In today’s episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Kathryn Cavanagh, a former primary school teacher who discovered bodybuilding, fell in love with the process, and eventually turned her passion for posing into a full-time career. After six years competing in the NPC, Kathryn earned her Pro card in Japan in November 2024, proving that patience, consistency, and feedback-driven growth matter.

Kathryn shares what it really takes to compete internationally, how to build longevity in the sport, and why posing should look effortless, not exhausting.
