    Show Day Survival Guide: Travel Tips & What I Wish I Knew Before Competing

    Show day doesn’t start on the day you step on stage. It starts with how well you prepare. In this episode, I share everything I wish I knew before competing — from backstage organisation to travelling internationally for a bodybuilding show. With my IFBB Fit Model Pro debut two weeks away in Japan, this conversation breaks down the practical side of competing that no one really talks about — the logistics, the travel planning, the peak week coordination, and how to stay calm when things don’t go perfectly. We talk about:– Show day essentials most competitors forget– Backstage organisation (tan timing, athlete numbers, pump up, food)– What to pack in your show day bag– Pump up food, water, salt & working with your coach– Travelling internationally for a competition– Flights, food prep, customs & backup plans– Booking accommodation, gyms & grocery stores strategically– Managing peak week, water retention & carb ups while travelling– How to stay calm and actually enjoy show day This isn’t about overcomplicating prep or creating more stress.It’s about being organised, thinking ahead, and protecting your peace so you can step on stage confident and composed. By show day, the work is done.Your job is to execute, stay calm, and enjoy the experience you earned. Whether you’re preparing for your first bodybuilding show, travelling for a competition, or stepping into your pro debut season, this episode is for you. Hope you all love it.

    How to Make the Most of Your 20s: Life advice I wish I knew sooner | Let's Get Deeper Podcast

    Clarity doesn’t come from 'having life figured out' it comes from lived experience. In this episode, I reflect on what my 20s have taught me so far and the lessons I’m carrying with me as I turn 25. Rather than offering rules or timelines, this conversation explores how understanding your values, respecting your time, and choosing your actions intentionally can shape a life that feels aligned. We talk about:– How understanding what you value unlocks purpose– Why time is the most valuable thing you have– Choosing relationships and environments intentionally– Learning to say no and setting boundaries with self-respect– How your life reflects how you see yourself– Practicing gratitude out loud– Growing through discomfort instead of avoiding it– Allowing life to feel lighter and more enjoyable– Why things are often only as deep as you make them– Letting go of expectations you place on others This isn’t a guide to “having it all together” by 25.It’s an honest reflection on clarity, growth, and learning how to choose yourself without pressure or comparison. Whether you’re in your early 20s, approaching a new chapter, or simply in a season of becoming, this episode is for you. Hope you all love it.X Charli Connect with me on IG: @Charli.Lilagan

    Discipline is self-love. Choosing self-respect over comfort | Let's Get Deeper Podcast

    Discipline isn’t punishment. It’s self-respect in action. In this episode, I share why discipline is one of the most misunderstood (yet powerful) forms of self-love, especially during bodybuilding prep and Fit Model competition seasons. Rather than framing self-love as softness or letting yourself off the hook, this conversation explores how structure, boundaries, and choosing hard things create freedom, balance, and long-term sustainability in prep. We talk about: – Why self-love isn’t always comfortable in bodybuilding prep – Discipline as self-respect, not punishment – How prep reveals your relationship with yourself – Allowing things to be hard without self-abandonment – The difference between ego, excuses, and true self-care – Balancing ambition, relationships, and discipline in prep – Why structure often creates more freedom, not less This isn’t about glorifying extremes, over-restriction, or burnout. It’s about approaching bodybuilding, Fit Model prep, and personal growth with clarity, respect, and intention — so the process supports your life instead of consuming it. Whether you’re deep in prep, approaching show season, considering competing, or simply learning how to pursue big goals with balance and self-trust, this episode is for you. Hope you all love it.

    Mastering Routines: The Quiet Key to Success in Prep | Let's Get Deeper Podcastt

    In this episode, I share why mastering your routines is one of the most important — and overlooked — keys to success in prep. Rather than relying on motivation or intensity, this conversation explores how simple, repeatable routines create consistency, calm, and sustainability as prep gets harder. We talk about: – Why routines matter more as calories drop – The difference between supportive structure and rigidity – How routines reduce decision fatigue and emotional overwhelm – My actual prep routines and daily anchors – Common mistakes competitors make with routines – How routines support mindset, relationships, and balance – Why calm prep is often the most successful prep This isn’t about perfection or extreme discipline. It’s about building systems that support your nervous system, your mindset, and your life — not consume it. Whether you’re deep in prep, approaching the final weeks, or simply wanting more stability in how you pursue your goals, this episode is for you. Hope you all love it.

    Not a Comeback — a Continuation | Let’s Get Deeper Podcast SEASON 2 EP.1

    Balancing Action & Intention: 5 Questions to ask yourself for alignment

    Welcome to this week's episode of the Let's Get Deeper Podcast. Today, we take some time together to pause and get intentional. So often it's easy to get caught in the doing and direction without stopping to reflect on whether the direction we're heading in is aligned to us. I'll prompt you to embrace all seasons and both sides of the action/rest coin through some questions and gentle self inquiry. Remember that life and experiences come in ebbs and flows. To honour that is to embrace life fully. Big Love as always, X Charli @Chxrli.L on Instagram

    You are not your thoughts - techniques on accessing inner peace

    Welcome to this week's episode of the Let's Get Deeper Podcast. Today, we dive into some techniques on how to actually start observing your thoughts rather than identifying and attaching to them. It's not about controlling your thoughts - it's abut noticing when they are controlling you. This episode was inspired by current themes within the LGD Mindset Coaching community currently as well as my own reflections and insights throughout my first challenge of this year. There's something special and profound about being able to accept, embrace and surrender to when a thought arrives without attaching to it, before it inevitably passes on. It is my hope that through listening and through practice, learning this skill will bring you closer to being able to access internal peace whenever you need. It is there for you always. With love and a gentle virtual squeeze, X Charli @Chxrli.L on Instagram
