Bailey Cisson's transformation story will stop you in your tracks. At 220 pounds and just 5'3", she'd reached a point where walking through Target left her winded and parking spot hunting became an Olympic sport. Fast forward to today, and she's 100+ pounds lighter, a bodybuilding champion, and completely reinvented her relationship with food, fitness, and herself.
What makes Bailey's journey uniquely powerful is how she navigated both the physical and mental obstacles of extreme weight loss. After years of failed HIIT workouts while dining out 5-6 times weekly, a doctor's blunt assessment—"you're just overweight"—finally triggered her turning point. Through disciplined nutrition changes and eventually embracing strength training over cardio-focused exercise, Bailey discovered that building muscle wasn't just aesthetically transformative—it created a metabolic engine that revolutionized her body's function.
The podcast reveals intimate details of Bailey's struggles with emotional eating, family dynamics that complicated her health journey, and the unexpected hurricane that nearly derailed her first bodybuilding competition. Coach T'abren Wallace joins the conversation, sharing behind-the-scenes insights on how they navigated prep challenges together, including a miraculous chicken-cooking rescue mission amid power outages and gas shortages.
Beyond the physical transformation, Bailey's mental evolution shines through. From desperately wanting to be "skinny" to proudly building "boulder shoulders," her perspective on health has completely shifted. Now working at a nutrition store and launching her own podcast to help other women navigate fitness intimidation, she offers this powerful reminder: "Nothing's going to change unless you do." The future Bailey thanks the past Bailey for taking that first step—what step will you take today?
