We are back talking all things serious and silly with another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! Mom Chat edition! It’s been over a month since we recorded as Abbie’s family was all sick! In this episode #75 Abbie and I once again lay out everything controversial. Starting right off the bat with the story of John Money who is labeled the first man to perform gender reassignment surgery. Tied to this we talk about Abigail Schrier’s book “Irreversible Damage” where she investigates the transgender craze plaguing our teenage children. To be clear we  are not dismissing the reality of transgender people or their pain or struggle transitioning after years of therapy. This is about how easily children can decide their gender and go through with a hormonal transition when they can’t even legally vote, drive, drink, get married, etc. Once again the topic of abortion comes up, with all the “women’s marches” going on recently all over the country. Yes we believe abortion is murder.Then enter the topic of endocrine disrupters, with a special “guest appearance” from our friend and holistic NP Tara Woodland to share in a voice message about thermal receipt paper. Oh the BPA!! Don’t touch your receipts. And if you do don’t use hand sanitizer. Avoid plastic too. And definitely don’t heat it as it breaks down the plastic which leeches the BPA. Fourth is the topic of postpartum depression. This does get a little dark as Abbie and I personally share how horrifically hormones can mess with the mental state of of the new mom. It’s normal but also necessary to know when you need to get counseling or medication. If you’re experiencing this please seek help from a medical professional. And finally we touch on the state of the economy with gas prices, businesses closing and reducing their hours  of operation etc. Let’s go Brandon!!  If there’s a message of hope in this all it’s that we are gently reminded how God is in control and really none of these things have any bearing on the final outcome for us Christian sinners falling short every day. Keep fighting the good fight but come quickly Lord Jesus! Mentions:@gymglamapparel (Code buffcake10)@shortfitneverquit@buffcake22@tara.woodland Abbie coaches and trains moms through pre and/or postpartum both in person and on line and you can contact her via Instagram @shortfitneverquit or https://linktr.ee/amoverbeek Coaching inquiries: email Debra at buffcake22@gmail.com and request my FREE assessment form or check out this link for the podcast directories or my Amazon shop https://linktr.ee/Buffcake22Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast Interviews and Mom Chat editions as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.

Mom Chat 4: Let’s Go Brandon

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this episode #79 I get to hear the incredible story of NPC figure competitor Amanda Almodover as we wrap up National Mental Health Awareness week. Christmas eve 2014 Amanda was released from the hospital. A moment she will never forget and a stay that finally got her the help she needed to live, after revealing her cutting addiction coupled with anorexia to her mother. Amanda’s story is amazing and emotional as she so articulately shares not just the insight from her experience, but her daily continuous growth being mindful and while teaching kindergartners. There are so many golden nuggets of a wisdom and truth in this episode. My favorite is that “actions have consequences” can we say it louder for those in the back! Amanda shares how she knows she’s not enough without God, how she’s healing through healthy coping mechanisms, how her rock bottom has revealed the importance of incorporating mental health outlets for the children she teaches, and how bodybuilding is not at all about your body but about helping her be a better person. This interview touched my soul and if it helps even one more it will be worth the words. So SO glad I  didn’t lose this episode as my computer died 20 minutes before we were done. (Phew)Amanda you are brave, worthwhile, and we are so glad you are here. Follow her @amandadover654Sign up for my weekly newsletter premiering late fall 2021: http://eepurl.com/b6uPd5Check out my Amazon link to shop what I shop!

Amanda Almodover: Hospitalized for cutting and eating disorders, God and bodybuilding saved me.

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this episode #78 I chat with the intensely charming Jeana Aragon! Jeana is a fitness guru (49 years young), mother of two wonderful teenage boys, and wife of 22 years to Alan Aragon, scientist/nutritionist and author of the research review site AARR.   I’m so thankful for this interview! Through a variety of practical application suggestions, over and over Jeana answers the ever popular question: How do I live a healthy lifestyle and love it? She shares her relatable fitness beginnings of constant discomfort with efforts to be skinny through starvation and excess cardio which resulted in binges, “failure”, shame, then repeat. Through the grace of God a healthy food relationship was birthed upon finding her now husband  Alan, and the lifestyle he was educated on became their life together brick by brick. Jeana is a die-hard foodie, so of course we talk about how she incorporates healthy foods into family meals. Jeana is an amazing cook and lays out the basics to preparing nutrient dense meals for her family from grocery to table. We also cover the importance of weight bearing exercise, how they kept it going throughout the pandemic as a family, and about the break from exercise Jeana took to raise her 2 boys. We talk about mom “bounce back” pressure now days and encourage women to be strong and not put that pressure in themselves. We discuss child-reading such as: reading with kids, pushing them into sports, and encouraging other extra curricular like art and music. This is a very complete episode from the perspective of a woman successfully balancing family, and health. I hope you give Jeana a follow. I promise you will be positively inspired daily. Follow:@jeana.aragon @thealanaragonSign up for my weekly newsletter premiering late fall 2021: http://eepurl.com/b6uPd5Check out my Amazon link to shop what I shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/buffcake22Email Debra: buffcake22@gmail.com Find all these links and more at Debra’s linktree: https://linktr.ee/Buffcake22Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.

Interview with Fitness Guru Jeana Aragon

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this solo episode #77 I talk generically about what contest prep looks like and lay it out a “cliff notes version” of how to prep yourself for a show talking more in depth about criteria for if you’re ready to prep or prep yourself. I linked two previous prep episodes that I  mentioned below as well. I also emphasize throughout mirroring the similarities with coaching yourself for fat loss (health reasons) with contest prep as well allowing you to discern if and how you can coach yourself through a fat loss phase. It’s really not that difficult! Also, the Bodybuilding Olympia begins Friday October 8, 2021 and I’d encourage anyone interested in competing or curious about the sport to either order the $59 pay-per-view (linked below) and/or to follow the social media pages linked below. When following the below mentioned pages please note the winner’s social media accounts are often tagged so you can then follow and support the athletes you find inspiring! Olympia pay-per-view link: https://www.olympiaproductions.com/Mentions:@mrolympiallc@wingsofstrength@official_rxmuscle@w_wittmanphoto@aroundthenpc_jm@arnoldsports@maximummusclereport@npcnewsonlineofficialpageBodybuilding for Heath.

Interview with Patricia Gosselin WPD IFBB Pro

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this episode # 73 I enjoy a fascinating interview with IFBB WP Pro Melissa Teich! Only 3 weeks out from her Olympia debut, I’m grateful to Melissa for taking the time to sharing her journey with us thus far. With a background in swimming this WP pro actually started in figure but took a hiatus to powerlift before returning to the stage and winning her pro card in women’s physique. Believe it or not, that powerlifting time helped her stack another 20 pounds onto her frame. Melissa shares about her unique job as a nurse working with inmates while she snd her husband also own two gyms. You won’t believe what they did to allow their members to train during lockdown! She also talks thoroughly about her training and diet. And her experience doing a triathlon was scary hilarious! This was really enjoyable, thank you Melissa! Find her on Instagram:@missbeast25_ifbbproMentions: @shelbystarnes100Check out my Amazon link to shop what I shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/buffcake22Coaching inquiries: email Debra at buffcake22@gmail.com and request my FREE assessment form. Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.

Interview with IFBB WPD Pro Melissa Teich

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! Mom Chat edition! In this episode #72 Abbie and I talk about everything controversial. As parents it’s important to us to be aware of policies and discuss them and things going on in our world. The goal is not to create division but to use our platform to raise awareness because we both constantly wrestle with how to raise our children in a progressing society as Christian parents. Right off the get go I found myself talking about how women need men and I share pretty openly about my relationship with my ex-husband and how we co-parent. Then we talk about the Texas Heartbeat Law. Not surprising Abbie and I both think abortion is murder. But we talk about solutions for preventing pregnancy and problems in the adoption and foster system etc. We both share from our own childhoods about our experiences with sports and music as I pose the question: Should parents push kids into playing sports? We talk about when drinking alcohol is a problem and some solutions to “unwine” when you want to unwind at the end of day. Some fun topics we discuss throughout were: favorite candy bars, the stages of showering, not having periods when nursing, the stages of hair falling out throughout and post pregnancy, how often we wash our hair, and we end on a light note about crotch deodorant and what a disgusting concept it is! Mentions:@gymglamapparel (Code buffcake10)@shortfitneverquit@buffcake22Abbie coaches and trains moms through pre and/or postpartum both in person and on line and you can contact her via Instagram @shortfitneverquit or https://linktr.ee/amoverbeek Coaching inquiries: email Debra at buffcake22@gmail.com and request my FREE assessment form or check out this link for the podcast directories or my Amazon shop https://linktr.ee/Buffcake22Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast Interviews and Mom Chat editions as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.

Mom Chat 3 with Abbie Overbeek

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! Jamie Pinder is back on the show for episode #71 and we’re talking magic pills once again. With several recent deaths of females in the bodybuilding space, I decided it was time to help raise awareness.  It’s not just steroids, or diuretics, or competing, or crazy diet protocols, but a combination of a lot of variables plus back history that can make prep unhealthy or dangerous. In this episode we discuss red flags with coaches, the athletes responsibility at different levels, and what to expect from a coach according to your goals. Just a friendly reminder that bodybuilding is definitely healthy and bodybuilding competition prep variables can and should be mitigated  in a  healthy as possible fashion.  Enjoy the show! Mentions: @jamiepinder14Check out my Amazon link to shop what I shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/buffcake22Coaching inquiries: email Debra at buffcake22@gmail.com and request my FREE assessment form. Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.

Interview with IFBB Figure Pro Rahel Anastasia Cucchia

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this solo episode I share my experience with competing in bodybuilding. I talk briefly about the latest social media hype with diuretics and drug protocols coming to light as recently we’ve had several deaths in the industry to competitors. I emphasize the responsibility of coaches and competitors both in a contest prep relationship.I share 6 specific criteria you can check off your list to assess if you’re ready and able to compete, do it well, and hopefully have a great and as healthy as possible experience. Then I share some of what to expect from a coach while explaining how I online coach. And finally to end this episode I share an incredible written review from my client who recently “graduated” from working with me over the last 4 months. Enjoy the show! Outline: Who should compete?Someone who has a reasonable level of body fat at the beginning of an X amount of time prep. (Say 20 weeks or less) Someone with a decent amount of muscle for the desired category. (people are truly delusional about their gains FYI)People who don’t have current or recent previous mental or eating disorders.People who have a few thousand dollars to pay for a prep. (Minimum)People who know how to train for hypertrophy ie: connecting with the muscle and with proper intensity. Otherwise you will look skinny soft on stage.Someone who has been training and eating for bodybuilding consistently for at least a year after their trial/beginning years. Check out my Amazon link to shop what I shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/buffcake22Coaching inquiries: email Debra at buffcake22@gmail.com and request my FREE assessment form. Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.

Bodybuilding for Health, Who Should Compete, and What to Expect from a Coach

Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! Our first Mom Chat edition! If I’m passionate about any two things, it’s parenting as a mom, and being healthy. So, I’m super excited to begin this new branch of the podcast called “Mom Chat” with my girl Abbie Overbeak. This was our first episode so it was interview-ish but also chat-ish with tons of laughs! (I knew we would click!) Several months ago a girl friend of mine said, “Hey Deb, there aren’t enough podcasts out there about parenting” (hint hint) ? so I decided to give it a go and I asked @shortfitneverquit on and we had an absolute blast from the get go. We are by no means parenting experts and we are in completely different phases of parenting but with very similar values and hobbies so it’s really fun! My daughter is almost 16 and I’ve raised her as a divorced single mom for 11 years. Abbie is very happily married and her daughters are three years old and nine months old. I hope you enjoy listening and can either currently relate or envision your future. ???We are candid as crap, very sarcastic, but both relying on our faith in Jesus and workouts for daily strength. Abbie is also an online coach and trains in a variety of styles including bodybuilding and CrossFit. She has several certifications and does personal training out of her home gym as well. I have my own cleaning business, do online coaching, and am eventually headed back to school for sonography (think baby ultrasounds ? because I love babies and moms). These episode should drop every two weeks with the two of us but watch for additional “fit moms” of social media to be joining us for Mom Chat! In this episode we talk aboutAbbie’s background with fitnessHow she never wanted children at first birth stories and epidurals The “bounce back”Mom guiltLiving on no sleep Social media mom image Abbie coaches and trains moms through pre and/or postpartum both in person and on line and you can contact her via Instagram @shortfitneverquit or https://linktr.ee/amoverbeek Check out my Amazon link to shop what I shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/buffcake22Coaching inquiries: email Debra at buffcake22@gmail.com and request my FREE assessment form. Subscribe to the Women’s Maximum Fitness podcast Interviews, Mom Chat, and Chick Chat editions as new episodes drop every Monday and throughout the week.
