#42 Naomi Zee-McKillop, WBFF Bikini: how to set and smash your goals, competing won’t fix your issues, unnecessary prep ‘hacks’
Naomi is an online coach, accredited sport nutritionist, certified women’s specialist personal trainer, podcast host and ‘attempted’ YouTuber (her words not mine, haha!). So great to get to know this lovely gal a bit more after knowing each other through social media for so long.
We both get pretty real and honest about some of the struggles of some of our preps in this episode and there are plenty of learnings/take aways for new competitors. Naomi is highly motivated through her the ups and downs of her own experiences and her ultimate goal in life is to help as many women as possible become the best version of themselves while healing their relationship with food and their bodies.
We spoke about:
- Naomi’s podcast - Let’s Be Real - and what it’s all about!
- Why Naomi started competing
- Why competing won’t necessarily ‘fix’ your issues
- Weird and unnecessary prep ‘hacks’
- Learning valuable lessons through prep
- Reverse diet rollercoasters & binge eating
- Why she chose to get breast implants (and also why she later chose to remove them)
- Changing coaches mid-prep
- An obsession with winning which led her to going against her values
- How and why she got into mindset work, such as gratitude, meditating and journaling
- Will Naomi compete again?
- Setting goals for competitors
- Her one piece of advice to her younger self
And SOOO much more!
