When we talk about fitness competitions and competition prep, there are a lot of controversies that emerge, many of them related to drug abuse and athletes pushing their bodies to and past their limits. But are these fitness, bodybuilding, and bikini competitions superficial or are they self-nurturing?

I’ve been competing in these types of events many times during the 20 years span of my career, and I can honestly say that this has significantly changed my life. Bodybuilding is not just about transforming your physic through fitness and nutrition, it is about your evolution as a human being, about improving and rediscovering yourself as a whole- mind, body, and soul.

Today, I’ll walk you through some of the things that I learned while competing in this sport, help you get a better perspective on what really fits and highlights your true self, and I’ll share how you can join me on my next FREE Competition Prep Seminar.

 

– TIMESTAMPS –

(01:01) 20 years in this industry;

(03:06) A short walkthrough of some of the divisions of this sport;

(07:20) It's not a one size fits all! Find what really highlights who you are;

(09:23) How can a sport like this help you evolve?

(13:16) You need to be involved on all levels in order to get the results that you want;

(18:40) It might take years, but all that effort is with it!

(21:40) Get in touch with me to learn more about this sport and join my FREE Competition Prep Seminar.

 

 

-- QUOTES –

“It’s not just a weight loss competition. It’s a showcase of true evolution itself.”

 

“If you’re looking at a fitness competition, understand that it’s not a one size fits all approach in that sense. Look at what your body type is and what would showcase it best.”

 

“If you look at this sport to solely work on the physical, you’re going to end up depressed after the show especially if you don’t place or win, because, honestly, the odds for that are slim.”

 

“Because I learned the key steps to true confidence within this growth process to getting on stage, I knew that I can create something magical for my clients.”

Are you tired of just going through the motions of life, feeling as if you were living on autopilot? Well, you're in for a treat, because in this episode of Conquer Your Life, we’re talking about how to create the life you truly desire, rather than just ‘living in it’.

Before we moved to Florida, we were often caught up in our day-to-day routines and we had a constant feeling of craving the next holidays. Once this became too much, we had to stop and reassess what we really wanted for our lives. After a lot of soul-searching, we decided to turn things around and take the leap, and we’ve never looked back since.

In this episode, I’m sharing with you the roadmap that guided us through this process, from setting meaningful goals to practicing gratitude, that will help you take back control so that you start living your life by design, instead of by default.   

 

-- QUOTES --

- “In order to begin to create our lives, we oftentimes have to take risks to find the true rewards.”

- “Nothing happens by chance, so we must create change in order to find what we need.”

- “We didn’t know ‘when’ and ‘how’ we would make it happen, but we knew that we had to make it happen.”

- “Instead of emptying our tanks to fill it up only partially each vacation twice a year, we are now filling our cup up on the daily and never filling empty.”

Matrescence it’s a term coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael to describe the transition that a woman undergoes when she becomes a mother. When I came across this concept recently, I had one of those lightbulb moments and knew I had to record a podcast about it.

 

In my humble opinion, becoming a mother is probably the most noble pursuit any woman can experience in their lifetime. Yet society often gives us conflicting messages about the way we should approach this situation.

 

In this episode, I will share with you some insights that hopefully will help you navigate this period (pre- and post-birth), cultivate the right mindset, and empower you in your own transformation as you bring a new person into this world.

- “It’s good to have a birth plan, but it’s amazing to have a plan for after.”

- “Pregnancy lasts 9 months, the birth lasts a few days, but motherhood lasts forever.”

After coaching thousands of clients over the last 15 years, I've realized most people don’t know where to start when it comes to eating healthier. They usually think that such pursuit begins with eating less, but what if I told you this approach is totally wrong?

 

I want you to start thinking about nutrition in a different way. Forget about dieting, forget about burning fat, forget about counting macros. In this episode, I will share what I’ve learned about planning your daily food intake, and guide you into building a nutritional baseline that works for you.

-- QUOTES –

- “Fruit from sugar is not bad, but when you have too much of it all at once, your body cannot process that much.”

- “You are probably getting bored with your food whenever you try to eat healthier... (because) you are eating the same boring sh*t, and just get annoyed with doing it.”

- “The reason why we crave foods is because we are not satisfied with what we are eating.”

- “If your doctor is telling you to take calcium but not add magnesium, do you know that that calcium is not being absorbed in the same way?”

Hello, Conquer Crew! I recently had a call with one of my mentors and our conversation got me thinking about the notion of building internal trust. So in this episode, I decided to explore how to build inner confidence, which is a crucial step in achieving our dreams and goals.

 

Although we all have desires and aspirations, oftentimes we don’t follow through on what we set out to do. Building trust within ourselves starts with showing up in those small things that, if done consistently, end up compounding into everlasting transformation.

 

We’ll also touch on the power of vulnerability, the importance of being genuine in our words, or why we should prioritize our own validation. Let's dive into this episode!

 

-- QUOTES –

- “Shame cannot live alongside vulnerability.”

- “When you connect with your feelings at an honest level, you are going to sore, because we hold back our emotions so much.”

- “Being open in a relationship that you trust is actually going to build the trust within yourself as well.”

- “Create the kind of self that you’ll be happy to live with all your life, because at the end of the day, you’re stuck with you for your whole lifetime, so you might as well become your best friend.”

Hello Conquer crew! Are you ready to transform your life and create habits that lead to long-term success? In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about how to build long-lasting habits that support you in your journey to greatness. All too often, we get caught up in our daily lives and it’s easy to get discouraged when we can’t make our habits stick. Even though these can sometimes prove uncomfortable, I assure you that habits are an exceptional strategy to make progress and get back in control of our lives. Similarly, through the life balance wheel exercise, you’ll also get a visual picture that will help you identify neglected areas of your life and map out a plan to integrate new routines and achieve a life with greater alignment.

- “It does take 21 days for a habit to start to form and feel good, so you need to allow yourself at least that amount of time in order to see results and feel good with it.”

- “Now is the time to not sit back and just want things, it is the time to take action and create these habits.”

Hello Conquer Crew! In this episode, I’m interviewing Kelsey Aida, a best-selling author, transformational facilitator, podcaster, blogger, and educator. She helps soul-centered women break through their stuck points, align with their highest potential, and manifest their dream life. During this conversation, Kelsey and I go through the key elements to cultivating your desired emotions, how Kelsey was able to raise her vibrations after an ultimatum with the universe, or how to craft manifestations that aren’t too removed from reality and raise our vibrations in a genuine way.

- “Even if I taught the same exact lessons that I do at the retreat via Zoom to people at their homes, it just wouldn’t land the same.”

I know you’ve done it. You’ve tried cutting carbs, several meal plans, intermittent fasting… Yet nothing seems to work. What else could you possibly do to lose weight?

 

I have worked with clients for almost 15 years to help them reach their fat loss goals, and transform their bodies and minds.

 

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my coaching career, is that the path to the body of your dreams might not be the one that you thought. In this episode, we are going to go through the main reasons why you aren’t hitting your weight loss goals.

 

Let’s make your body start showing up for you, just as you are showing up for it.

-- QUOTES –

- “The number of the scale does not define you. It’s simply a number.”

- “When you treat your body right, when you nourish your body, and when you are eating enough you don’t feel deprived, you don’t feel stressed, your body loves you back and it sits at that nice happy weight.”

- “If you are only eating 1200 calories and then you are exercising on top of that you most likely are doing your body no favors.”

- “If you are trying to save money, then you track your finances. If you are trying to lose weight and fat, then you need to track your food. You can’t expect to see results without tracking either one.”
