Summary
There are so many incredible reasons why you may consider competing or making your return to the stage. It has been my experience from over the years that there are a few key tactics to compete smarter, not harder. Also in this episode, I dive deep into the dieting mindset I have adopted to stay on track for my competitions and adherent to my fitness goals. It all boils down to the season of life you are currently in; set your mind to what you want, make the necessary yet momentary sacrifices, and you will be so surprised how much sweeter the finish line is.

| 0:16.7 | and I am so happy to be here today. It is a Friday. It's the afternoon. I have done all my cardio. I've done all of my training. My food is on point today. I crushed it in my work today. And I'm just feeling incredible. I'm feeling amazing. And I feel like I've just like felt so good recently. And I'm so thankful for that because oftentimes competition |
| 0:39.8 | prep gets this really bad rap that you feel terrible all the time. And I think that there are |
| 0:45.1 | definitely those time periods throughout prep where that happens. If you follow my YouTube channel, |
| 0:50.1 | I share that with you guys and you definitely have seen a lot of the hard moments at prep. |
| 0:55.0 | And not to say that there's not still hard moments, but on a day-to-day basis, I'm just, |
