In this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are talking about something we ALL tend to talk about at SOME point in our fitness journey- weight gain!  We are discussing our failed reverses, how to execute and strategize your offseason and the need for a healthy mindset and body image during your time away from the stage as a competitor.  We are diving deep into the complexities of an athlete’s mindset at all stages of their fitness journey, how this can vary for women in different age groups and how social media can play a role in how we see ourselves during our improvement seasons. You’ll learn from our personal experiences as athletes and as coaches for female competitors as we discuss the role of a caloric surplus for muscle gain, insights on hormonal health during prep, the emotional challenges of weight fluctuations for competitors, and the significance of celebrating off-season bodies!

On this week’s episode, we are joined by Jamie Sterling, a wife and mother of 2 and IFBB/NPC promoter of the Indy Pro Super Show, one of the biggest NPC and IFBB shows in the Midwest!  Jamie shares with our audience how her fitness journey began and how she accomplished a 100 lb weight loss to find her way to the NPC national stage!  We learn all the behind the scenes of how a show as grand as the Indy Pro Supershow comes together, how she and her husband work behind the scenes for months and months leading up to the show to create an incredible production and how she pulled this off amidst a rigorous prep competing on the national circuit.  Jamie is passionate about creating welcoming environment and exceptional experience for competitors and it’s clear that she finds joy in her dual role as both a competitor and promoter!

In today’s episode we are comparing and contrasting the differences between prepping before and after babies and prepping as an open competitor versus as a masters competitor.  We discuss the challenges balancing fitness, career, friends/family, and competition as well as our personal experiences of competition prep at different phases in life.  We touch on hormones,  metabolism, social media pressures, aging, body image, muscle building and share our experience both as athletes and coaches to help you understand the advantages of each phase of life in order to maximize your results and enrich your experience in a sport we love so much!  We want you to know that it’s important to focus on what you have, not what you don’t have in order to become the most confident version of yourself!  Every athlete’s journey is unique and no matter where you start, there is a place on that stage for everyone!!

In today’s episode, we are joined by a special guest, IFBB Bikini Pro Brittany Schrempp!  A brand new bikini pro, Brittany is a mama of 3, a wife, a certified Functional Nutritionist and Exercise Physiologist and coach who earned her pro card this past summer at the 2024 NPC North Americans after numerous regional overall wins and 6 national shows!  Brittany shares how her battle with postpartum depression led her to the desire to find the habits and structure of the bodybuilding lifestyle and ultimately led her to her first prep and a subsequent love for the sport!  She shares her experience of battling an autoimmune disease in 2022 and how this fueled her desire to help others overcome similar battles and health struggles.  

We were so honored to have this time with Brittany and hope that her story inspires you to reach for your goals and preserve no matter what life throws at you!  If you enjoyed this episode, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how much this podcast has helped you 💕 We’d also love to hear from you about future topics you would like us to discuss so please leave us a comment or reach out to us with your questions and suggestions!
