The Confessions of a Bikini Pro Podcast was established in May of 2018 as the first and only place where IFBB Bikini Pros share their struggles, strategies, stories, insights, and advice in a real, raw, and vulnerable setting. Host, Celeste Rains-Turk, dives into the parts of these professionals' lives that aren't always openly discussed in the public eye or on social media (You know, the stuff we tend to wonder about the most).
The goal of this podcast is to educate, inspire, and remind other competitors, athletes, or the average gym goer that even the most elite professionals face hardships, health problems, mental obstacles, and other adversities.
There are a wide range of topics discussed including, but DEFINITELY NOT limited to; post-show rebound, health complications, eating disorders, mental illnesses, winning mindset, dealing with losses, judges feedback, approaches to the stage, life outside of competing, money, relationships, philosophy, pursuing passions, and SO MUCH MORE!

CASEY HILL; Hormonal Work & Body Image for Enhanced Athletes, Broken Engagement in Peak Week, Appreciate & Give the Support
Today I speak with IFBB Pro Casey Hill, born and raised in northeast Ohio and currently living in Tampa. She works for a Matrix Hormones as a weigh loss specialist. Casey started competing in 2017 when she competed in 3 national qualifying shows and placed top 5 in all 3. She took of 2018 to grow and fix hormone issues and returned to the stage in 2019 when she competed in her first National show, getting last call outs. She took off 2021 to focus on personal growth and relationships and life outside of competing.
She then started coaching with Ashlyn Little and started her 2022 season placing 3rd at Grl Power. She then returned to the National stage and eventually won her Pro card at 2022 Nationals.
Casey is so open and honest in this interview. Every competitor will want to listen!
