Aloha!
Moani here, the founder of SO GOOD. I want to share with you my personal journey towards finding a healthier and more positive relationship with fitness, self-image, and well-being—how I learned to LIVE SO GOOD! From a young age, I was drawn to an active lifestyle. Whether it was playing soccer, paddling, or being part of a dance team, movement was my passion. However, as I ventured into the modeling industry at just 10 years old, the pressure to look my best began to take hold.
At 16, I discovered weight training and group fitness, but consistency was a challenge. Throughout my 20's, I experimented with various workouts but struggled to find something that truly stuck. It wasn't until 2014 when I won Miss Hawaii USA that I realized the extent of the pressure to maintain a certain weight and appearance.
Yoyo dieting, restrictions, and working out became more about meeting external expectations rather than genuinely enjoying the process or nourishing my body. I believed I had to fit into a specific mold to be considered okay. However, when I turned 30 in 2021, the negative side effects of my disordered eating habits began to take their toll. I reached a breaking point and knew I needed to make a change. Sadly, this struggle is all too common among women in the modeling industry, and it's crucial to shed light on this issue.It was during this transformative period that I found solace in becoming a member at Burn. Surrounded by supportive friends and the Burn Community, I felt encouraged to do better and show up for myself. The decision to become a trainer at Burn was a pivotal moment that propelled me to delve deeper into the world of fitness.
Fast forward three years, and I can confidently say that I have arrived at a better place—a place of self-acceptance, self-love, and strength.
