#49 Jess Johnson IFBB Bikini Pro: overcoming binge-eating & burnout from back to back shows, prepping in the Air Force, managing FOMO

This week’s episode is with the amazing Jess Johnson - the newest Australian IFBB Bikini Pro!!

We had originally slated this interview for the week after her state qualifier show, but decided to postponed until after nationals… and we’re so glad we did! 

Not only did she turn pro at Nationals, but straight away got to go up against some of Australia best pro athletes on minutes later, taking out 3rd place!!

It was awesome to hear about all her experiences competing over six years, especially her epic come back to win her IFBB Pro card following a bit of a burnout after a year of back to back shows.

In this episode we spoke about:⁠

• Her experience turning pro in March!
• How she got started competing
• Jess’s collection of pro cards (IFBB, ANB, WNBF, INBA, AWNBS)
• Tips for competing overseas and interstate
• How Jess managed prepping in the Air Force
• Tips for managing FOMO when competing
• How to still socialise while in prep
• Rebounding and burning out from a year of back to back shows 
• Overcoming binge eating & understanding our ‘trigger’ foods
• The challenge of ‘decision fatigue’ 
• Jess’ competing plans now as a PRO!

And SOOO much more!⁠
