ERIN GALES; Neurodivergence, Knowing your Needs, Awareness of Burnout & Fitting Prep Into your LIfe

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Erin Mayrhofer (formerly Gales), who
first moved to Los Angeles in 2010 after college to pursue a
career in dance. In 2015, she experienced traumatic event, which
led her to a deep depression. On her search for what she wanted
to do next in life, she discovered bodybuilding through a friend.
What started with a short term goal to lift her spirits became an
8 year journey on the bodybuilding stage! Erin did various shows
each year as an amateur and finally earned her IFBB Pro card in
July 2022 at USAs! She’s currently working on her first full
season as a rookie pro.


 


In her 30’s. Erin was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, and found out she
is on the autism spectrum. It is now her mission to bring light
to how autism can present differently in women and why it
commonly goes undiagnosed.
