Frank and I sit down with Pauline Nordin—a no-BS fitness trainer, bodybuilder, and advocate for real, achievable body goals. Pauline shares how a single Arnold Schwarzenegger magazine cover kickstarted her journey into bodybuilding and how her early life struggles shaped her disciplined mindset. We cover it all: her time on Sweden’s Biggest Loser, her straightforward philosophy on training and accountability, and her take on the myths surrounding celebrity trainers. Pauline doesn’t hold back as we talk about diet struggles, injury management, and the pressures of beauty standards. She also dives into more personal topics—sex drive, self-care, and the challenges women face in both fitness and life. It’s a raw, real conversation packed with insights you won’t want to miss.   Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro and Welcome 00:14 - Pauline’s Early Struggles & Motivation 01:11 - Finding Bodybuilding & Her Training Style 04:15 - Becoming a Trainer & TV Personality 07:04 - The Realities of Dieting 09:32 - Fitness Philosophy & Client Accountability 20:10 - Celebrity Trainers: Myths vs. Reality 22:59 - Staying Motivated & Setting Real Goals 38:35 - The Photoshop Problem & Body Image Pressure 39:05 - Pushing Back Against Beauty Standards 42:41 - Marriage, Growth, and Learning 45:07 - Meditation & Self-Understanding 48:44 - Managing Gout & Arthritis 51:25 - Sexual Independence & Self-Care 55:24 - Fitness, Online Coaching & Final Reflections
