In this episode, Flossy Morrison, or Floss as most people know her, sits with me in her living room in Perth to chat all things fridge rosters, meal prep and what it takes to be a bodybuilder. She is a mum of 4 and has competed in a few bodybuilding comps in Perth. I actually married Floss in Broome 4 years ago to her handsome husband John and I have been following her on her socials over the past few years witnessing her incredible body transformations. I reached out to Floss, because besides being in awe of her ability to train and compete as a bodybuilder, I wanted to know how she manages this level of discipline with 4 kids and a husband!

Highlights from the episode:

• Floss’s Story: Discover how Floss goes into detail into how she started off competitive bodybuilding and what is involved in being strict with diet and exercise.
• The Power of Discipline and Fridge rosters: We discuss the importance of being prepared with meal prep for the week ahead and how she gets her kids to be involved in this.
• Newly formed PT business : Floss discusses how the idea came about for her to study to become a PT trainer. The idea came from friends and other bodybuilder competitors asking how she could have 3 kids, compete in a show, become pregnant again, have her 4th child and do it all again!
• Baking business: Floss and I touch on how she has a small bakery business providing sweet treats for uni, events and shows and how she absolutely adores food.
• Transformative Impact: We dive into how fitness has helped her not only with mindset and health but also with setting a good example for her kids.

Whether you’re curious about what it takes to train and become a competitive bodybuilder, looking for a confidence boost, or simply want to hear an inspiring story of how a mum of 4 manages her sanity as well as being a loving and caring wife to her husband, this episode is for you.

Have you ever wondered what things a Gen Z woman thinks are the challenges they face compared to a millennial or Gen X women?

In this episode, Damar and I discuss all the juicy things, from training Jiu jitsu and Muay Thai, to being an only child, to what it’s like to have a partner who is 18 years older. Damar is my first Gen Z guest and we dive into several topics, some that I hadn’t even planned on asking but the conversation naturally went there. We discuss how she is a part time content creator, recently completed in her first jiu jitsu comp taking away a silver medal and what her thoughts are on what challenges Gen Z women face today compared with millennial or Gen x women.

If her story resonates with you, make sure you add a comment of DM me on Insta @officiallyemmayoung

• She talks about discovering Jiu jitsu and Muay Thai training and meeting her partner Adam.
• We discuss her opinions on what its like to be a Gen Z woman and how she thinks social media has had both a positive and negative effect on women from different generations.

• Damar opens up about Adam, who became her partner after being best friends for 3 years. She goes into detail about how after being on the Implanon for several years, she decided to go off it. It was then like a lightbulb went off and she saw Adam in a completely new way! 😉

Ever met someone that can only be described as the human equivalent of sunshine?

Ash Williamson is THAT woman!

In this episode I sit down with the ambitious Ash Williamson and discuss what it was like starting a business at 25, to then sell it 7 years later still in its peak to then go on and enjoy the year of yes! What’s this you ask? Ash decided that she would yes to all those things she had wanted to learn or do but hadn’t had the time whilst she was running her business. From perfecting the art of baking sour dough, to finishing a manuscript for her first book, to learning the guitar.

We also dive into the topic of Ash being open about not wanting kids and not feeling the need to explain herself every time a stranger asks, why not? Ash also gives her explanation on the importance of rest and what that actually looks like for her.

If her story resonates with you, make sure you add a comment of DM me on Insta @officiallyemmayoung

In this episode we cover:

• Ash describes how she created a successful events hire business at age 25 and how that helped shape the woman she is today.
• She talks about after selling her business, she found she had weekends again and more time for her to explore hobbies and interests, making this what she calls, The year of yes!
• We discuss her opinions on the importance of REAL rest, not just doom scrolling for hours at a time, but real rest, the one where you put your phone down, say no to socialising with friends and simply be present in life.
• Ash opens up about not wanting kids and how she is more than happy to discuss this. She explains she has gotten better at not feeling the need to explain her reasons why to every stranger that asks comes at her with a judgemental opinion.
• We also discuss her ambitions to be a fictional author and her trip to Hobart this year to pitch her manuscript to publishers.

Taliah’s honesty around empathy, resilience and finding your voice again is one that will have you listening to the very end.
