In this profound episode of the BTB Project #131, host Kollman Gearhart welcomes former professional bodybuilder, motivational coach, and author Catt Tripoli for an inspiring conversation on the intersection of physical fitness, mental resilience, and tapping into the subconscious mind to achieve greatness.

Tripoli shares her unique journey from an initial foray into bodybuilding within a limiting environment to becoming a champion by redefining her mindset through hypnotherapy, the principles of conscious fitness, and a deep connection to spiritual teachings.

She emphasizes the importance of internal dialogue, the power versus force philosophy, and integrating mind, body, and spirit for holistic growth in sports and life. Tripoli's insights offer invaluable lessons on pushing personal limits, the distinction between merely training and truly understanding one's body, and the pursuit of excellence through integrity and self-exploration. 00:00 Welcome to the BTB Project: Empowering Your Why 01:02 Introducing Catt Tripoli: A Journey of Strength and Wisdom 01:55 Evolving with Evo Sports Collective: A New Coaching Paradigm 04:45 Catt Tripoli's Bodybuilding Beginnings: From Cult to Champion 10:10 The Philosophy of Bodybuilding: Beyond the Physical 22:17 Navigating Injury and Aging: A Bodybuilder's Perspective 26:01 Mind Over Matter: The Power of Belief in Bodybuilding 29:17 Discovering Hypnotherapy: A Personal Journey 29:53 The Surprising Power of Hypnosis 31:49 Unlocking Subconscious Beliefs Through Hypnotherapy 32:20 The Transformative Moment on Stage 34:15 The Philosophy of Training: Beyond the Music 38:14 The Art of Bodybuilding: Technique and Focus 40:55 The Importance of Solitude in Training 43:43 Influences and Inspirations: From Books to Ballet 48:55 Conscious Fitness: A Guide for the Young Athlete 53:42 Reflecting on Legacy and the Essence of Bodybuilding Catt's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Conscious-Fitness-Strength-Training-Evolution/dp/0692675728
