Curls & Courage

Hey guys!! Thank you so much for listening to another episode of Curls & Courage!

When it comes to reaching your fitness goals, obstacles are always being thrown your way.

Finding time can be a real challenge when it comes to bettering your health. I've been that girl-working three jobs at once, dealing with low motivation, zero support, and on top of that, I was broke.

But, I still made time for the gains and you can too...

Today's episode is all about how you can overcome any challenge when it comes to fitness because the biggest obstacle is YOU.

Not your schedule. Not your wallet. Not your friends or your gym. It's how you RESPOND to these obstacles that makes the difference.

Stop waiting on the perfect conditions- you just need to start showing up for yourself!

As always, I hope you love this episode and feel inspired after listening!

What’s up you guys!! First off, thank you so much for listening to today's episode where I'm practically roasting myself lol.

Today’s episode is all about the dumbest mistakes I made on my fitness journey—Part 2, because apparently I had more bad ideas and beliefs than I thought.

We’re talking about things like rushing through training and why you’e not seeing results, ignoring injuries (like why running on a broken hip is probably not the best way to become a D1 athlete, chasing unrealistic body composition goals, and treating hormone balance like it’s a simple checklist instead of a full-on science experiment.

If you're serious about fitness and staying healthy long term- or just wanna hear me clown my 2020 self, this episode is for you! I hope this one makes you laugh and helps you avoid making the same mistakes I did!

Hello, my loves, and thank you so much for listening to another episode of Curls & Courage! You already know I’m incredibly passionate about fitness—and that passion started at a young age. Even 15-year-old Kensley wanted gains!

But let’s be real... I definitely did not know then what I know now when it comes to making TRUE progress.

I was that girl who skipped the pool to hit up GNC and buy protein bars—no exaggeration, I used to eat like 6 or 7 a day… and my stomach still hasn’t forgiven me.

From skipping rest days for years to realizing recovery and rest doesn't make me weak...

From isolating myself for fitness to learning that relationships don't kill progress- they actually fuel it.

This funny, yet insightful episode is all about the dumbest fitness beliefs I used to have. I hope you love this one, and more importantly, I hope it helps you avoid some of my past mistakes.

Hey guys!! Thank you so much for tuning in to today's show- I hope you love it :)

In this one, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my national-level bikini competition in Las Vegas. Peak week is no joke- from water manipulation and depletion to carb loading and taking shots at 8am on show day. If you've ever wondered what the final week before stepping on stage really looks like, this episode is for you.

Later in the show, I'm sharing post competition reflections, what's next for me, and how I celebrated after stepping off stage (5 am dance floors baby).

Enjoy this story-time and have the courage (and the curls) to chase something you're passionate about! Hard work matters — but don’t forget, there’s power in playing hard too!

Welcome back to another episode of Curls & Courage my loves!!

In today's episode, we’re diving into the dark, hilarious, and unfiltered world of bodybuilding and bikini prep. From coaches confessing their love mid-diet, to literal artery ruptures, and even a dude posing high on coke— this is going to be one of the most unhinged and honest episodes yet!

Competing isn’t all sparkly bikinis, shredded abs, and polished Instagram reels. It’s dragging yourself through brutal workouts, eating the same bland meals every day, constant fatigue, and questioning why you chose to put yourself through this all over again!

To me, the extreme sacrifice is worth it—and you guys already know I’m a huge advocate for the sport. But, let’s keep it real. After sharing my own experiences and current prep as a competitive bikini athlete, I’m responding to some absolutely wild Reddit and online bodybuilding confessions. These had me crying, cringing, and legit laughing out loud!

I hope you love this one just as much as I loved losing my mind over these stories!

You guys... It’s summer time!

This is the time of year when you're spending more time at the beach, going to swim parties, traveling, and expanding your summer wardrobe. Let's be honest -we all want to feel confident in a bikini, right?

I totally get it and know the value of feeling good in your own skin! But lately? I've been seeing way too many unhealthy summer shredding trends blowing up online. Quick fixes. Crash diets. Juice cleanses. Detox teas. Unprescribed medications. Insane cosmetic procedures. And more.

Y’all already know- that's not the vibe! Yes, I want you to look amazing, but not at the expense of your health. You feel me?

So in today’s episode, we’re getting real about:

• Toxic trends you need to avoid
• Sustainable habits you need to start today
• How to build a strong, feminine, and curvy body that lasts way beyond just bikini season.

Let’s make hot girl summer a lifestyle, not a crash course!

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you love this episode!

My loves...

These past few weeks have really tried me to say the least!

After a tumbling injury left me unable to walk and car accident nearly took my life, I was forced to face the "chaos" head-on. In this story-time based episode, I share the raw truth behind the setbacks that tested both my physical strength and mental resilience.

From pain and trauma to perspective and growth, these moments remind me why mindset matters more than ever! I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired to get back up after life knocks you down :) Thank you so much for listening!
