APRIL CONLEY; Self-Worth, Lean to See How Big I Got, Personal Empowerment in Competing, Posing for New Competitors

Today I speak with IFBB Pro April Conley, a mother, and
grandmother, who started in ballet and fell in love with fitness
as a teenager, go as far to dance on a professional team. In
2012, some personal issues led her to want to get stronger to not
appear as a victim. Through this she became aware of bodybuilding
and was inspired by Isa when she won the Olympia in 2019. Her
then husband was jealous and didn’t want her to compete, but when
died in a car accident while driving drunk, she turned to
competing to do something for herself and lead her back to a
healthier lifestyle. She met her current husband through
bodybuilding. 


 


She stepped on stage for the first time in 2021 earning first in
all of her classes and won her Pro Card at 2022 North Americans
in the 35+ category. 


 


April is so open with her journey and has so much experience to
share. You don’t want to miss this episode!
