Extreme dieting and contest prep might look glamorous on stage, but the reality is often very different. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the truth about restrictive diets, binge eating, and why so many women struggle with food during prep and after the show.

If you've ever felt stuck in the all-or-nothing fitness cycle, battled food guilt, or wondered if sustainable fat loss is even possible, this conversation is for you. I'll share what I've seen coaching thousands of women, the red flags to look out for, and how to build a healthier relationship with food without going to extremes.
