Susan Guidi joins us for the second time on the podcast to discuss her remarkable physical and mental transformation from her experience of training for, competing in, and winning a bodybuilding competition at 65. She discusses the limiting beliefs that she had to break down to change her life, how she felt on stage at her bodybuilding competition at 65, how anyone can start their own health journey, and more.
“If you’ve got someone who sees something in you, it’s quite a gift.”
“I lived in that world of ‘Nobody sees me, why should I do anything to make me vital and joyous and loving?’ ”
“We reach a certain age and realize ‘I’ve never put my needs first, ever.’ And choosing myself first became an enormous gift.”
“There’s something about what I’ve achieved through this that doesn’t have anything to do with the aesthetic.”
“Weightlifting, especially for an older woman, is fricken empowering as hell.”
“If I can do this, what else is possible?”
