ARIELLE ANN; Love in Loss, Respect the Journey, Second Callouts to Pro Card

05/19/23 • 61 min

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Arielle Ann Johnson, a momma of two amazing children and the first IFBB Bikini Pro from North Dakota. Growing up doing pageants and collegiate gymnastics and cheerleader, Arielle is no stranger to the stage. She first competed in 2019 and went on to compete in her first National show where she got second callouts. After taking time off, she came back in 2021 and experienced the loss of her boyfriend, Ty. After a short break, she then returned to the National circuit and eventually won her Pro Card at 2022 Nationals.

Arielle has faced a lot of challenges but bodybuilding has provided her a space to prioritize her mental health. She is so open and honest about her journey and struggles. You don’t want to miss this episode!
