During a conversation on IMPAULSIVE with Logan Paul and others, she revealed what actually happened which made her want to bring her life on track.

“I was a little freaking. I was a little stoner. And a drunk. Of course, I’m Irish. You know, when I saw, when I was younger and I was going down a bad track. You know, just doing all things that I shouldn’t. I was failing P.E. How does anybody fail P.E.?… made my mom cry. All those bad things. Then, I was like ‘you know, I got to get my life in order’.”

Once she realized it was time to make a massive change to her lifestyle, her first focus was fitness. But, she didn’t want to go about it the conventional way and join a gym. She had something else in mind – wrestling.
