In today’s episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Bailey Harrison, whose journey from growing up on a cattle ranch to becoming a professional bikini competitor is nothing short of inspiring. Bailey entered the fitness industry in 2015 as a personal trainer before expanding into nutrition coaching and opening her own gym, BA Nutrition & Fitness in Lewiston, ID. At her first shows back in 2016, she competed in figured, before taking a few years off to compete in powerlifting. She returned to the stage in 2020 and switched coaches in 2021 after poor placing at national shows. She then earned her Pro card at 2023 Universe.
Bailey shares the highs, the lows, and the mindset shifts that led to her success. Tune in for a raw and real conversation about perseverance, lessons learned, and what’s next in her career!

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.
