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!

All show notes, episode time stamps, links, and information can be found on www.celestial.fit/podcast

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Jade-Kelsie Wolfenden, a personal trainer, nutritionist, and posing coach from the UK who earned her Pro card in 2019 at the UK Olympia Amateur. She started competing in 2015 trying out a few different federations before she found the NPC. She was diagnosed with epilepsy on her 21st birthday and has since transformed her lifestyle. She was told she wouldn’t be able to compete but that fueled her passion for the stage. Jade wants to show people that if you are told something that you can’t do - DO IT anyway because you can. 

TOPICS COVERED

-overcoming eating disorders 

-dealing with bullying

-living with epilepsy

-complications from epilepsy and being in a coma 

-building confidence through bodybuilding

-being revived after being clinically dead
