Episode 21: IFBB Pro Janine Herrera: Persevering Through Adversity While, Prioritizing Family & Faith

In this episode, Mandy and Gillian welcome IFBB Bikini Pro and Masters Olympian Janine Herrera who shares her journey as a single mother of three daughters rising to the top of the ranks as a bikini pro!  Janine shares how getting started competing had a tremendous positive impact on her mental health as she navigated a divorce and adjusted to life as a single mom.

Janine’s highest accomplishment was her 2nd place victory at the Masters Olympia in 2023 and opens up with our listeners that she had prayed for this to become a reality prior to the announcement of the return of the Masters Olympia- proof that you can manifest your dreams into a reality!!   As a true ambassador of the masters bikini division, Janine also discusses the challenges that many women face competing later in life and how she balances her responsibilities as a mom, athlete, board certified nurse practitioner and online health and fitness coach.  Her passion is to use her experiences to inspire and help women on their fitness journeys, particularly focusing on hormone health and empowering women to prioritize their well-being.
