    - FORMER DI ATHLETE

  • “I got an ad for this group through Instagram and I just wanted to say what an awesome idea this is and it came at just the right time for me. I’m transitioning out of my first bodybuilding prep into an off season after nationally qualifying and I’ve been struggling to figure out how to balance my career with bodybuilding. In the next couple of months I’m hoping to align my career more closely with my passions and learn to manage stress. I work full time in marketing and graphic design. I’m so excited to be part of this community and please let me know if there’s any way I can contribute to new initiatives!”

    - PRO BODYBUILDER

  • "I wanted to take a moment to thank Phillipa and Teresa for organizing this amazing community! I am the founder of a recently launched clean performance skincare company for athletes, by Olympians. Launchbreak has been an incredible support system and community through our launch and I have found brand partners, interns and advisory board members through this platform! Super excited to be here and thankful for this likeminded community of amazing female athletes doing amazing things."

    - FORMER DI ATHLETE

  • Hi Launchbreak community! I wanted to take the time to share some exciting news. I recently accepted a position for a new job! I specifically wanted to announce this good news with you all because my success would not have been possible without the help of my Launchbreak mentor who has continuously helped me navigate my job hunt and given me insight into the type of career I’d like to build for myself. I’m always learning from our conversations and am grateful to have been paired with her! Thank you to the Launchbreak team for organizing this mentorship program. I can’t wait to continue to grow with you all!
