WE ARE BACK PEOPLE! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year, despite the circumstances and were able to connect with those you love. Also I got a JAZZY new intro - do you love it?

First episode back for the year and it’s a great one! This week I sat down with the wonderful Na’iyma Chew who is an IFBB Bikini Pro as well as bikini prep and mindset coach all the way from Florida, USA. She is also the owner of her own active wear line called My Affirmation Fitwear.

I love Na’iyma’s outlook on pretty much everything. She has an incredible positive and generous outlook on life and a passion for this sport that shines through in everything she does. She has some great tips for truly believing in your power and also finding your purpose as a competitor, which ultimately led her to creatine the Stage Ready Blueprint.

We spoke about:⁠

• Approaching goal setting with abundance mindset
• How Na’iyma got started in competing and her journey
• Different types of support from different people
• Four years to turn pro and her mindset around turning pro
• Internal validation over external validation
• Believing in herself as a pro and showing up as a pro for a year before getting her card
• Taking time off to build a family
• Advice for prioritising as a competitor
• Becoming a bikini prep and mindset coach
• The importance of mindset coaching for competitors
• Her Stage Ready Blueprint and how feeling lost as a competitor inspired her to create it
• Why you need to understand your why
• Why Na’iyma started The Bikini Diaries Podcast 

And SOOO much more!⁠
