If you've checked your body more than your bank account this week… we need to have a real conversation.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the truth about body dysmorphia after bodybuilding - especially the part no one talks about. The post-show weight gain. The scale obsession. The body checking. The comparing yourself to your stage photos at 10PM like it's a full-time job.

In this episode, we talk about what body dysmorphia actually looks like for competitors and extreme dieters. I break down the daily rituals that quietly make it worse - constant weighing, body checking, zooming in on photos, pinching, posing, comparing to peak week. These habits feel like "staying aware"… but they're actually keeping you stuck.

If you're ready to rebuild food trust, train for real life, and finally feel strong and hot without being trapped in your old bodybuilding identity - I've got you!
