Show Notes

This week’s episode is with the unreadily inspirational Daniella Murphy, who is a WBFF Fitness (soon to be IFBB!) competitor and personal trainer from Wollongong.

Dani has been through a lot in her life and her story is one of survival and determination.  I am eternally grateful to Dani for sharing it with me (and you!) - it was incredibly inspiring to listen to and I will be surprised if anyone doesn’t feel inspired to go out and conquer their goals after this.

TW: This episode touches on themes of domestic violence, sexual abuse and suicide so if you’re not in a place to listen to this now, please save it for another time 💕

In this episode, Dani and I cover:⁠

  • Prepping throughout COVID in 2020 and finally hitting the stage for the first time in 2021 
  • Journaling and manifesting her way to a top 10 placing!
  • Dani’s post show binging experience and concerns over developing disordered eating patterns
  • What she’s doing differently the second time around
  • Posing struggles!
  • Childhood trauma and building a survivor mentality - Dani’s incredible journey
  • Finding bodybuilding as part of the healing and growth journey
  • Falling in love with discipline and structure
  • If you want to heal… you need to deal
  • Doing everything with intention 
  • Feeling seen in other people’s journeys
  • Advice for first time competitors

And SOOO much more!⁠
