Ashlyn shares how she felt after getting her feedback from Sandy after earning her pro card and how she eats before stage that could be the only change she needs to make, how even the weather can impact your results, she talks about what she does the day of the show and how/why she water loads before stage.  She reflects on a time in her life where she wasn't seeing the results she wanted and how she finally got to the point of knowing what she needed!  One thing Ashlyn shares is how important it is to have a positive mindset, love prep for the long term (the good, bad, and the ugly), how she destresses, what she thinks is the key to getting more results, and how she recommends seeing food as just food.    For ALL the show notes & to connect with Lauren please visit: www.celestial.fit/podcast Make sure to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes so you never miss an episode!
