Hello friends - It’s been a hot minute but I am back with the next instalment of PREP FILES where I take you with me on my journey to the WBFF stage in October.

It’s been a roller coaster to say the least - a lot of fun highs, but also a few lows (and tears, can’t forget the tears). While it has undoubtedly been a rocky few weeks I am in a really good place right now and pumped to update you on it all!

Some of the things I cover off in this episode:

When life gets in the way
Effects of stress on prep results
Implementing an ‘active’ mindset and taking control
Importance of journaling and meditating
My biggest wins, challenges and lessons right now
The return of my acne, booo!
Full update on my stats, condition and everything I’ve booked for my comp
Listener Q&A! Including:
- What is your biggest struggle so far?
- Do you get worried what people think, i’m scared to say i’m competing cause i am not lean
- How is training going?
- Do you ever feel like not training? How do you over come it?
- How to manage mood swings post comp - I need help, the outbursts are real

And PLENTY more weird and wonderful things as usual.
