In today’s episode, I welcome back IFBB Bikini Pro Shayla Hubbard, a Certified Nutritionist, mom of two (soon to be three in March 2025), and former competitor who first appeared on the podcast in 2020. Since stepping away from bodybuilding, Shayla has shifted her focus to promoting fitness and nutrition for kids through her family’s YouTube channel, making health fun and accessible for the next generation!

We dive into life after bodybuilding, the impact of competing on parenting, struggles with postpartum depression, and how she’s navigating motherhood while still applying the lessons she learned from competing.
