MARISKA PRETORIUS; Body Image, Food Intentions, Abuse & Losing the Will to Live, Do the Division you Love

In today’s episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Mariska Pretorius, who
began competing in 2017 and earned her Pro card in 2019. Since
then, she has competed all over the world in the Pro League.
Based in South Africa, Mariska offers online training, nutrition,
and posing services to clients around the globe.


 


We talk about the highs and lows of her journey, including
managing illness, overcoming relationship challenges, and
learning to grow through image struggles. Mariska shares her
mindset as a competitor, the importance of a solid support
system, and how finding the right coach has made all the
difference. This is a powerful conversation about resilience,
self-worth, and the drive to keep pushing forward.
