Ever wondered what brands are actually looking for and why your follower count probably isn't the problem?In this episode, I sit down with Archie James, Affiliate and Ambassador Manager at Emrald Labs, to get the full inside story on how brand partnerships actually work. Archie personally reviews every single application that comes through, up to 300 a month, so if anyone knows what gets you in and what gets you ignored, it's him.We get into all of it: why follower count is the wrong thing to focus on, the red flags that kill your chances before you've even finished your application, what a cold pitch should actually look like, and how to grow from a basic affiliate code into a genuine brand relationship.Archie also breaks down Emrald Labs' three ambassador tiers, what it takes to move up, and finishes with his honest top four supplement picks for anyone just getting started, including the one most people overlook completely.Whether you're chasing your first brand deal or want to level up the one you've already got, this episode will give you a real playbook to work from.In this episode:- Follower count myth, busted- The instant red flags that brands never say out loud- How to cold pitch a brand and actually get a response- What separates affiliates who grow from those who don't- Archie's top 4 Emrald Labs picks for beginnersDISCOUNTED SUPPLEMENTS: Use code SARAH15Emrald Labs InstagramEmrald Labs Affiliate Application⁠⁠⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode of The Comp Closet Podcast, I sit down with Kristen Otte - an athlete who did what most competitors spend years chasing… she earned her pro card in her very first show.But this conversation isn’t just about winning.We unpack what actually happened behind the scenes - from self-doubt and comparison, to post-show identity shifts, and the reality of what “locking in” really looks like.If you’re thinking about competing (or currently in prep), this is the honest perspective you need.What we cover:What it actually feels like to win your pro card first showWhy she didn’t think she’d even place top 10The biggest mistake first-time competitors makeComparison, posing workshops & the 2-week-out meltdownThe truth about discipline (that no one talks about)Post-show blues, weight gain & identity shiftWhy building muscle BEFORE prep matters more than prep itselfTransitioning from amateur to pro mindsetWhat she’d tell her younger self before her first prepKey takeaways:You don’t need to be “ready” to start - but you do need time to buildWhat you look like weeks out means nothing - show day is everythingDiscipline isn’t glamorous… it’s repetitive, boring, and consistentPost-show is often harder mentally than prepYour first show isn’t the end goal - it’s the beginningKristens Instagram⁠⁠⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

If you've ever white-knuckled your way through prep, nailed the stage, and then found yourself spiralling with food the moment it was over - this episode is going to hit differently.Today we're joined by Elin Granstrand, a binge-eating and body-image coach and behaviour specialist who works primarily with high-performing women and competitors. Elin has lived this from the inside, and now she helps women untangle what's really driving their relationship with food - because as she'll tell you, it almost never actually is about the food.In this conversation, Elin shares her own story of moving through the fitness and competitive world and reaching a turning point where she realised something deeper was going on. She breaks down what's actually happening in the body and nervous system of a chronic dieter or competitor who is constantly "holding it together" and then "losing control" - and why a stricter plan will only make it worse.We talk about the non-food signs that a competitor is dysregulated (ones she might write off as "just prep"), how the champion mindset that gets women to the stage can secretly fuel binge eating behind the scenes, and what actually needs to change for women who want to keep competing without destroying their relationship with food and their body.Elin also shares three accessible nervous system regulation practices, what to do if you're in the middle of a binge right now, and how to know when it's time to stop doing this alone.This is the conversation that so many competitors need but rarely get from their prep coaches.In this episode we cover:What binge eating in competitors is really about - and what's being missed by traditional prep cultureThe red flags Elin ignored in herself that she now spots instantly in clientsWhat happens in the nervous system during cycles of restriction and loss of controlHow to mentally and physiologically prepare for a show - not just physicallyWhy rebounding gets worse with more experience, not betterHow to hold a competitive edge without nervous system dysregulationPractical tools for regulation, and when to ask for professional supportElins InstagramElins Podcast⁠⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Katie Alexander didn't have a fairytale debut — she didn't even get a call-out. But instead of walking away, she made a decision that would define the next twelve months of her life. In this episode, she takes us inside the raw reality of going from first-time competitor to Pro Champion in a single season: the discipline, the sacrifice, the international stage, and the identity crisis that followed when it was all over.This is one of the most honest conversations we've had on the show. If you compete, want to compete, or love someone who does — this episode is for you.What We CoverThe Moment That Changed EverythingKatie revisits her October 2024 debut and the moment she realised she hadn't received a call-out. She shares what was going through her mind, why she chose not to treat it as a sign to quit, and how that show quietly planted the seed for everything that followed.The Decision to Go All InAfter that first show, Katie aligned every decision with one goal: earning her Pro card. She opens up about what that commitment looked like in practice — the daily sacrifices, the way competing consumed her identity, and whether she thinks that level of obsession was actually necessary to get where she wanted to go.Back-to-Back Shows & Rapid GrowthKatie competed in multiple shows across a single season, including on an international stage. She walks us through the results of each show, what the experience of back-to-back competing taught her about her body and her mind, and what it felt like to represent herself globally.Becoming a Pro ChampionThe moment she'd worked toward — winning her Pro title. Katie reflects on what that win actually meant, whether the journey felt as long as it was, and what crossed her mind when it became real.The Reality No One Talks AboutHere's where it gets honest. After achieving everything she'd set out to do, Katie didn't feel what she expected to feel. She talks about the post-season void, what "losing your identity" actually feels like when the shows are done and the structure disappears, and whether the goal delivered what she thought it would.Rebuilding Identity Beyond BodybuildingComing out the other side, Katie has been doing the work of reclaiming a life that prep had quietly taken over. She shares what that rebuilding has looked like in real terms — what she's reintroduced, what she's let go of, and whether she believes it's possible to be elite in this sport without letting it consume you.Mental Health & LongevityA candid conversation about what Katie has discovered about herself through the lens of mental health, whether she thinks other competitors are silently going through the same thing, and what she believes needs to change in the industry to genuinely support athletes long-term.Looking AheadShe's a Pro Champion — so what's next? Katie shares where her head is at for the season ahead and what she's building toward.Closing QuestionFor anyone chasing their Pro card right now and believing it will change everything — Katie has something she wants you to hear.Katies Instagram⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FM Studio

This one covers a lot of ground, and honestly, it's one of those conversations that stays with you.Courtney Farrell is a bikini competitor, newly minted pro, and qualified accountant who works with fitness professionals across Australia. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on a competing journey that has been anything but linear, including a big off-season commitment, going through IVF while staying in the sport, and the pressure she carried into her pro debut in Dubai.We get into the real emotional weight of competing, what it actually feels like to watch your body change when the goal is not stage-ready, and the perspective shift that comes with chasing a baby and a pro card at the same time.Then we switch hats.Courtney breaks down the financial side of competing that most athletes never think about until it is too late. If you run an online coaching business, there are legitimate ways to structure competition costs, and there are also common mistakes that cost people money every single year. She walks us through what can and cannot be claimed, why record-keeping during prep season matters more than most people realise, and what she would tell every competitor-coach to start doing today.Whether you are heading into your first show, sitting in a big off-season wondering if it is worth it, or trying to figure out how to make the finances of this sport work for your business, this episode has something for you.In this episode:What Courtney wishes she knew heading into her first showWhy she committed to a significant off-season and how that shaped her pro card journeyGoing through IVF during prep life and what it changed about the way she sees her bodyThe pressure she put on herself for Dubai and the advice she has for anyone doing the samePost-show recovery then versus nowWhat fitness business owners can and cannot claim around competingThe financial mistakes she sees competitors making repeatedlyHer top tips for reducing comp costs without cutting cornersCourtneys InstagramEmandem's InstagramBook a Call with CourtneySocial Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The hardest part of bikini prep isn’t the training, the food, or the cardio… it’s the mental side.In this episode, I’m breaking down the real side of bikini competition prep that no one talks about online. As a natural bikini pro currently prepping for FMG Gold Coast and FMG Italy, I’m sharing what actually happens behind the scenes of bodybuilding prep, from mindset challenges to post-show struggles, body changes, and the reality of stepping on stage to be judged.If you’re thinking about competing, currently on prep, or just curious about what bikini prep is really like, this is everything I wish I knew before I started.This sport has completely changed my life, but it’s also extreme. And you deserve to know what you’re signing up for.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sleep Aid - Emrald Labs (DC: SARAH15)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Today’s episode is a little different.If you’ve listened to The Comp Closet Podcast before, you’ll know that I usually sit down with other competitors to share their journeys.But over the past year I’ve had a lot of people ask me the same question:“Sarah, what’s your story?”So in this episode I’m sharing my full journey - from being someone who was terrified of the gym, to stepping on stage for the first time, to eventually earning my pro card and competing internationally.This conversation goes deeper than just bodybuilding. I talk about the hardest period of my life, the lessons this sport has taught me about resilience, patience and delayed gratification, and why I believe nobody starts as a bodybuilder - it’s something you build over time.• Life before fitness - university, health struggles and losing my dad in a car accident• The moment I realised something in my life needed to change• Walking into the gym for the first time and hiring my first coach• My first bodybuilding prep (and having shows cancelled during COVID)• Finally stepping on stage and placing 5th in my first competition• The moment I realised I might actually be able to go pro• Selling my car to afford flights to Texas to chase my pro card• The long build phase that followed and why build phases are the hardest part of bodybuilding• My pro debut and competing internationally in Dubai• The reality of bodybuilding - financially, physically and mentally• Why I started The Comp Closet• Advice for first-time competitors• What I wish I knew about recovery and sleep earlier in my career• Bikini competitions• Natural bodybuilding• Comp prep and stage life• The real journey behind competing• Or building discipline and resilience through fitnessThis episode will give you an honest look at what the sport actually involves.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sarah Moore (Host) Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sleep Aid - Emrald Labs (DC: SARAH15)⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media Coaching, Management & Sponsorships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Cost Planner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Marketplace - Buy & Sell Stage Wear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Community for Competitors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Comp Closet Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
