Send us a textThanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! In this episode #85 I talk with the beautiful (now 49 year old) IFBB pro Karina Nascimento. What I thought was going to be an amazing interview about her bodybuilding journey, turned out to be that plus an incredible personal spiritual journey triumphing over severe child abuse, heartache from losing several loved ones, and pain and depression . Beautifully shared, Karina speaks of being put up for adoption at 6 months old in Brazil, and how she eventually landed in a children’s home in Texas (which is now her charity) because her mother was mentally unwell. Karina shares her journey to become Miss Olympia as only the tip of the iceberg, and how the real struggle of finding herself began after stepping down from the big stage in 2015. It took several years of digging through the crap to be victorious over her past, but she is at peace, thriving, lifting, mothering, and being a wife. This interview was such a blessing and I’m so grateful for this privilege, Karina. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Wishing you nothing but continued blessings.
