After months of extreme focus, discipline, and sacrifice, what happens when it’s all over? In today’s episode, I dive deep into the reality of the post comp blues - a common but rarely talked about experience for athletes at every level.

I break down what the post comp blues actually are, why they happen (both psychologically and physiologically) and how you can move through them with clarity and grace. You'll learn why loss of structure, goals and identity hit so hard after a major event and more importantly, practical tools you can use to rebuild, refocus and protect your mindset.

We unpack how to stay connected through prep, how we support each other without comparison or competition, what to do when one person isn’t into bodybuilding and why communication is the cornerstone of everything.

This episode is full of honesty, laughs, lessons, and a behind the scenes look at our dynamic - from the delulu prep days to learning how to blend discipline with presence and joy.
