What happens when a successful corporate career no longer feels aligned with the life you want to live? In this special episode of the Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast, Pia joins one of Fiercely Fueled's own athletes, Erla Guðmundsdóttir, as a guest on her podcast for a candid conversation about health, strength, nutrition, and the life-changing power of resistance training.
Pia shares her journey from a high-pressure executive career in banking to becoming the owner of Fiercely Fueled Nutrition, revealing how a pre-diabetes diagnosis, burnout, and a desire for something more meaningful led her to discover strength training and ultimately transform her life. Together, Pia and Erla explore why strength sports are about so much more than competition, how nutrition should support performance rather than restriction, and why it's never too late to start building strength, confidence, and resilience.
