Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Kaley Houdyshell. After moving to California in 2015 with little to no experience in bodybuilding, she fell in love after her first show and went on to earn my pro card at Universe in 2019 placing first. She is a bikini, wellness, an posing coach and is building her team. She wants to empower other ladies to find their inner confidence and be that beam a light! Kaley is currently planning her return to stage after 3 years away!
