What happens when the lifestyle that built so much of your identity no longer fits the person you're becoming?

In this episode of The Psyche Behind the Physique, Maddy sits down with her former client and fellow bodybuilding competitor Miki for an honest conversation about the rarely discussed transition away from physique sports.

They unpack the strange middle ground between being a competitor and figuring out who you are without prep, macros, check-ins, cardio targets, and a physique goal dictating your daily decisions.

Miki shares what the transition looked like mentally and physically, how her relationship with food and body image evolved, what she had to experiment with before finding a healthier middle ground, and what she would approach differently if she ever chose to compete again.
