Here is episode 23, and we couldn’t wait to share this incredibly raw and honest chat with IFBB Bikini Pro @becdean_ifbbpro

Bec’s journey is very much one Grace and I followed and Grace in particular was present with, and no doubt it will be one our listeners will be familiar with too. What Becky shares within this episode however is incredibly vulnerable, she opens up about the realities of her achieving her pro status, how that impacted her mindset and she explains the turbulent road she’s had to endure since winning her pro card. It’s not one to miss; the lessons she has been forced to learn are lessons we should all keep at the forefront of our minds when navigating this sport!  

We cover:

— Becky’s background, how she entered the sport, the appeal, her successes and what her expectations were;
-her goals in that pinnacle season, was a pro card the goal? 

- Self doubt and self belief, at what point in her journey to achieving her pro status, did each have a role in her push towards that goal?

- Life after winning her pro card; sharing the challenges she faced and is still managing even to this day;

- How that has shaped her post show period and subsequent time away from stage, what mental and physical obstacles has she had to face and find a way to overcome and how has that impacted her view on competing and her status as a professional athlete;

- Pressures which turning pro has brought about, social media, external expectation and managing the madness; 

- Becky’s diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease and how her life has changed inside and outside of the sport as a result;

- What her training and life looks like now? How she is approaching this phase of her life and future goals, if there are any at this stage;

- Take home advice for first time athletes and athletes who have the ultimate goal of becoming a professional athlete.  

And so much more.

These are the conversations we live for on this podcast; sharing the things that matter and creating a platform for difficult conversations so that they may serve to support other people in similar circumstances or help prepare athletes for what might come in their journey for greatness.
