Ashlyn goes in depth about her exciting journey, qualifying for the 2020 Olympia! She provides details on her various placings, feedback received from judges, and other realistic show day experiences.
Ashlyn shares her positive experiences working with Jamie Bernard of FitBody Fusion, and expresses how her life has changed since joining the team. She goes on to talk about how Jamie’s mentorship has been a springboard for Ashlyn to influence and inspire athletes of her own. Celeste asks essential questions about show day presentation, and how to find and perfect show day polish.
The pair discuss Ashlyn’s podcast, The Center Stage, which she co-hosts with fellow IFBB Professional Beatriz Biscaia. They go on to talk through the importance of showing up for yourself, defining factors between those who turn pro and those who do not, and how the ultimate goal for bikini athletes is not a trophy or placing - but rather to persist, improve and bring your personal best each and every time.
