This week’s episode is with the incredible Courtney McConnell who is a WBFF Bikini athlete and online nutrition and training coach from the gorgeous Gold Coast!

I absolutely love following Courtney on social media - not only does she put out super helpful macro friendly recipes and guidance all the time, but I really admire her style of training. She is one strong woman and we had a good chat on this episode about much we love compound lifting!

In this episode we spoke about:⁠

  • Finding fitness after coming back from a Contiki tour
  • Learning to track macros before macro tracking was popular!
  • Why Courtney waited until after 21st to compete
  • Trying different federations
  • Best show moments
  • Learning the hard way to take a break between shows
  • Trying out powerlifting comps
  • Why being strong is THE BEST!
  • Should you squat and deadlift as a bikini competitor…?
  • Courtney’s passion for helping others develop confidence
  • Tips for building confidence and overcoming shyness
  • Courtney’s competing plans

And SOOO much more!⁠

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
