Welcome back to another episode! This week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies is full of updates!! Gillian is back from Denver Colorado after competing in her first IFBB Bikini Pro show, the Mile High Pro, and Mandy has also returned from Colorado where she underwent a very successful egg retrieval procedure! Gillian reflects on her experience at her first pro show and how it differed from prior show experiences as an NPC amateur. She details some of the travel challenges, food prep hacks while away from home, show day details, judge feedback and the emotional toll of competition. Mandy shares the updates in her IVF journey and the challenges she has experienced both physically and mentally! We talk about the vast difference in our lives this year versus last year but how the complexities that exist in both IVF and bodybuilding are challenging and the highs and lows of both are quite comparable- we are so lucky to have each other and our amazingly supportive audience who supports us through all phases of our lives!
We also touch on the impact of the pressure and expectation in the sport of bodybuilding and how this can affect both mental health and the backstage dynamic can be intense! While its common to make long lasting connections at shows and a sense of camaraderie exists among athletes, the pressures and expectations that come with competing at higher levels can cause a tense backstage environment. We share some strategies for dealing with this and overall it’s important to enjoy competition day- you’ve worked hard for it…go out there and have FUN!!

On this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are joined by Shayla Hunt, a rising star in the NPC Fit Model Division. Shayla, who has been referred to as the “prototype” has already claimed three Fit Model overall titles this season, shares her unique journey from bikini and figure to fit model, and the challenges she faced along the way, including a serious health scare after following a dangerous protocol in her prior years as a bikini competitor. Shayla shares some of the critique and feedback she has received as one of the pioneers of the Fit Model Division and explains how the fit model look requires a balance of muscle and marketability.
Shayla is a military spouse, a mama of 3 as well as a surrogate mother to a 3 year old girl and discusses how she balances family life with her personal goals, and the emotional complexities of surrogacy. Shayla shares the touching story of how she embarked on the journey of carrying a child for a complete stranger- a true act of selflessness, Shayla shares how this journey brought unexpected emotional challenges but was an indescribable experience and act of love and kindness. Shayla’s story is one of resilience and determination, and we were so lucky to have snagged some of her time as she prepares to make a run for her Fit Model Pro Card at Jr Usa’s on May 31, 2025!

On this week’s episode we are back on the mic after an exciting weekend seeing friends, past clients and coaching our incredible team of competitors at the NPC Midwest Championships in St Louis! We’re catching you up on what we’ve been up to: Mandy’s growing farm and Gillian’s prep for her IFBB bikini pro debut in just over a month’s time!
As coaches, we share some insight into how we help our athletes develop confidence for the stage and how preparedness can differ from readiness on your contest prep journey. We discuss the importance of being able to openly communicate with your coach having trust in them and the process, as well as the value in experience over immediate success in the sport of bodybuilding. While every athlete dreams of taking home that first place medal, we share our insight on why we feel the emphasis should not be on placings, rather, the personal growth experienced on the journey to the stage!

On this week’s episode we are joined by IFBB Bikini Pro Marisa Ross, a woman with an incredible story of resilience and determination. Marisa is a wife and mother of 3 who earned her IFBB pro card at her second competition, NPC Masters Nationals in 2023. Marisa wasted no time getting her feet wet in the pro league and took home a pro win just the next year in the Masters Pro 50+ division at the Klash!
Marisa developed a love for the bodybuilding lifestyle in her teenage years but it wasn’t until she escaped an abusive marriage, navigated life as a single mom and overcame the challenges associated with menopause that she finally pursued what was a lifelong dream of getting on stage! In this episode we discuss the significant impact of menopause on her mental and physical health and how finding the right provider gave her back her zest for life! We know that so many women can relate to the struggle of self-worth and self-efficacy as well as the stigma of aging- Marisa is a true ROCK STAR and her journey shows us that it's never too late to pursue your passions.

In this week’s episode, we are discussing the mental aspects of bodybuilding, including the emotional struggles that can arise during prep, such as anxiety and depression. We touch on many aspects of mental health as an athlete including

Have you ever felt held back by self sabotage and unable to progress due to the pressure and high or unreasonable expectations you have placed on yourself and your competition prep journey? In this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are diving deep into the struggle of self sabotage and discussing how pressure and expectations can lead to self-doubt and derail progress on a competitor's journey to the stage. This is something that both of us have personally experienced and we share the helpful tips that we have found useful to our success and the success of our clients! Ultimately, the development of mental fortitude in competition prep will lead to a positive mindset AND positive experience! We encourage our audience to focus on their journey and the process rather than just the outcome or placing. Prep is challenging but SO rewarding and teaches us lessons that we carry into other aspects of our lives!

Have you ever questioned why the things you have always done to lose fat, stay fit, get stage ready just don’t seem to work anymore? Are you in midlife and concerned that these changes in your body could impact your competition prep or overall health? On this week’s episode we are again joined by IFBB Bikini Pro Simone Maman from Balance and Body Diagnostics and diving deep into the topic of perimenopause! Simone joined us in Episode 55 for an informative episode regarding competition prep and your hormones and you find that episode here:

Since our interview with Simone was jam packed with so much info, we split the recording into two episodes, designating this week’s episode to the topic of perimenopause!
Our expert Simone Maman is a wife, a mom of 5 and is a Functional Health Practitioner, Holistic and Sports Nutritionist, and Eating Psychology Coach. Simone earned her IFBB bikini pro card in 2013 at the Canadian Natural Pro Qualifier, and while Simone had previously decided to retire from competitive bodybuilding, she has plans to return to the stage in 2026 in the IFBB Fit Model Division! Simone and her business partner Angelica founded Balance and Body Diagnostics after seeing the need for functional lab testing and wellness protocols for female athletes, specifically in the bodybuilding space. They encourage athletes to “test not guess” and help female athletes all over the world thrive in their preps without sacrificing their health!
This episode touches on several key takeaways for perimenopausal athletes on their fitness journey including:

In this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are talking about something we ALL tend to talk about at SOME point in our fitness journey- weight gain! We are discussing our failed reverses, how to execute and strategize your offseason and the need for a healthy mindset and body image during your time away from the stage as a competitor. We are diving deep into the complexities of an athlete’s mindset at all stages of their fitness journey, how this can vary for women in different age groups and how social media can play a role in how we see ourselves during our improvement seasons. You’ll learn from our personal experiences as athletes and as coaches for female competitors as we discuss the role of a caloric surplus for muscle gain, insights on hormonal health during prep, the emotional challenges of weight fluctuations for competitors, and the significance of celebrating off-season bodies!
