Boundaries, standards, and expectations are not just things that we set for other people, but are important to set for ourselves. Adhering to these builds confidence, autonomy and can support success. But failing to adhere can encourage overstepping boundaries from others. Lead by example, starting with ourselves.

I collected 8 reasons I've seen in myself that can help define my success as an athlete in both bikini and powerlifting preps/competitions. I can see other athletes in other sports embody these as well. And I'm talking specifically about competitive athletes in this epi, but that doesn't mean these reasons are ‘only' for athletes; I've seen these within my clients as well.

Motivation isn't a bad thing; social media seems to shit on that term these days. Yes, we need to cultivate discipline, but it's ok to be motivated as well! I am! These are things I do that help me stay motivated - whether I'm in competition prep or a lifestyle phase - within workouts, nutrition, my environment, and every day life.

6 red flags that I have seen from personal trainers in many different countries. As a past PT, I know these aren't acceptable actions or traits and it's important to address these. If you have a personal trainer, be on the lookout for these flags and know what's not acceptable. This is your body, and these shouldn't be overlooked. I try to do my part to respectfully speak up about things like this in the industry to lead by example and encourage others to be better. This isn't a ‘hit' on anyone, but common things I've seen that aren't acceptable.

It's not my ‘job' as a bikini competitor to show you all the highs and lows during prep, but as an influencer with a decent social media following and as an educated coach (albeit for lifestyle clients) I believe I have a responsibility to be honest and share all of it. Here's an insight into a few incredibly hard days (and the mindset) being a few days out from my first competition of the year, and how I choose to ‘suck it up' (spoiler: because I know my plan and my protocols.) Whether or not you compete or have any interest in this sport, this episode comes with my honesty, my respect and a great analogy about ‘new levels of hard' that can be applied to anything in life.

Being an influencer comes with a lot of responsibilities, and IMHO: a lot of influencers don't take their power seriously, especially in the fitness (health/wellness) industry. The important context (like warnings, disclaimers, research, evidence) isn't flashy or interesting, so a lot of people overlook it (whether to write/share it or to read it), and I think influencers (also online coaches!) need to be better at leading by example and doing this work. "With great power comes great responsibility."

Sparked by a conversation from one of my competition friends about trying to find the balance within a (new) relationship, and goals when it comes to nutrition. I share my POV, experiences and encouragements for her to navigate and to have her balance to still nail her nutrition-aligned needs and goals with her relationship and going out to restaurants. Connection and moments like this are so important in a relationship. I have found my perfect balance over 2.5 years with my (now) husband to continue having date night every week even when I'm deep into prep.

My view on what it's like in my relationship (being the competitor) and how I've found my balance. Being in a relationship when you are so focused on nutrition and training can be a challenge, especially when your approaches do not entirely align. It doesn't mean that the other person has to be as focused as you are, as long as there is respect and understanding from both people. I think that is the most important part about being in a relationship, the clear communication, the respect and awareness for choices, and the support.

The only thing abs ‘do' are imply that we have a low body fat amount. They don't make us happier, healthier, more successful or improve the quality of our life.

Flexible dieting and IIFYM are not the same thing. My unpopular opinion is that IIFYM (if it fits your macros) is part of the diet culture. I break down the difference between these two approaches to nutrition, and which one I believe can often times be superior to improving someone's relationship with food (and therefore likely to support body composition changes like losing fat and gaining muscle.)

To better understand effective reps, we need to first understand what hypertrophy is. Then we need to understand the difference between fatigue and hypertrophy. Once we know the difference, we need to focus so intently on every single rep within the sets and move our body and muscles in a way that encourages hypertrophy to make every single rep more effective.
