Wendy Cohen found herself at a crossroad following a divorce and the devastating loss of her home to a fire.
"I really blamed myself, because I was dedicating my life to our family and our children," she says.
Cohen sought solace in therapy and discovered a newfound passion for bodybuilding.
"It really lit that fire in me, because I would look in the mirror and really liked what I saw," she says.
Cohen's journey is not just about personal achievement, but also about leaving a legacy for her children. She hopes to instill in them the values of resilience, authenticity and pursing one's passion. She reminds us that strength knows no boundaries.
