Ep. #88 On today’s episode, I sit down with Heidi Somers aka Buff Bunny and discuss her journey from the snowy vibes of Alaska to the fitness hustle in Texas. Along the way, she turned Buff Bunny into a powerhouse of women's empowerment, all while keeping it real about the ups and downs of business life, from moving states to winning over a growing bunch of fans who dig her business smarts and meal prep tips. We also get into the real talk about the impact she’s made online, the special moments with fans, and the personal stuff like planning a real-deal wedding and tackling fertility challenges, all with the fitness world buzzing around her. Heidi’s take on fashion inclusivity and gearing up for motherhood leaves us feeling pumped about the many layers of wellness and chasing what you love. So, let's dive into this chat and uncover the raw and real side of thriving in the fitness game and beyond.
