Welcome back to another episode of Everything & The Gym! This week, Shelbi sits down with the ever-encouraging and kind-hearted Patty Zesch—a true gym cheerleader and single mom on a mission.
Patty opens up about her unique upbringing as one of ten siblings, all homeschooled, and how her childhood was filled with horseback rides and family bike trips. She gets candid about life after high school, including the courage it took to leave an unhealthy marriage while pregnant with her second child.
We dive into the reality of balancing motherhood, work, and fitness—and how a friend's push to hit the gym post-COVID helped her transform her life. What started with home workouts during lockdown turned into a passion for bodybuilding. Patty has already competed in one show (and placed!) and now has her sights set on two more this summer.
This episode is full of light, laughter, and pure inspiration. Patty’s story reminds us that strength comes in many forms—and sometimes it starts with just showing up.
