DANIELA BENITEZ; Overcoming Negative Emotions, Love The Season You’re In, Makeup Artist Insights, Belief In Yourself, Don’t Do This Post-Show

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Daniela Benitez who born in Costa
Rica and moved to Utah at 14. She’s a mother, makeup artist,
baker, and sales manager, who started her fitness journey after a
divorce. She began body building at the end of 2017, competing in
three shows back to back. She won the overall at her 4th show
ever which led her to compete on the National level. She earned
her Pro card at 2020 USA’s and has since competed in three Pro
shows with plans to compete later this year. We hear about
Daniela’s work as a makeup artist and why she loves working with
competitors on show day. She also gives some of her best tips!


 


Daniela shares all the ups and downs of her journey to Pro and
why earning her Pro card was so important to her. I know many
people will be able to relate to her story!
