Have you ever thought about competing in a bodybuilding show?? In this episode, I discuss some things that you should think about before competing in a bodybuilding show.  

This is a post- Valentine's Day Episode where I discuss the benefits and different ways to love yourself :) Know Your Power Journal Savage Babe Collection

Ever wonder it's like dating a bodybuilder? In this episode, we will be diving into our relationship and speak about what it is like dating a bodybuilder. We discuss/answer 10 questions listed below submitted from our listeners. 1. What were your first thoughts/ feelings when Marisa said she wanted to start bodybuilding?  2. Is there a strict diet you have to follow? If so, does that make going out to dinner difficult?  3. What does your fridge look like if you have a strict diet and he doesn't?  4. First of all, I LOVE that you’re doing an episode about bodybuilding & dating. I dated a pro bodybuilder & it was my most challenging relationship. Now that I’m a bodybuilder myself, trying to date is even more challenging. I’d love to hear y’all talk about how to still show up in a relationship when you or your partner is in prep 5. Does it affect your dating life with each other? You can’t go out to eat/no drinking?  6. Does it bother you that Marisa spends so much time in the gym? 7. Do you think someone needs to be secure with themselves dating a bodybuilder? Specifically if your partner is on stage with a small bikini? 8. How did you feel about Marisa's physique changing?  9. What was Marisa like on prep?  10. What advice do you have on how partners can support their bodybuilding partners? Do you like that Marisa is going to continue bodybuilding?

When you notice your negative self-talk, would you tell your 17 year old self that? In this episode we discuss mindset and how we choose to speak to ourselves. Recognizing the wins and the growth from the losses.

So for anyone who is confused because when I heard the term Wellness as a division for a sport like bodybuilding- I was confused. When I hear the term “wellness” I think of a person who likes to keep a healthy lifestyle. But in bodybuilding Wellness is a division for women to compete in. In this episode we talk about why I chose the division Wellness to compete in.

People always ask me “Omg Marisa how do you stay on track with your meal plan, omg Marisa I don't know how you eat healthy all the time”.  Before I hired a coach, I was not sticking to a meal plan. I probably had stuck with a meal plan for a week at most my entire life. In this episode we discuss what helps me stay consistent with my meal plan now.

In this episode we discuss my tip number 2 on staying consistent with the gym/goals :) Here is the link if anyone is interested in the book I mention that helped me to stay on track with the gym/goals!

Have any of you experienced thinking about new years resolutions, or new goals and you tell yourself you are super serious and will follow through this time. But then Jan 1st hits, or Monday hits and you just push the start date back, you find a reason to not do it that day, so it doesn't happen. Then this starts a trend or snowball effect of finding more reasons why to not start. Then three months later we’re like shiiii its already March and I still havent started the goal that I told myself I would do on January 1st. This episode is for those who are starting new goals either today, or planning new years resolutions and you are serious about sticking to your goals this year, or maybe already know this and just need a reminder, a refresher. 

Have you ever thought you were giving all your effort towards a goal, and did not get the results you were working so hard towards?  That is something that had been happening to me for years.  In this episode I share my story reminding myself and listeners that underdogs can win.
