    13: No Excuses

    Mara Ruckman is an IFBB Pro in the Women's Physique category. She has a background in competitive powerlifting, which ultimately led to her competing in a bodybuilding show. Mara is also a single mom who dealt with some pretty heavy traumas, but instead of letting everything bring her down, she picked herself up and was able to conquer some of her biggest goals. In this episode, Mara talks about getting surprised with a divorce all while she was planning on stepping away from her full-time job and pursuing her passion in competing. Obviously this news created a massive challenge in her goal to step on stage again. Mara went through some major depressions during the divorce, but was thankfully able to rely on her belief in God to get her through everything.  Today, Mara has a goal in inspiring others, especially single moms, to keep going for their passions, regardless of what life throws at you!

    12: Bodybuilding Mentality

    Kayla Finch is a Nationally-Qualified Women's Physique competitor. Kayla has a background in team sports and other forms of athletics, but didn't begin competing until June of 2024, where I had the priveledge of competing against her. Kayla was also in the Navy, which provided some extra discipline and a winner's mindset. However, before competing Kayla (and me as well), only had the goal of "getting skinny"; bodybuilding wasn't something she considered until after a few other friends and an ex-boyfriend showed her a little glimpse of the industry. In this episode, Kayla describes how getting 2nd place at her first show inspired her to work harder, which led to her to take 1st at her next show. Kayla and I also talk about the difference between athletes at the NPC level versus the Pro level. Kayla and I also talked about some of the similarities in bodybuilders with needing structure and a plan in order to succeed.
