Damian Segovia and I dive deep into YOUR questions in this episode of Cylence Unlocked, and you already know we don’t hold anything back. I’m Cydney Gillon, eight-time Figure Olympia champion, and Damian’s not just my coach, he’s a huge force behind the scenes who's helped build multiple Olympians across different categories. We open up about self-sabotage, navigating lifestyle changes when relationships are tested, mental health in bodybuilding, and what it really takes to stay natural in a world that often pushes shortcuts. Plus, we share real, raw backstage stories, the good, the bad, and the ones that almost changed everything. If you’re ready for honest conversations about what it really takes to stay true to yourself while chasing greatness, this episode is for you. We’re here to uplift, educate, and keep it all the way real. Let’s lock in and level up!
