In this inspiring episode, Masters Olympia champions Kerryne Henich and Jessica Wilson open up about the hidden battles behind their world-class titles. From the emotional highs of victory and the sacrifices behind the stage to the importance of camaraderie, community, and perseverance in a sport often seen as isolating, they share a raw look at what it really means to compete at the top level. Their conversation touches on the cultural contrasts of competing abroad, the evolution of the Masters Olympia, and deeply personal struggles—including moments of self-doubt and resilience—that remind us bodybuilding is about far more than trophies: it’s about continuous growth, connection, and redefining strength at any age.
