For today's episode I'm chatting to Ayame Van Beusekom - WBFF Athlete and Trainer. We met all the way back in 2018 when we competed in the NZ Fitness Model Search together and I've been a big fan ever since! With an incredible background in Gymnastics, competing and a new passion, Muay Thai, we had lots of different areas to chat about.

Today we have Wonderwoman in the hot seat! Quite literally... I'm chatting to Sian Bennett - WBFF Pro Athlete, Mother, Nurse and Coach. She does it all and with a beautiful smile on her face too! We covered all of the topics such as competing, health, becoming a mother, relationships and of course we had to find out if she competes natural or not ;)
