In today’s episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Alyssa Frietchen, who earned her Pro card at 2024 Nationals after just over a year of competing. Currently in her offseason and planning for her Pro debut this fall, Alyssa shares how she quickly fell in love with bodybuilding and now hopes to inspire others to find their passion for the sport as well.

 

We dive into her mindset throughout her journey, from reverse dieting and post-show habits to embracing the learning process between shows. Alyssa opens up about building confidence on stage, developing a healthy relationship with food, and starting her own coaching business.

This episode is full of heart, passion, and practical insight for anyone working toward their goals, on and off the stage.
