#17 Kirsten Aisbett ICN Bikini/Sports: Losing 40kg, training her mind, dealing with negative/unsupportive people, back to back preps, 2 year off-season

This week’s episode is with the gorge Kirsten Aisbett who is a
personal trainer and property manage from  Ballaratt,
Victoria and is also an ICN Bikini & Sports competitor – soon
to be WBFF bikini!


What I love about this sport and community is the amount of
incredible women I’ve ‘met’ on social media. Kirsten is one of
them! We’ve been following each others’ journeys for more than a
year now and it was soooo incredible to watch her smash the stage
for the first time last year.


When I started this podcast I just knew I had to speak to her! We
really left no stone unturned in this chat. We covered:


Dealing with COVID and training during lockdown

Opening a new gym this month

Her journey into health and fitness which started four years
ago

Being inspired at the Arnolds to compete

Losing 40kg in total and overcoming anxiety and depression

Back to back preps

Coming from a really dark place and turning her life
completely around 

Training her mind and mindset to focus on her self

Learning about nutrition and learning to track

Focussing on herself and how some people were incredibly
unsupportive of this

Using her own journey as fuel to help other people 

The biggest things she has learned along the way

Not letting other people’s opinions affect her

Dealing with unsupportive people and criticism

Switching from exercising to training for a competition

Prep making us realise what we’re capable of

What she wish she knew before competing

Dealing a difficult reverse and how she worked through it

Transitioning to WBFF

Taking two years off and embracing a long offseason to grow

Going for that pro card!

Advice for new competitors



Really - there wasn’t anything we DIDN’T cover!
