Inferiority complex is one of the problems that many women face. And the fitness community is no exception. Comparing oneself to others and a constant pursuit of perfection can lead to feelings of inferiority and low self-esteem. This is even more true in areas where performance and appearance are important. It is important to realise that we each have our own unique journey and value, and that we are never comparable to someone else.

The moment I became the absolute winner of Arnold Classic Europe in Spain, and I was standing on the stage with Arnold, I had no doubt, it was worth it. But during the preparation, I felt that I was going through a certain limit and conviction. Suddenly I felt...
