My story

How I went from surviving to strong.

This is the honest version. Not the highlight reel.

Chapter 01

Before

I'm Jasmin Rough. I was a simple, plain housewife, taking care of my family and everything. Eight years ago I started going to the gym because I felt bored as a housewife.

At first I only went on and off. I felt fat and I had lost my confidence. The stress of life had given me depression and anxiety attacks.

Chapter 02

The no-results years

For the first one to three years I had no results, because I was still drinking and had no discipline with food.

Then I realized I wanted my lifestyle to show results. I wanted to be healthier, and working out had become my passion.

Chapter 03

The sacrifice

I stopped drinking, eating unhealthy food, and going out with friends for nightlife. I focused on my goal of becoming a coach, and even an athlete.

We really have to give things up if we want to reach the dream of who we want to be.

Chapter 04

Strong for my kids

Then came the stress and depression again, when I truly had no drive for life. But I needed to be strong for my two kids.

So I put it all into staying active: three years of running, nonstop workouts, Hyrox, mountain climbing, even boxing. Any activity, I'm on it, because I don't want to overthink the pain in life. I just come home, sleep, and still take good care of my kids.

Chapter 05

The stage

Competition prep asked for everything I had learned about discipline. My first stage was the KG Classic in 2025, where I placed 5th. In 2026 I placed 2nd in Masters at WNBF PHX in Bohol, a federation that polygraph-tests every athlete to prove they compete natural. Then I became Novice Bikini Champion at the IFBB Philippines Pure Classic in Manila.

I stood there, in front of a crowd, as the woman I had rebuilt.

Chapter 06

Now

Today I'm a coach, an athlete and a mom who stands on her own two feet. I coach women who feel the way I once did: stressed, anxious, low, or lost in taking care of everyone else.

If you're dealing with depression or anxiety, you can talk to me about it. I've been there. I don't promise a perfect body. I promise to show up for you, and to help you show up for yourself.

In my own words

For the first years I had no results, because I was still drinking and had no discipline with food. Then I realized I wanted my lifestyle to show results.

We really have to give things up if we want to reach the dream of who we want to be.
