Just like that show day has been and gone!

After 7 months, 32 weeks, hundreds of hours in the gym, a lot of meal prep and countless hours posing in a bikini another season is all wrapped up!

After feeling slightly disappointed at my placing and my package at the QLD state show I made it my mission to work as hard as I possibly could between shows and bring my absolute best to Nationals. I think that was mission accomplished!

Show day with all of its glamour and shine is such a fun way to celebrate all the hard work and sacrifice you have made throughout the journey getting there. However as all bodybuilders know, show day isn't the end of the road or the end of the hard work. Post-comp comes with a whole new set of mental, physical and emotional challenges. 

To be honest this episode was a tough one to record as I am still processing all my emotions from my season and show day myself let alone knowing how to articulate them but I gave it my best go and I hope it helps you navigate your own journey! 

In this episode I cover: 

How I went at Nationals 

  • What I loved most about show day 
  • Why I felt like anything but a first was a failure and how I overcame this 
  • What my post treats were!
  • How I manage my post-comp meals, diet and my mindset around food 
  • What my offseason plans are 
  • When I next plan to step on stage 
  • How I manage post-comp blues and things to be mindful of when you finish competing 
  • Tips to staying on track in your offseason. 
  • Summary of my total season and how I am feeling now.

If you need someone to speak to about your own post-comp journey or relationship with food make sure to send me a message or connect - I am always here to support!
