Episode Description

In this episode of Fearlessly Authentic, I sit down with fitness guru, professional figure skater and dancer and "glama" to her 3 grandkids Leslie Fhima, whose quest for love captured our hearts on the reality show, The Golden Bachelor. Leslie shares her exhilarating yet emotional journey, from the highs of connecting with Gerry Turner to the crushing moment of learning he had fallen for someone else. Tune in as Leslie opens up about the challenges of finding genuine connections in the public eye, her personal growth throughout the show, and her outlook on love and life after reality TV. Join us as Leslie offers insights to her experience and her optimistic perspective on moving forward, armed with new-found wisdom and an open heart. Leslie may best be known as a former professional figure skater, but this woman has way more going on than what meets the eye. Outside of her love for figure skating and dancing, Leslie is now a personal trainer and is passionate about helping others live their best lives. She has run 10 marathons and is looking for her running buddy for life. When she isn't working at the gym, Leslie is an incredible mom to her three kids and "glama" to her three grandkids. She also loves spending time with her mini Aussiedoodle, Billie.

Jodi Harrison Bauer

Jodi Harrison Bauer is a two-time World Bikini Champion, founder and owner of JodiFit boutique fitness studio, host of Fearlessly Authentic podcast and the oldest woman to ever compete for the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, making global headlines and the Top 60 finalists in 2019.

Growing up, Jodi was a people pleaser and scared of everything. She graduated with a BA from Simmons College in 1983. Jodi’s life changed forever when, at 42 years old, she built the courage to take control of her own happiness. Since then, Jodi has worked relentlessly to better herself, build her business, nurture her relationships and create the life she knew she always deserved, one with passion and purpose.

In doing so, she hasn’t followed the rules or fit in the box society wanted to put her in. She started competing in fitness shows when she was “too old,” opened a business at 50 and got re-married eight years later. She competed against women more than half her age for a spot in Sports Illustrated Swim to prove age and beauty are not directly correlated.

Today she defines herself as an ageless warrior and an advocate against ageism. In her studio, on her podcast and across her social channels, Jodi focuses on empowering women.

Jodi is the proud mother of two grown daughters and a rescue pup. Outside of JodiFit, you can find her on the beach or dancing like no one’s watching. She lives by the words “Never let fear stop you from being YOU."
