  • For the mamas!

    Finally a podcast with all the pros who live a similar lifestyle… as MOMS!! I respect all of the effort and energy competitors put into their day. But as a mom of 8, I know first hand it looks very different when it’s not just about you. We have to learn a different mindset and ability to navigate priorities. Love to learn from those who are where I desire to go! Keep it up.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 98: IFBB Bikini Pro Alexa Cardon: From Dancer to Mom of 2 and IFBB Pro
Q: How did you come to be a bikini competitor and then a pro?
Alexa describes her dance background, the wake-up call from a family tragedy, and how she got introduced to bodybuilding through a gym coach, leading to multiple shows and ultimately earning her pro card after trusting her coach and embracing back-to-back seasons.
Ep 91: May Q&A + Mandy and Gillian’s Updates: Are We Competing This Year?
Q: What tips do you have for staying consistent when sleep is disrupted by family duties?
If sleep is poor, adjust training intensity and timing, keep nutrition simple and meal-prepped in advance, and use rest or lower-intensity days to support recovery while maintaining overall progress.
Ep 91: May Q&A + Mandy and Gillian’s Updates: Are We Competing This Year?
Q: How do you balance a busy family life with training and prep, especially with kids and travel?
Be realistic about workout frequency, prioritize five quality sessions, simplify meals, prepare in advance, and align coaching support with your actual life to avoid burnout while still progressing toward competition goals.
Ep 91: May Q&A + Mandy and Gillian’s Updates: Are We Competing This Year?
Q: How should masters athletes approach pro-card qualifications and which shows to target?
Identify pro-qualifying shows early, consult NPC News Online for schedules, plan a warm-up show near a national judge to get feedback, and then choose between Masters Nationals, North Americans, or similar events based on class structure and opportunities.
Ep 91: May Q&A + Mandy and Gillian’s Updates: Are We Competing This Year?
Q: What do you do if you are on your period on show day, and how does that affect prep and posing?
It's completely manageable; communicate with your coach, adjust gear (like strings or tampons) if needed, and remember that being lean and stage-ready can still be achieved despite period-related bloating or discomfort.
