MEGAN LONG; Handling Reddit Hate, What Do I Deserve from a Man?, Performing Under Pressure, Competing for the Right Reasons

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Megan Long, Health and fitness coach, Raw and Revive athlete, and so much more than bodybuilding. She started competing in 2016 at age 18 and has done 6 regional shows and 5 national shows since then. After coaching changes, long off seasons, and deciding to take bodybuilding seriously she won her Pro card in July 2022 at USAs. Megan talks about her struggles handling pressure early on in her career and how coaching changes helped her grow mentally and physically.  Megan does NOT hold back in the conversation. She is so generous with her wisdom and experiences. You don’t want to miss it!
