In this G-Fit Conversation, I sit down with my long-time client and friend Danyelle to talk about what happens after the competition is over. We dive into her post-show highs and lows from the discipline and drive that got her stage-ready to the physical and emotional challenges that often follow.
Danyelle opens up about navigating gut issues, discovering her allergy to egg whites, and learning to truly listen to her body again. Together, we unpack how competing can teach us powerful lessons, but also how easy it is to fall into extremes.
I share my own perspective and coach her through finding a more balanced, sustainable approach-one that’s built on grace, enjoyment, and a new goal that feels fun rather than restrictive.
This conversation is a beautiful reminder that balance is where real growth happens, and that sometimes the hardest part isn’t the prep — it’s what comes next.
Post-competition isn’t a “failure phase” — it’s a reset phase.
Healing the gut and managing food sensitivities requires slowing down and paying attention.
Balance doesn’t mean losing drive; it means channeling it differently.
Grace > guilt: learning to love your body through every phase.
Fun and freedom can coexist with discipline when your goals align with your season of life.
