About Me
"Transformation isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about shedding what no longer serves you and stepping into the fullness of who you already are."
Eva Nagy
From a young age, I resented my body and myself. Years of bullying and constant pressure to meet high expectations left me feeling like I was never enough. Becoming a professional athlete deepened these wounds. I trained relentlessly, tried every diet imaginable, and pushed myself to extremes.
Looking back now at photos from those years, I see there was nothing wrong with me.
