Ep351 BEST OF Part 2 (9 guests 80 mins - Dec 10 ’24)

Welcome back for episode # 24 of BBD with T!

On this week’s podcast Tyarra interviews IFBB bikini athlete and paramedic Marlette Le-Feuvre!

Listen in to hear Marlette tell the (hilarious) stories of her bodybuilding journey to date, including her various experiences from doing back-to-back seasons and travelling internationally to chase her dreams of winning an IFBB Bikini Pro Card.

Marlette transparently speaks in detail about all of the lessons she's learnt during her years of competing and describes how it has shaped her into the determined athlete that she is today. She talks about how she's been able to use her skills as a paramedic to cope with unpredicted show day stress, her rationale for changing coaching teams and push aside the opinions of others, how it takes courage to stand on stage when you know it's not your best package and much, MUCH more!

This was such a fun conversation to have with Marlette and I'm certain that as a listener you will find immense inspiration and entertainment from listening in!

164: Ranking Christmas Gifts For Bodybuilders

Welcome back for episode # 25 of BBD with T!

On this week’s podcast Tyarra interviews IFBB bikini athlete, comp prep coach & powerlifting coach Jas Paterson!

Tune into this episode to hear Jas vulnerably share her background story and how she has been able to personally battle and overcome an eating disorder. Jas transparently opens up and speaks about the struggles she's faced in the past with poor body image, a warped relationship with food, and dieting adherence during her bodybuilding journey. She talks about the process she undertook to rise above these challenges with the help of professionals and personal development to now be the woman, coach, and competitor she is today!

This conversation with Jas was emotional, raw and real. I'm sure so many listeners will respect her vulnerability and will be inspired by her determination to compete and coach as an IFBB bikini athlete now that she's been able to do the inner-work and improve her mental health. She truly sets an amazing example for other competitors and her clients!
