STEFANIE ANTORCHA RETURNS

In this “comeback episode” Celeste sits down and talks with the
“Brownie Boss” herself, creator of Bambody Nutrition, Stefanie
Antorcha!

​Celeste and Stefanie waste no time and kick off the episode
addressing the recent allegations that were made against Bambody
by other individuals in the industry.

Stefanie opens up and shares more about what actually happened,
how the situation arose, and how she herself found out about
these allegations and accusations. She starts from the beginning
and shares the challenges she and her business were already
facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and where she was when she
initially found out what had been happening on social
media.

Celeste then asks Stefanie about her initial feelings and
reactions to the accusations that were being made against Bambody
and their products.

While explaining the situation, Stefanie shares her passion for
her business and its customers, and how she feels they have
become a family. She expresses the gratitude she felt for
deciding to sit down with her team and finding the most
professional manner to address the situation instead of
immediately firing back to accusations via social media. Stefanie
expresses that she wanted to really connect with and squash
doubts from customers and people who truly care and support the
company instead of giving attention to the internet
trolls. 
​
Next, Celeste asks Stefanie if there are any details she wishes
customers could have known about the complexities of the
situation that attributed to why she couldn’t address the
situation right away. Stefanie shares sympathy for her customers
initial feelings, then explains in detail how they went about
finding the lab and started the process of getting samples tested
to have their own facts and results.

She explains the mix up with the postal service, the delay in
delivering the packages containing their samples, and the toll
that took on getting the lab results in a timely and efficient
manner. Then, Stefanie explains that even upon obtaining the lab
results she could not immediately share the results with
customers.

She goes on to explain the intricacies and details of the results
and how one would go about deciphering the numbers and
percentages reflected, and why that took so much time for her to
be able to properly interpret and communicate with customers. She
also emphasizes the importance of being fully transparent with
Bambody customers and her passion to always handle things the
right way, comparing that to her feelings and values being a
product consumer herself.

Celeste highlights Stefanie’s passion and dedication she has for
always providing customers with the best product and the most
information possible, without even being required to.

Celeste also touches on how her and other loyal customers
questioned the claims against Bambody as they have been able to
incorporate the treats into their daily nutrition plans and still
achieve their goals.

Celeste also asks Stefanie to touch on the macro content and
nutrition labels Bambody does provide customers and how it varies
from the typical baked good or treat you find on grocery store
shelves.

Transitioning from the process of and how Stefanie addressed the
issue of the allegations made against Bambody, her and Celeste
talk about the expanding product line and the changes Stefanie is
making moving forward. Stefanie then breaks down the differences
between the new lines; the Elite line, Guiltless Pleasure line,
and the Indulgent line.

Next, Celeste and Stefanie talk about the new exciting holiday
treats that will be releasing soon as the fall season is in full
swing. After talking fun holiday releases Celeste asks if
Stefanie ever gets creative at home and creates Bam treats
outside of her official “Bambody kitchen.”  Celeste also
asks Stefanie if there are any Bambody treats that her friends
and family love, yet she isn’t over the moon about.

Stefanie shares a brief history of the evolution of Bambody and
how she first started experimenting with macro friendly treats as
she wanted something that would satisfy her sweet tooth yet keep
her on track for her fitness goals.

She talks about how she got into bodybuilding when the typical
competition diet was the “chicken, broccoli, and rice” and how
she wanted to add variety in a fun and tasty way.

Celeste also shares her personal experiences in finding Bambody
products and how she felt it helped her mend her relationship
with food and allow herself freedom and flexibility in her diet,
as well as allow herself to have an indulgent sweet treat on a
regular basis yet that also supports her and her
goals. 

Next, Celeste asks Stefanie about personal goals Stefanie has and
she shares that she started working with a coach again and that
she loves the idea of one day returning to the stage.

Then, the two women talk about Stefanie’s circle of friends and
customers. Celeste asks Stefanie about the circle of love she has
and maintains at all times and how she has developed such a
strong support circle.

Concluding the episode Stefanie shares how listeners can further
connect with and talk with her through her personal and business
channels on social media.
