October 29, 2019 06:30 - 1 hour - 84.5 MB

A Balance Between Family Life and Competing Balancing between family, love life and career is a topic that continues to be addressed over and over again. Amidst chasing dreams and success, families are facing more and more challenges that come about lack of balance in our professional life and family life.

Finding Passion Finding passions is not a new topic. But it's a difficult one. When asked, most people cannot point to a single thing as their passion. However, this should not worry you.

So, at whichever point in your life you find your passion, quickly abandon the routine that leaves you unfu...

October 08, 2019 06:30 - 1 hour - 82.5 MB

Was It By Chance Or Is This My Destiny? Meaningful and strong relationships take time and effort to build. If left unseasoned, cultivated, and taken care of, a relationship can go crumbling in a blink.

By developing powerful relationships with others, you will be more successful, feel...

Life Before The Big Comeback You may have heard this enough times but it's worth mentioning. Competing is a race. But you should stick to your own path, and run at your own pace. For this reason, goal setting is critical when deciding to engage in the sport. It's quite important to have an end result specific to what you want to eventually achieve.

July 09, 2019 06:30 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Know Your Own Ability Everyone is designed with their own ability, but the thing is, you must push yourself to recognize it - if you already haven't. It is only when you have identified your ability that you can fully realize what you are capable of. Without constantly trying and putting in the work, you will not be able to know what you are good at and how far you can stretch. While fear and lack of confidence cannot be ignored when it comes to reaching your full potential, it is also i...

June 18, 2019 06:30 - 1 hour - 104 MB

From Bikini Pro to Figure Pro with Ashley Wiens Competing should be a choice not a coerce — by yourself or anybody else. And you have to make the right choice. "How I do that?" You ask. You do that by asking yourself the right questions, such as: Why should I compete? Do I have what it takes to compete in bodybuilding? What is my goal? In which category should I compete?  When you catch a glimpse of the alluring pictures of bodybuilders, there's no doubt: bodybuilding is a sport that you...

Evolve Welcome back to another mind-blowing but life-changing episode.  To succeed, you must consider setting relevant and attainable goals. That's not all. You must commit to those goals to bring them to fruition.

It's therefore important to develop a positive mindset and habits necessary to carry you through the journey. Now, to the big quest...

The Power of Persistence  Let's start at the beginning. What are your goals in this sport? We all have set goals in this sport as bodybuilders - if your name is missing in the "ALL" list, please take time to reflect on what you want to achieve as a competitor.  More often than not, we work vigorously toward the goals that we set out to realize. But along the way we encounter obstacles, and we eventually give up and call it quits. Such obstacles might include struggling to stay the preppi...

045: All the Things About Bikini Judging With Robyn Maher

May 21, 2019 06:30 - 1 hour - 121 MB

All The Things About Bikini Judging  In all the previous episodes, we have solely focused on competitors and how you can become a successful competitor. Today, we get to shift gear a little bit and focus on something different – judging. When you hit the stage in your best competitive self – probably chasing after the first call out –  you're in a competition. That means a judge gets to evaluate and score how well you have performed amongst a group of equally competitive girls.  That sai...

Its a Hard Knock Life  Have you ever been in a situation where you felt your life was in shambles and you were out of ideas on how to fix it? Life can feel unbearable sometimes. It may not even be possible for you to comprehend how you got there in the first place. Whether you just hit a wall, or you just screwed things up, it can get so overwhelming to an extent you just want to bury your head under the safety of your covers, never to leave. Worse still if your rights and freedom are curt...

For the first time in Bikini Diaries, we get to hear from someone living on the other side of the planet. What excitement! Now, think about these two scenarios: You want to do something and you have widely available opportunities - all you have to do is put in the work. On the other hand, you want to do something but you have limited opportunities.  While bikini competition may be popular in some parts of the world with diverse platforms where you can accumulate your points, this is not ...

April 23, 2019 14:07 - 1 hour - 123 MB

The Unforgettable Comeback: "I Made it to The Olympia 9 Months Postpartum" Let's face it. Most girls struggle with the thought of halting their career to start a family. While some have it all figured out that they will start a family at a certain point in their life, maternity leave, additional childcare cost, postpartum depression, etc. overwhelmingly brings them a hodgepodge of emotions.

How Being A Perfectionist Can Make You Forget To Stop And Smell The Roses Do you ever pause and reflect? Or just appreciate where you have come from? Or even take a moment to assess areas of your life that are underdeveloped or neglected? As most of us may have experienced, there's hardly enough time in the day to do everything.

Can You Make It To The Top All Natural? As a sport, bodybuilding has evolved over the years to attract thousands of competitors. Despite this fact, many competitors still beg the question, is it possible to become a crackerjack in the sport while walking the natural bodybuilding route?  "What does that even mean?" You ask.

Boys, Obey The Booty! Ladies, let's talk boys. When having conversations around being successful in this sport, quite often we pay attention to workouts and having a supportive coach. But having a supportive partner should be part of the conversation too.

March 05, 2019 07:30 - 1 hour - 84.3 MB

Mother of 5 and Fabulous  I can't compete because: I'm too old. I'm a mother of x number of children. The sport is for younger girls with a lot of energy. These are just but few excuses in the ocean of excuses that women hide behind. But really, can you compete while a bit older?  To be honest with you, this sport is not age restrictive. Whether 40, 50, 60,……yes, you can compete. Yes, you heard me! Just like you can achieve your dreams at any age, similarly, in this sport there's always ...

HOW TO DEVELOP A WINNING MENTALITY It's absolutely everyone's goal to win. I kid you not. I have not heard anyone claim they just want to finish their race. Everyone I talk to compete with anticipation to win.

February 12, 2019 05:30 - 1 hour - 93.1 MB

Journey to self-acceptance Quite often we hear phrases like “if you don't love yourself, no one will love you” or “you must love yourself.” But what does that even mean? Honestly, there is no standard meaning of self-love or self-acceptance. Each and every person has a different way of expressing love to themselves.  It is, however, important to note that this is not something that you can derive from the number of followers you have on social media, or the way you dress, or the expensiv...

49 and Still Competing You might have contemplated quitting competing after a certain age…or you might have felt it’s too late to start. But you know what? Age is just but a number.

January 22, 2019 12:36 - 1 hour - 107 MB

How I Gained 30 Pounds In 6 Days Post Show For you to perform optimally, you have to prepare adequately. Well, it goes without saying that the lack of adequate prepping is the best recipe for failure. Don’t get me wrong. Prepping for a competition can be a huge challenge. But with the right mindset, the right support, and putting in the work, it can only get easier.  I need to mention that preparation applies to both pre and post-shows.

There’s more to life than Competing As competitors, we can easily bury ourselves into competing. Competition after competition, our goal is to do better than we did previously. Therefore, we find ourselves working even harder, with intentions of bringing our best selves out. But is taking a break necessary? Should you do anything else besides competing? Actually, just take a minute and ask yourself if what you’re doing aligns with your goals.  Does it?  While some might view taking a b...
