Finding Fitbliss

In this episode, Jess interviews our founders Anneke and Lynndsey plus our team's posing coach and longtime friend of Fitbliss, Annie Kirchner about how they built businesses, connections, and confidence from what some may consider humble beginnings.

The ladies have a no-filter discussion where nothing is off limits and cover many topics like the importance of (and sometimes delicacy) women asking for what they want, succeeding in a man's world, owning a business with your spouse, ignoring negativity and so much more!
