Today I speak with IFBB Pro Angela Rutherford, a coach for FitBody Fusion, who started competing in 2012 in a natural federation called NANBF, in figure. She switched to the NPC and bikini in 2013 and did her first National show at the end of the season, where she got last callouts. After taking time off to improve her physique, she returned to the stage in 2017 and competed in multiple National shows before taking a break to start her family. Her daughter was born in 2020 and just 15 months later, she returned to the stage in both bikini and wellness. After placing better in Wellness, she decided to focus on that division, but then became pregnant with her son. She made her comeback this year and finally earned her Pro card at 2023 Junior Nationals.

Angela shares about how she balances motherhood, coaching and bodybuilding. You don’t want to miss this episode!
