In today's episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Zoey St. John, a rising star and natural athlete who made her mark in the NPC before earning her Pro card. Zoey took the overall titles at the 2024 Natural Ohio and 2024 Northcoast Championships, and went on to win the Overall at the 2025 Pittsburgh to earn her spot in the IFBB. Zoey is a lifelong athlete with a background in volleyball, track, dance, cheer, and softball. Introduced to bodybuilding by her father, who competed in the 90s, she shares how the sport has shaped her physically, mentally, and emotionally. We dive into her experience with disordered eating, the pressure to do everything perfectly, and how working with a therapist helped her redefine her relationship with food, fitness, and self-worth. Zoey brings refreshing honesty about competing naturally, finding your identity beyond the stage, and giving yourself grace through every phase.

Welcome back to another episode!  This week's episode of Bikinis After Babies is full of updates!!  Gillian is back from Denver Colorado after competing in her first IFBB Bikini Pro show, the Mile High Pro, and Mandy has also returned from Colorado where she underwent a very successful egg retrieval procedure!  Gillian reflects on her experience at her first pro show and how it differed from prior show experiences as an NPC amateur.  She details some of the travel challenges, food prep hacks while away from home, show day details, judge feedback and the emotional toll of competition.  Mandy shares the updates in her IVF journey and the challenges she has experienced both physically and mentally!  We talk about the vast difference in our lives this year versus last year but how the complexities that exist in both IVF and bodybuilding are challenging and the highs and lows of both are quite comparable- we are so lucky to have each other and our amazingly supportive audience who supports us through all phases of our lives! We also touch on the impact of the pressure and expectation in the sport of bodybuilding and how this can affect both mental health and the backstage dynamic can be intense!  While its common to make long lasting connections at shows and a sense of camaraderie exists among athletes, the pressures and expectations that come with competing at higher levels can cause a tense backstage environment.  We share some strategies for dealing with this and overall it's important to enjoy competition day- you've worked hard for it…go out there and have FUN!!We hope that you enjoyed this episode, and if so, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how this podcast has helped you
