Send us a textThanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this episode #79 I get to hear the incredible story of NPC figure competitor Amanda Almodover as we wrap up National Mental Health Awareness week. Christmas eve 2014 Amanda was released from the hospital. A moment she will never forget and a stay that finally got her the help she needed to live, after revealing her cutting addiction coupled with anorexia to her mother. Amanda’s story is amazing and emotional as she so articulately shares not just the insight from her experience, but her daily continuous growth being mindful and while teaching kindergartners. There are so many golden nuggets of a wisdom and truth in this episode. My favorite is that “actions have consequences” can we say it louder for those in the back! Amanda shares how she knows she’s not enough without God, how she’s healing through healthy coping mechanisms, how her rock bottom has revealed the importance of incorporating mental health outlets for the children she teaches, and how bodybuilding is not at all about your body but about helping her be a better person. This interview touched my soul and if it helps even one more it will be worth the words. So SO glad I didn’t lose this episode as my computer died 20 minutes before we were done. (Phew)Amanda you are brave, worthwhile, and we are so glad you are here.
