In this episode of Balanced & Built, we’re pulling back the curtain on the world of women’s bodybuilding — the good, the bad, and the brutally honest. 💪We talk about what it really takes to compete — from the financial costs and lifestyle sacrifices to the mental discipline and physical transformation. We also dive into how to know if you’re truly in a good spot to start a prep, what post-show reality looks like, and how to find balance once the stage lights fade.Whether you’ve dreamed of competing or just want to understand the bodybuilding lifestyle, this episode is for you. Shae started her bodybuilding career in 2023 when she competed in her first show. She fell IN LOVE with the sport, and has learned a lot along the way that we are sharing in this episode. Bodybuilding is an amazing sport - but just like anything else, you should do your research and educate yourself before jumping in.
