More Than a Bikini Body: Food, Freedom, & Fierce Competing w/ Nicole Ferrier
Description
She loves the grind, the discipline, the chase, and she’s here for some real talk about what most people don’t see behind the bikini prep. In this powerful episode of Fresh & Fired Up, we sit down with online fitness coach and bikini athlete Nicole Ferrier (@nicoleferrierfitness), host of Beyond the Bikini Podcast, to uncover the truth about chasing the "perfect body." From high school disordered eating to stepping on stage, Nicole opens up about the mental rollercoaster of body image, food fears, perfectionism, and reclaiming health after competing.
We dig deep into:
- Physical vs mental food restriction
- The myths around bodybuilding and macros
- What happens to your body (and brain) after a show
- How to find peace with weight fluctuations and body image
- The emotional toll of external validation, social media, and body-focused identities
- Why body neutrality is powerful—and how to get there
- How to embrace the process of fitness, not just the outcome
Whether you’re a coach, competitor, or simply a woman working through body image battles—this one will shift your perspective.
