced and hosted her own online series titled “Here We Go”, creating not one but two full seasons with a variety of guests and sponsors.

 

Today she is a powerhouse on social media, building a brand synonymous with leading by example, all while maintaining a playful and magnetic presence. At the core of her message is the “I got this” mantra, a powerful affirmation of self-belief and perseverance that inspires others to embrace their own journeys with confidence.
