Welcome back for episode # 16 of BBD with T!

On this week’s podcast Tyarra interviews IFBB bikini athlete Jess Mahoney!

Tune in to hear this super fun chat between Jess and Tyarra talking all things IFBB bikini and Jess’s journey as an athlete! Jess talks in depth about her experiences working full-time as an international flight attendant for QANTAS during her most recent comp prep and how she navigated weekly international travel with training, meal prep, posing, check-ins, cardio, steps and the like! It truly is inspirational how Jess was able to pursue her career with such an amazing  “CAN AND WILL DO!” attitude and achieve high-level placings both nationally and internationally, winning both open classes and just narrowly missing out on her IFBB bikini pro card.

This conversation with Jess really helps to put things into perspective when it comes to applying work ethic, passion, and determination to conquer your goals in the sport of bodybuilding and not convincing yourself that you need to sacrifice your life goals in the process. YOU. CAN. DO. BOTH. if you set your mind to it - and thoroughly enjoy the fun challenges along the way!

Welcome back for episode # 17 of BBD with T!

On this week’s podcast Tyarra interviews IFBB bikini athlete Bree Watson!

Tune in to learn about Bree’s background story on how she grew up as an athlete, competing on national-level stages across a multitude of sports for over a decade before transitioning into bodybuilding. Bree talks in depth about how the choices she made during her adolescence regarding training, nutrition, and the relationship she had with food and her body majorly helped to develop her strong muscular base, level-headedness, and competitive mindset. This explains why she was such a hard-working and coachable athlete who trusted the process during her first-ever IFBB bikini season, and how her plan of attack was able to result in such an impressive package for a junior to present on stage.

Bree is an athlete with enormous potential and a long-term vision in this sport and I’m sure the listeners will enjoy listening to this conversation!
