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 Jill Humphrey, a wife, mom of 2 college age kids & 2 fur babies, Founder & CEO of SOLA CBD, co-coach of Team Special Forces. She competed form 2005 to 2010 when her kids were little before “retiring”, and then decided to return to the stage in October 2020 after being in prep nearly a year.  When her kids were little, bodybuilding gave Jill a way to focus on herself. As her kids left for college, the sport helped her stay grounded as she adjusted to them not being home. She earned her Pro Card in July 2021 NPC Universe and made her Pro debut in 2022 at Master’s Worlds.

Starting her CBD company in 2018 has put her in a position to help so many people on their journey to healing and wellness. She’s able to create products that really make an impact on people's quality of life.
