In this episode I talked to the creator and founder of Cookie Box Co, Vick. We all know Vick as the brains behind the crazy not-so-dinky pies and the mouth-watering chunky hunks but most of us don't know how she came to be. We know about her bodybuilding escapades but until now we didn't know how she found the sport and what she was doing before bodybuilding and baking. In this episode we take it back to her days as a teacher, the breakdown of her relationship and how she got through some of the darkest times in her life. Thank you for joining me Vick, and thank you for telling your story. .Instagram: @HannahWaresClothing Sponsor: Trained By JP Clothing - use HANNAH10 to saveStage Bikini's are always from Georgia Rose BikiniStage Tan by the best Get BronzedSweet Treats from @cookieboxco and you can order yours here www.cookieboxco.co.uk use HANNAH10 to save.

I have heard America Ferrera's Barbie Monologue many times since the movie came out and I think its fair to say that her speech 'spoke' to most women. The “impossible” standards we feel we must meet on a daily basis. It was only recently that I heard her speech again but this time when she said "You have to be thin, but not too thin." I heard, "you have to be lean, but not too lean" and my mind spiralled into all of the expectations that are placed upon women who train. When I shared this on Instagram I was overwhelmed by the number of women who replied to the story, shared it, messaged me, liked it, reacted.. etc. So, I wanted to upload it here. It was a moment in time where my brain ran away with itself, but I felt it needed more than a moment. Thank you for listening. .Instagram: @HannahWares Clothing Sponsor: Trained By JP Clothing - use HANNAH10 to saveStage Bikini's are always from Georgia Rose BikiniStage Tan by the best Get BronzedSweet Treats from @cookieboxco and you can order yours here www.cookieboxco.co.ukSupplements from Full Board Sports use HANNAH10 to save

We have a Pocket Rocket Podcast first! A 4-way podcast with some of my favourite people in the bodybuilding industry; coach Tom Hames, IFBB Pro Sara Bradley & the 19 year old figure phenomenon Catlin Hill. I love following Sara and Catlin's bodybuilding journey so it was a no brainer to do a offseason update with them both.

I was joined by Thomas Maw aka TMCycles for an episode of Diary of a Bodybuilder following is recent decision to step away from the competitive bodybuilding scene. I wanted to ask Tom about his decision to move away from the sport, why he chose to do it, his drivers and how it made him feel. Now, almost a year later, we reflect on how his life has changed and what the future holds for TMCycles, FLOW and Off The Cuff with the B.B.C

In this episode I talk to my friend and fellow bikini competitor, Char Ellis. I have been a big fan of Char's physique ever since she ventured into competitive bodybuilding a couple of years ago. However, she is more than just an incredible physique. Charlotte is a lovely person, she's funny, kind, caring, driven, passionate, hard working and the combination of those personality traits with the overall package she brings to stage WILL take her a long way in this sport.

I'm back with another Solo Podcast this time reflecting on things I've learnt this week at my 9-5 day job. The tools that we use at work to understand issues and find solutions can be used in every aspect of our lives to problem solve. Once you can pinpoint WHY something is an issue, you can address HOW you will resolve it... and if it's even something you want to resolve. Allow me to introduce you to C - C - C - D ...

In this episode I speak to Jay Davies, the man behind Magic Eye Media. You will have seen Jay's work on member sites such as Trained by JP, as well as YouTube channels for Nathan De Asha, James Hollingshead, Rob Taylor and many more. But, how much do you know about Jay and the life of the man behind the camera? YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JayDavies_UK

Another Solo Pod from me... this time I'm reflecting on the things I wish I'd known when I was younger. Some things I learnt early on into my teenage years, other things I've only come to understand recently. We're forever changing and growing... but as long as we learn along the way, that's all that matters.

Another solo poddy from my, myself and I talking about 2022, goal setting, personal growth, competing plans.... and everything you need to know about gym etiquette!

In this episode I talk to Jess & Jack about all things bodybuilding and relationships. I was always been in awe of the support system they have in place for each other and I wanted to know more about what happens behind closed doors, and how they balance the bodybuilding lifestyle with being a 'normal' couple.

I've been thinking a lot about whether I am authentically me. Am I the same person no matter what situation I find myself in regardless 'outside pressures'? Am I the same person whether I am at home alone, or whether I'm in a room full of people? Am I honest about who I am, who I want to be and do I love me, for me?

My first solo episode. In this episode I talk about the "post show period" and how I've found myself feeling isolated. I open up about my experiences as a teenager and how the insecurities of being 'the odd one out' have crept back in. I hope that people can resonate with this episode, as I think many of us have shared experiences on this topic.

The last time Haider and I spoke on the podcast I said to him "WHEN you win your Pro Card, we'll record another episode". So here we are talking again following Haider's overall win and his entry into the Pro League at the Amateur Olympia in Denmark. I loved this episode with Haider, and I couldn't be happier for him. No one deserved this more than him. Congratulations H #roadtoO

In this episode I speak with the famous "DW" aka. Dan Welburn. If you know Dan, you'll know that he works with a lot of figure athletes and has done exceptionally well with PCA - 18 British titles and 95 show wins. I was keen to talk to Dan and get an insight into the Figure Category and much more. PCA

In this episode I talk to Rob Whitfield aka Mr. Team LRF. As some (if not all) of you will know, Rob has a reputation for turning athletes into IFBB Pros. He has a staggering 17 IFBB Pros and has over 500 show wins. We talk about his experiences as a coach, his advice to others from lessons learnt over the years and what he hopes to achieve in the future.

In this episode Erin and I talk about her recent shows in the Bahamas and the USA, and how she felt more accepted and comfortable as a strong woman abroad, than she does in England. She also talks about her earlier competitive years and how that changed the dynamic with her mum, fiancé and friends.

In this episode I had the honour to speak to Sara Bradley aka "small but mighty". Not only does Sara have a phenomenal physique, but she is beautiful inside and out. She talks about her experiences as strong woman; the ups and downs, negativity from the general public, but also how her family have grown to understand her love for bodybuilding and the support they offer. Her energy is infectious throughout our conversation and I hope you enjoy listening to her story as much as I did.

In this episode Georgie and I chat about the changes to her body and how her parents initially felt about her plans to compete and grow.
