AIMEE JACOBS; Finding Confidence after Childhood Trauma, New Zealand vs American Competing & Fitness Industry, Growing Friendships

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Aimee Jacobs from Wellington, New
Zealand, who has been competing since July 2018. She competed in
her first IFBB show in March 2019, taking first place in both
Open and novice. She competed in Nationals that year with a new
coach Kurt Dell, and took first place in her classes but missed
out on the overall win. She earned her Pro Card at Nationals 2020
with an overall win. She mad her Pro debut in December 2021,
placing 4th. Aimee works in IT and is working toward earning her
personal training certificate. 


 


Aimee is so open with her story. She shares about her experience
being sexually abused as a child and how she is overcoming the
long-term trauma that caused.
