    Episode 118: We ALL Start Somewhere...

    It can be so easy to get so caught up in a world of comparison where you feel like your goals are insurmountable. You feel so far away from the things you want to achieve & might even find yourself believing that you’ll never get there.But it’s why it’s so important to remember that every single person has to start somewhere & go on their own journey. Those starting points in and of themselves are also immensely special in their own way too.

    Episode 116: Why You Need to Compete Less

    Competing can become very addictive or even simply something we feel as if we 'have' to do on a regular basis once you label yourself as a competitor. But competing more frequently is often not the answer to what you actually want in your bodybuilding journey. In this episode I dive into the risks of competing too often, the issues you will encounter and WHY you might benefit in a number of different areas by competing less frequently (taking time off between preps). As always, thank you so much for listening!
