3X BIKINI OLYMPIA WINNER, MY TRUTHS with Ashley Kaltwasser

Disclaimer: This episode will blow your mind

Let’s be honest. Most girls admit their goal for this sport is to make it to the Olympia. That tells you how huge this platform is. In simple terms, Olympia could peak your career in many great ways. Qualifying for the Olympia means you have worked extremely hard and you are really good at what you do. Now, imagine not just competing but winning a title in the Olympia. Not only that. Imagine winning three titles in a row.

Previously I have hosted undeniably phenomenal women, who have shared nothing but great insights. But our guest today is beyond exceptional. For the first time in the history of this show, I'm hosting an Olympia legend. This woman is a serious champion. Our guest today is none other than Ashley Kaltwasser

Ashley Kaltwasser is an IFBB Pro figure and fitness competitor. Ashley has accomplished something that no one else in the industry has been able to accomplish. In the history of bodybuilding, Ashley is the first athlete to scoop 3 Bikini Olympia titles in a row, taking her first title in 2013. She started competing at 23 and she has constantly been competing for six years, placing first in countless IFBB pro events. Ashley has impressively set the standard for all the IFBB pros. Like anyone else, she has her high and low moments but she uses every opportunity to touch and inspire other women in the sport. Ashley has educated and motivated thousands of women from all over the world.

This episode uncovers who Ashley really is deep down inside as she shares her passions, transformations, and lessons learned throughout her entire journey in her bodybuilding career and her life.
