Today I speak with IFBB Pro Becca Flachner. She started competing at the end of 2019 and prepped all the way until March 2020 when Covid hit and cancelled shows. As soon as gyms reopened she jumped into her first season, competing in three amateur seasons where she never placed below second place. She earned her Pro card in 2022 at Junior Nationals. Becca tells us about working towards judges’ feedback and how she  made improvements to win her Pro card while progressing between shows. She also runs her own cookie business called Baked by Becs!

 

She talks about her experience as a lifestyle coach and being a “stage mom” to help other competitors and how that has enriched her own journey in bodybuilding. Becca shares her go-to mindset tools to keep her mind in the game during prep so she can show up her best self on stage. 

 

Becca and I go deep in our conversation. You don’t want to miss it!
