Today I’m sitting down with Vanessa Zamora, and let me just say… her story is wild!

Three years ago, Vanessa walked into our studio carrying 70 extra pounds, feeling shy, quiet, and honestly just trying to blend into the background. Fast forward to now, she’s stepped on stage three times as a bikini competitor and has completely transformed her body and her confidence!

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we chat about:

✨ What pushed her to finally start her journey

✨ How working with her coach (my daughter, Coach Ish) kept her going

✨ Breaking free from people-pleasing and learning to set boundaries

✨ What it’s really like to prep for a bikini competition

✨ How she stays consistent with fitness even outside of competing

Vanessa’s proof that you don’t have to have it all figured out - just take that first step. If you’ve ever felt stuck, intimidated, or scared of failing, this one’s gonna hit home!
