“I Was Drawn to Prime Pageants for Personal Growth and Connection.”
-Faith McCormick
Faith’s decision to join Prime Pageants was rooted in a desire for connection and self-discovery. “I was drawn to Prime Pageants because there is a huge focus on personal growth and building relationships,” Faith shares. The supportive environment offered by the Prime organization has been a perfect match for Faith, who values meeting new people and having a community that genuinely lifts each other up.
“I also love that Prime Pageants is so welcoming to women who are new to pageantry,” she says, reflecting on her experience as a first-time contestant. The warm welcome and guidance she has received from her fellow participants have made her journey both rewarding and meaningful.
The Power of Self-Care: A Journey of Accountability and Growth
Through Prime Pageants, Faith has discovered a deeper understanding of self-care, a challenge she admits to struggling with, particularly when it comes to the physical aspects. “I think I struggle with physical self-care because I find it the most time-consuming,” Faith reflects. “It’s easy to listen to a podcast in the car, but eating healthy and exercising take setting aside time.”
One of the most impactful aspects of Faith’s pageant experience has been participating in Prime’s monthly self-care challenge support group. The accountability provided by the group helped her stay focused on building healthy habits. “It was great to have accountability as I focused on building habits,” she shares.
Faith approaches self-care with intention in multiple areas of her life. Here’s how she integrates self-care into her daily routine:
– Mental self-care: Listening to music that uplifts her spirit
– Emotional self-care: Journaling her thoughts or having heart-to-heart conversations with close friends
– Physical self-care: Practicing yoga, even though it takes effort to carve out time
– Professional self-care: After leaving her teaching job, Faith has embraced the importance of working on her own terms
– Financial self-care: Focusing on building credit and making responsible financial decisions
– Social/Community self-care: Attending weekly church services to stay connected and grounded
– Spiritual self-care: Reading her Bible, finding peace and guidance through faith
– Environmental self-care: Faith finds joy in maintaining a clean home—she loves vacuuming and the satisfaction of seeing lines in the carpet!
This holistic approach to self-care has allowed Faith to take ownership of her well-being while managing the demands of family life and pageant preparation.
Platform with Purpose: Empowering Consumers for a Better Future
Beyond the glamour and glitter of pageantry, Faith’s platform is rooted in a practical and impactful cause—the consumer experience. Her passion lies in helping people make informed and responsible decisions, from the products they buy to how they dispose of them.
“I am focusing on the consumer experience from start to finish,” Faith explains. “I am particularly interested in ways to help consumers overcome barriers to responsible buying, consuming, and disposal.” Her platform work includes researching product ingredients, encouraging others to recycle, and advocating for ingredient transparency. This cause-driven approach is more than just a pageant platform for Faith—it’s a personal mission.
“For me, this will include work like researching product ingredients, encouraging others to recycle, and possibly some political activism around ingredient transparency,” she says. Faith’s commitment to educating consumers on sustainable practices and transparency aligns with her vision of creating a more conscious and informed world.
