In this episode, Mike welcomes Tamara Vanleeuwen, an Ontario native, 3 time stage physique competitor in both figure and women's physique, nutrition coach, personal trainer, powerlifter, and mother of three. We document her 11 month journey that included 3 shows, intense diet and training, self-discovery, and a whole lot more. Tamara gives an in-depth, emotional account of her progress and the ups and downs that come with prepping for stage competition. We also apply these highs and lows to more casual dieters and how the same struggles can appear on a different level. Tamara is very inspiring, open, and humble in documenting her journey. Thank you, Tamara!

In this very special episode, Mike takes the podcast on a bit of a turn and speaks with delivery nurse, Susan Jablonski, who'd recently been saved by Christ. We discuss traumatic experiences, mental illness, eating disorders, obsession with self, the emptiness of external validation, and many other difficult factors that ended up paving the way for her to find Jesus, a sense of purpose, and contentment within herself. Regardless of your views or history with religion, spirituality or any other form of divinity, this is worth some attention, just for the sake of how one is capable of finding clarity amidst times of confusion, hopelessness and despair.

We'll discuss the convoluted nature of modern diet culture, finding the right purpose, and falling in love with the process over the results.
