CARRIE HENNESSY; Leaving an Abusive Marriage and Finding Love, Parental Guilt, Your Best Process, Competing as a Single Mother, Empowerment in Routine

Mar 22, 2024

Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Carrie Hennessy, a wife and girl mom to a 18 months old and 13 year old plus a dog mom. She loves true crime podcasts, being outdoors and anything adventurous. She loves connection, laughing and advocating for women. One of her favorite quotes is “ If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” She entered the bodybuilding world after leaving an abusive marriage and finding the courage to choose herself. Fitness took her from feeling powerless and defeated to empowered and strong. She is a Coach at Fitbliss Fitness.

Her first NPC show was in March 2015, and later that year, competed at North Americans. She earned her Pro card at USA’s in 2018 after placing 1st. She last competed in 2021 and is returning to the Pro stage this year!
