Beyond the Bikini Radio

In this episode, I’m joined by IFBB Fit Model Pro Jane Jones to recap the first-ever Fit Model Olympia. We discuss this historic event in the sport, her experience as a competitor, and her journey from Bikini to Fit Model Pro.

Jane shares the dedication, discipline, and mindset it took to transition between divisions, along with the challenges of navigating a demanding competition prep while being a mom. We talk about balancing motherhood with bodybuilding, pushing through difficult moments, and staying committed to your goals even when life gets challenging.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or a mom pursuing your own goals, this episode offers an honest look at the realities of competition prep, the evolution of the Fit Model division, and what it takes to pursue your passion while balancing family life.

In this episode of Beyond the Bikini Radio, I’m joined by Lauren Warner, better known as @mother_tibs on Instagram, for an honest conversation about learning to celebrate the off seasons instead of constantly feeling like you need to be chasing the next goal.

We talk about the pressure we put on ourselves to always be progressing, achieving, and becoming “better,” and why it’s so important to recognize that the journey itself is something worth celebrating. Lauren shares her perspective on embracing different seasons of life, stepping away from the mindset that you always need to be pushing harder, and finding value in the moments that don’t necessarily look like traditional progress.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, struggled with putting unrealistic expectations on yourself, or found yourself so focused on the end goal that you forget to appreciate where you are right now, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes the off season isn’t a setback it’s part of the journey.
