In this episode of Cylence Unlocked, I’m joined by my coach Damian Segovi and the incredible Kristen Blair, nurse practitioner, wellness clinic founder, mom, and competitor. Kristen shares her raw journey of navigating motherhood, building a business, and returning to the stage after a C-section. We dive deep into hormone health, bloodwork, burnout, peptides, healing protocols, and what “optimal” truly means, especially for moms, athletes, and women juggling it all. I get real about my own health journey, how Kristen helped me prepare for life after competing, and why every woman deserves to feel strong, energized, and seen. Whether you're a mom, athlete, business owner, or all three, this episode is full of truth, education, and empowerment. We’re not here to survive, we’re here to thrive. Tune in. Take notes. And remember: it’s not selfish to take care of yourself, it’s essential.
