When I Grow Up

In this inspiring episode of When I Grow Up, Paul sits down with Nicole Tovey, lawyer turned bodybuilding champion and now sought-after women's fitness coach. Nicole shares how a chance career detour took her from Adelaide's legal world to Bermuda's pink-sand shores, and ultimately into the world of competitive bodybuilding.

She opens up about the highs and lows of competing, from salsa dancing and strength training to the mental and physical toll of the sport — and why she made the decision to step away at the peak of her career. Nicole also recounts a near career-ending brush with banned substances and how it shaped her values as an athlete and coach.

Today, Nicole helps women over 35 break free from yo-yo dieting, embrace strength training, and build bodies that feel as good at 80 as they do now. She discusses the importance of longevity, the myths that hold women back in the gym, and why a toned, strong physique is absolutely attainable at any age.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to transform your health, or you're curious about the mindset it takes to reinvent yourself, this episode will leave you motivated to take action, and maybe even pick up those dumbbells.
