#13 Holly Jeans Part Time Bodybuilder host & IFBB Bikini: dating & competing, offseason mindset, learning confidence, 4000cal diet, binge eating post-comp & SO MUCH MORE

This week’s podcast was a special one for me! I got the opportunity to interview my dear friend Holly Jeans, who is the host of her very own podcast – Part Time Bodybuilder.⁠
⁠
We left no stone unturned and covered so much ground in this episode – the summary below just doesn’t do it justice. ⁠

Love the friendship Holly and I have developed over the last few months across the seas! Can't wait to meet one day in person too!⁠
⁠
In this episode we chat about:⁠
- Her very impressive DIY home gym set up ⁠
- Mentality around offseason⁠
- Taking two years between shows to improve and her mindset around that⁠
- Her 4000cal diet (!!!), food choices and relationships with food⁠
- Meal plans vs IIFYM⁠
- Holly’s journey from modelling, to CrossFit to bodybuilding⁠
- Recovering back a back injury⁠
- How and why our confidence has increased through competing⁠
- Mastering your mindset through practice⁠
- Her competing journey⁠
- Binge/restrict cycle and reverse dieting⁠
- Prepping for the wrong reasons⁠
- The impact of stress on prepping and the body⁠
- Deciding to take two years off competing⁠
- Being tragically single and managing relationships/dating with prep⁠
