    Ep. 26 – Q&A: How Much Protein You Actually Need and Keeping Your Waist Tight in the Off-Season

    We're back with another Q&A episode answering the questions you've been asking on Instagram. From balancing bodybuilding with school and work to staying lean in the off-season without staying stage lean, we're covering the topics that actually matter for your goals. We're diving into how to get started lifting when you can't afford a personal trainer, whether your protein intake is too high, and what to do when you're dealing with a strained or fatigued muscle. Plus, we're getting real about off-season physique—why you don't need to get fat to build muscle, how to keep your waist tight while growing, and the difference between a healthy bulk and just gaining weight. This episode is packed with honest advice on meal prep, training basics, managing injuries, and finding balance when life gets busy. Whether you're a beginner trying to figure out where to start or someone navigating the off-season for the first time, we're breaking down what actually works without overcomplicating it.

    Ep. 25 – What You Need to Know Before Chasing a Pro Card (With Bella Boss)

    We're sitting down with Bella Boss, a 23-year-old bikini pro who just earned her pro card in her second season of competing. This conversation is everything—honest, inspiring, and full of the real advice you need if you've ever thought about chasing a pro card or just want to know what it actually takes! Bella shares her whole journey, from finding the sport through Ashley Kaltwasser's podcast and posing in her bathroom mirror to stepping on stage and turning pro at nationals. We're talking about finding a coach you trust, protecting your hormones during prep, why building in the off season matters more than anything, and learning to love every part of the process—not just show day. She also gets real about imposter syndrome after going pro, the mindset it takes to show up when motivation isn't there, and why bodybuilding isn't for everyone. Plus, we're diving into her favorite glute and shoulder exercises, how she approaches training, and what's next as she prepares for her potential pro debut. If you're serious about your goals or just love hearing from someone who's living this lifestyle at the highest level, you're gonna love this one!

    Ep. 24 – What Reverse Dieting Actually Is (And Why It Matters)

    The diet is over, you've hit your goals, and now what? This is where reverse dieting comes in, and it's one of the most important phases that no one really talks about. We're breaking down what reverse dieting actually is, why it matters for both competitors and lifestyle clients, and how to do it the right way without undoing all your hard work. Whether you just finished prep or wrapped up a fat loss phase, this episode covers how to gradually bring food back up, what to expect with your body, and the biggest mistakes we've all made along the way. We're sharing our personal experiences with reverse dieting—the good, the bad, and what we wish we knew sooner. From managing hunger signals to trusting the process when your clothes feel tighter, we're getting real about the mental and physical side of this phase. Because here's the truth: if you can commit to a 16-week prep or cut, you owe it to yourself to show up for the next four to eight weeks too. This isn't about restriction or staying stage lean forever. It's about setting your body up for long-term success, protecting your metabolism, and building sustainably.

    Ep. 20 – The Role of Sports Psychology in Your Fitness Journey

    If you've ever stood in front of the mirror picking yourself apart even though you're making progress, or spent an hour staring at your check-in photos hating what you see, or compared yourself to every girl at the gym until you felt like giving up - this episode is for you. We're sitting down with sports psychologist Gabe Rocha to talk about the mental struggles that no one wants to admit they're dealing with. The body dysmorphia that makes you feel fat even when you're the leanest you've ever been. The pressure you put on yourself to perform in the gym that actually ruins your training. The comparison trap on social media that leaves you feeling like you'll never be enough. Kate gets vulnerable about how she used to spend an hour taking check-in photos over and over, hating every single one. How she'd avoid looking at herself in the mirror at the gym because the negative self-talk was so overwhelming. And how working with Gabe shifted everything - from the journaling exercises that helped her stop stressing about things she can't control, to the sticky notes on her mirror with affirmations she reads every morning. We're diving into why you overthink your physique in a bulk, why you can't see your own progress even when it's there, and how to stop letting the stress of life bleed into how you feel about your body. Gabe breaks down the actual tools and strategies he uses with clients - not surface-level tips, but the real mental work that creates change. This isn't just for competitors. This is for anyone who feels like their mind is holding them back from enjoying their fitness journey. Because the physical work is hard enough - you don't need your own thoughts working against you too. Your mental game matters just as much as your macros 💖 Support the show 🎧 Listen to the full episode now — live every Monday 5am EST on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

    Ep. 19 – Main Character Energy: How to Become That Girl in and Out of the Gym

    You've seen that girl at the gym who just radiates confidence, walks in like she owns the place, and somehow makes everything look effortless. This week, we're talking about how to become that girl - not just in the gym, but in every part of your life. We're diving into what main character energy actually means and how to tap into that confident, feminine energy that comes from showing up for yourself consistently. Caroline breaks down how she romanticizes her routine even on the days she doesn't feel like it, Kate talks about setting boundaries and why discipline is the ultimate form of self-love, and Alani shares how she stopped comparing herself to other girls and started focusing on her own journey. We get into the habits that make you feel like that girl - from your morning routine and how you show up to the gym, to the mindset shifts that change everything. We talk about why lifting heavy while staying soft and feminine isn't a contradiction, how to stop training for the aesthetic and start training because you're investing in yourself, and why comparison will kill your progress every single time. Plus, we're sharing our current obsessions, gym pet peeves, and the little things that make us feel confident walking into any room. Because main character energy isn't about being perfect or having it all together - it's about showing up as your most authentic self and owning your space unapologetically. It's time to stop being a background character in your own life. Grab your Stanley, your pre-workout, and step into your main character era ✨ Support the show 🎧 Listen to the full episode now — live every Monday 5am EST on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
