Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores

Okay, icons—grab your headphones and settle in. This episode is not safe for work or little ears, but it is full of juicy reflections, personal growth, and behind-the-scenes tea from my recent Bliss Cruise experience. From body image and non-monogamy to intimacy, curiosity, and conversations most people are too shy to have—I’m sharing it all. Think of this as the girlfriend chat you didn’t know you needed. Let’s explore what happens when you finally unplug and lean into your own liberation. #AfterDark #NSFW #BlissCruise   ✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS: 00:00 Kicking things off – yep, we...

Ever feel like you’ve got 57 tabs open in your brain and everyone needs something from you? Yeah, same. In this episode, we’re diving into a conversation that hits especially hard for high-performing women who are juggling ALL the things—work, family, laundry, gym time, invisible mental loads—and wondering why they’re so damn tired all the time. I’m sharing a personal deep dive into the truth about your schedule and energy, what a real-life audit looks like (including the parts we’d rather avoid), and how to trade the draining stuff for things that actually light you up. We’re...

What do I give a f*ck about right now? Waking up without an alarm, doing work that lights me up, lifting heavy things, and living life on my terms. This episode of Boss Bitch Radio is the second part of a spicy convo that started last week—so if you haven’t listened to Part 1, do that first! We’re diving even deeper into burnout, why doing less is my new flex, and how I’m rebuilding a life and biz that actually feels good.
