S7 E2: Leslie Fhima, from the Golden Bachelor, but so much more than a contestant

For anyone who has watched, heard about, or read about the Golden Bachelor, one statement is true: you likely fell in love with Leslie Fhima. Leslie is a Minnesota born and raised, 65-year-old woman who has always been willing to try something new to explore where it may take her. As a young figure skater, it was her dream to be a part of the Ice Follies, a touring ice show with elaborate productions, which she auditioned for and joined for 2 years following high school. In the 80s, she opened up Leslie’s Shape Shop, an aerobics studio, after training with Jane Fonda, and continued her journey as a personal trainer and fitness instructor with LifeTime. Leslie Fhima and co-host, Lisa Rubin, have been extremely close friends since high school. As Lisa would say, “Leslie is always reinventing herself and ahead of her time”.  In this episode, we hear more about Leslie’s upbringing and her past that brought her to the person we were introduced to on national television. We learn about the friendships fostered from the Golden Bachelor, her feelings today towards Gerry, the behind the scenes of the clothing, hair and makeup on the show, and what is next for Leslie. She is authentically and truly herself (Lisa can attest to that).  Our Non Profit Spotlight: World Food Program (wfpusa.org)  DISCLOSURE: This episode was recorded before the news of Gerry and Theresa’s break up. Co-Host, Katie Harms, also shares her personal experience with using Vella (S6 E11). __ Katie Harms @ [email protected], www.katieharms.com or Lisa Rubin @ [email protected], www.wardrobeconsulting.net .
