Busy Mam. No Excuses. Nicola’s 13kg Transformation Story BTB 115

In this episode, we sit down with Nicola Howard—a busy mum, full-time professional, and absolute powerhouse—who proves that getting in shape is possible, no matter how full your life is. After returning to the barbell club last April, Nicola has gone on to lose 13kg, rebuild her confidence, and completely transform her mindset—all while juggling kids, work, and the chaos of everyday life. We dive into the emotional moment of looking back at the person she used to be, what finally pushed her to make a change, and how the 6AM group became a key part of her success. Nicola opens up about the real struggles of fitting everything in, the importance of support at home, and how having both her family and the barbell club community behind her made all the difference. We also talk about her recent photoshoot after completing the 12-week shred—and what it felt like to see just how far she’s come. This episode is honest, relatable, and inspiring—especially for any busy mum who feels like she doesn’t have the time. Because the truth is… you don’t find time. You make it.   https://www.instagram.com/ross_barbellclub/   Follow Ross here ^^^    https://www.instagram.com/sarah_barbellclub/   Follow Sarah here ^^^
