In today’s episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Olesya Sun, a former Ultra Music Festival dancer turned personal trainer, posing coach, and psychological and spiritual wellbeing coach. Olesya began competing in 2014, took her first shot at nationals in 2017, and after becoming a mom in 2020, she made a powerful return to the stage by earning her Pro card at NPC Universe in 2024 as a Masters athlete.
We dive into her journey of competing postpartum, how her background in dance helped shape her stage presence, and why she believes in finishing what you start. Olesya shares the lessons she's learned in motherhood, competing, and coaching while highlighting the importance of mindset, energy management, and embracing the present moment. Tune in for a heartfelt and empowering conversation full of depth, honesty, and resilience.
