In this episode, I sit down with Kayleigh Orbert, also known as @CupcakeMuscle on Instagram, to chat all things bikini competing, mindset, and navigating life when things don’t go according to plan.

We dive into the reality of prep life beyond the glam talking about what it really takes to step on stage, how to stay committed when the unexpected happens, and why flexibility and balance are key to longevity in the sport.

Kayleigh opens up about her experiences competing in the bikini division and also shares her growing interest in the fit model division. We explore what draws her to this new category and how it aligns with her evolving goals and physique vision.

She also shares how she’s handled curveballs during prep, the importance of a strong support system, and how her mindset has grown over time.

Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of bikini and fit model prep, this episode is full of honesty, insight, and empowering takeaways for anyone working toward their goals—on or off the stage
