Make Bank with Marie Wold

I am SO pumped for you guys to hear this conversation I had with Lauren Irick, who is a world class bikini competitor turned wellness and self-love warrior. Her and I have walked an extremely similar path, minus the world class part of course, but we have both experienced the extremes of fitness competitions and are now pursuing healing and health above all else. In this episode, Lauren is pulling back the curtain and sharing what it REALLY takes to be a top professional bikini competitor / bodybuilder and the consequences she’s faced because of it. We also share our experiences with trying to heal holistically in the conventional western medical system-- spoiler alert: it’s super frustrating. And last but definitely not least, we dive deep into what it’s like to basically start all over again with our personal identities, confidence, and self-worth after leaving the sport that we had dedicated our lives to. As you can tell, this conversation covered SO many important topics, and even if you’re not interested in the competing world, I know that you’ll learn so much from Lauren and her journey of healing and personal growth.

The single MOST important relationship we'll ever have is with ourselves, yet so many of us our guilty of leaving our own needs as an afterthought. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a student, a mom, a corporate girl boss, or anything in between, it's so easy to let our ambitions and hunger for success totally take over. There's ALWAYS more work to be done, more people to meet, and more concepts to brainstorm... but hustling endlessly comes at a cost. For today's guest, Kat Harris, that cost was crippling anxiety attacks and overwhelming exhaustion-- that was her wake up call. Through her rise as a super successful photographer, the founding of an online magazine, honing her content creation skills, and starting a podcast of her own, Kat has learned the importance of putting her own oxygen mask on first, but it hasn't been a smooth ride by any means. Listen in as well discuss the really important (and really HARD) things we need to tackle as ambitious women with big goals.
