In this episode, Lisa- a BBM and business coaching client and I sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about our past lives in bodybuilding.
Long before we worked together, Lisa was the girlfriend of my first boss- a competitor I once admired from afar. Years later, I followed the same path. We both lived through the extreme, obsessive side of competing and the long recovery that followed.
We talk about:
- What “stage-ready” diets really looked like in the 2000s (tilapia, asparagus, and not much else)
- 24/7 waist corsets and “Bombshell showers” before show day
- Body dysmorphia, hormonal chaos, and the brutal post-show rebound
- My experience with generic team plans and toxic competition culture
- How both of us rebuilt our bodies and mindset without the obsession
