13: No Excuses

Mara Ruckman is an IFBB Pro in the Women's Physique category. She has a background in competitive powerlifting, which ultimately led to her competing in a bodybuilding show. Mara is also a single mom who dealt with some pretty heavy traumas, but instead of letting everything bring her down, she picked herself up and was able to conquer some of her biggest goals.

In this episode, Mara talks about getting surprised with a divorce all while she was planning on stepping away from her full-time job and pursuing her passion in competing. Obviously this news created a massive challenge in her goal to step on stage again.

Mara went through some major depressions during the divorce, but was thankfully able to rely on her belief in God to get her through everything. 

Today, Mara has a goal in inspiring others, especially single moms, to keep going for their passions, regardless of what life throws at you!
