In today’s episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Alyssa Frietchen, who earned her Pro card at 2024 Nationals after just over a year of competing. Currently in her offseason and planning for her Pro debut this fall, Alyssa shares how she quickly fell in love with bodybuilding and now hopes to inspire others to find their passion for the sport as well.
We dive into her mindset throughout her journey, from reverse dieting and post-show habits to embracing the learning process between shows. Alyssa opens up about building confidence on stage, developing a healthy relationship with food, and starting her own coaching business.
This episode is full of heart, passion, and practical insight for anyone working toward their goals, on and off the stage.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
