#21 Taliha Paige WBFF Fitness: working when no one is watching, knowing your purpose, finding the right sponsor, training mistakes & more!

I FINALLY got the chance to sit down with the amazing Taliha Paige, who is a WBFF Fitness competitor and owner of TPaige Apparel. I make no secret of the fact that I think Taliha is a total legend and was so pumped to chat to her about her competing journey, some of the things she has learned along the way and get a bit more insight into her awesome mindset.

I cant wait for COVID to be over so the two of us can tear up a mosh pit or ten if I’m honest!

In this episode we cover:
- Iso/lockdown mindsets and focusing on the now
- Being consumed by the media/social media and distancing ourselves to cope
- Taliha’s comp being cancelled (again!)
- What would comps during COVID look like?
- Advice for competitors with shows cancelled
- Taliha’s competing history and why she hasn’t stepped on stage in 3 years
- Being both mentally and physically ready before committing to a prep
- Getting your calories in a good place before prep
- Learning to train properly
- Managing spondylosis and figuring out ways to train without pain
- Training mistakes over the years
- Gym anxiety and training without ego
