Show notes
In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the real side of bodybuilding prep with two incredible women: Chelsea and Diana. They're the masterminds behind the Bikini Wellness & Figure Competition Prep Facebook group, which has grown to nearly 60,000 members. We dive into the common struggles and surprises women face when preparing for a show — from balancing life and training to managing extreme diets.
Chelsea shares her own experience with the ups and downs of competing, including the emotional challenges and the importance of mindset. Diana opens up about the mental battles with food and how cultural pressures can complicate the journey. Plus, we talk about the importance of community and how having the right support can make or break your experience.
Whether you're thinking about competing or you're already deep into prep, this conversation will offer insights, a little bit of tough love, and a whole lot of real talk about what it takes to survive (and thrive) in bodybuilding. You don't want to miss it!
