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!

KARENE RICHARDS-WISE; CEO of Your Life, Godly Marriage, Mathematics, Business & Finance Building
Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPTToday I speak with IFBB Pro Karene Richards-Wise, a health coach, pro athlete, board member, finance chair and inspirational speaker with 18 years experience in Investment Banking. She is also the former CEO of the Association for Women in Science. After her mom died at age 48 from breast cancer, she decided to live her life differently and practice better self care. After her own health scare, Karene hired a health coach and achieved an incredible physique transformation. In 2019 Karene was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of African Descent under 40 by the United Nations. She currently serves on the boards for both The Association For Women in Science and The National Speakers Association.”
