Listen "Episode 6: Beyond the Bikini "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my experience competing in NPC bodybuilding—from the grit and discipline to the complex relationship between body image, identity, and mental health. What started as a personal goal quickly became a deeper exploration of self-worth, validation, and the pressure to maintain a physique that’s often admired but rarely sustainable.Join me as I reflect on the highs, the burnout, the transformation (inside and out), and the lessons I carry with me now. Whether you’ve competed, thought about it, or just want an honest convo about body image and balance—this one’s for you.
