EP 36 is now live and we had the sincere pleasure of chatting to 2x Miss Olympia and 4x Arnold Classic Bikini Champion, Angelica Teixeira.
Yet another surreal moment for Grace and Jade; Angelica embodies everything that a true champion and icon of the sport should, and despite stepping away from competing since her last season in 2020, she remains to many, the bikini standard!
In this episode we discuss:
- Angelica’s background, how she got into competing, her competitive career to date and what her aspirations were when she entered the sport;
- Bikini now vs then, what’s changed? The evolving standard and how she thinks that has impacted the accessibility of the sport;
- Setbacks and success, what were her greatest challenges along the way?
- Mindset, managing losses and how that impacted her?
- Angelica is still considered to be the standard of the bikini division; how does that make her feel and how did she manage the pressures that came with carrying that mantle?
- Becoming a mum; how did she navigate that process from an identity standpoint?
-What the future holds for her;
And so much more.
This is probably one of the most inspiring conversations Grace and Jade have had and one that will stay with us forever.
