    Episode 112: How to EMBRACE Growing Phases

    Growing phases can be extremely hard to handle, not just physically... but mentally over anything else. Especially as a female when there is so much narrative around being 'smaller', it feels backwards to chase doing the opposite. But it's ultimately such a wonderful and important process to embrace - to not only make amazing progress - but to fully embrace being the best version of yourself (not the smallest version of yourself) So here's some of my advice on how to do this ❤️ If you enjoyed the episode, please make sure to give the podcast a 5 Star Rating ⭐️  Message me about your goals here: https://wa.link/q50uty Coaching Enquiries: https://form.typeform.com/to/iZ9zMXjK NBW Clothing (Code LOZ): https://nbwclothing.com/ Join the Natural Bodybuilding Worldwide Community today: https://naturalbbworldwide.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loz.v/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/@loz.vickers Shop for ALL of your Supplements over at Pitstop Nutrition, Code ‘LOZ10’:  https://pitstopnutrition.co.uk?sca_ref=9492715.ne77awIvi8bNpx

    We are approaching that lovely time of year again where lots of people are heading off on their travels... and it made me realise how much I needed to do a good re-fresh on this topic! One where I go through not just travelling & staying 'on plan' but also actually 'enjoying' travel/time away within your own flexibility preferences too (without ruining progress).
