Achieving confidence by building muscle and strength
Hey girlie, I’m Folakemi 😊 and thank you for stopping by at my little corner of the internet. Over here, I share powerlifting, wellness and skincare content. This blog, Confidence Through Fitness, started in 2016 to document my fitness journey. During that time, I was in my first year of grad school at IHEID in Switzerland and needed a creative outlet. Thus, this space was born.
Over the years, this space has evolved from solely sharing my fitness journey to sharing my powerlifting journey, wellness and travel and skincare for lifters.
As a result, Confidence Through Fitness has become more than a creative outlet. It has become a place where fitness and the other adventures in my life converge. Lifting helped me overcome my confidence and low self-esteem issues. It taught me to embrace what my body does for me and not what it looks like. Through that, my confidence has soared in other areas of my life.
Through this space, I want to help you to find your confidence through fitness, health and wellness. Fitness is for everyone and we all deserve to be confident in it.
I share powerlifting, wellness and recovery tips, and skincare for lifters content on my Instagram. On Pinterest, I share strength workouts, how-to tutorials for beginners and women and skincare content. I began creating short-form video content in 2021 which has been a breath of fresh air lately. Long-form video content is my next challenge. I want to help women build a sustainable lifestyle through confidence, wellness and fitness. In sum, I hope that you stick around, explore my world and while you’re here subscribe to never miss a post!
I’d love to hear from you so please don’t be afraid to reach out!
