I’m back and so is Cylence Unlocked! After a short break, Coach Damian Segovi and I sit down to tackle the Q&A y’all have been sending in. From gut instincts versus mindset to how long you should chase that pro card, we’re getting real about the industry and the behind-the-scenes decisions that make or break a prep. Damian opens up about the risks he took dialing me in for my final Olympia, and I share why trusting my coach was the ultimate gut decision. We talk carb cycling, bloating, holiday eating, cravings, and why gut health matters more than you think. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting started, this episode is full of game, changing insight, real talk, and a few laughs (of course).
