Maya Astabie is a San Francisco native and honorary New Yorker, the athlete we are speaking with today is a Filipino-French 25-year old IFBB Bikini Pro. She is a proud FitBody Fusion Athlete and Ambassador happily rising and grinding every day to become the best version of herself! She believes that when we let our own UNIQUE light shine, we encourage others to do the same. When she’s not putting in work at the gym or cooking in the kitchen, you can find her hustling as a healthcare Advertising Account Executive. She feels most alive strutting on stage, in the zone at the gym or dancing at music festivals. She’s passionate about spreading positivity, training and traveling, the power of community and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

Tune in to hear Maya's journey to earning her pro card, the intense dedication to her coach and plan that would surprise most bodybuilders, what she loves about the grind, and how self-advocacy helped her find the perfect fit for a coach. She even answers questions from the audience!

She also discusses how she stays positive, what she does to work on her mental game (including being a member of the On-Demand Mindset Coaching Platform for Competitors), and shares some of her favorite quotes with us throughout the conversation.

Maya talks about what it was like to go pro within a year, how she feels about friends and the comradery in the sport as well as what her lifestyle was like before she found fitness including online shopping and drinking.

We also get into how early morning training has been a game changer for Maya and how she was able to adjust to early mornings using her alarm clocks as motivation. She shares her day to day life balancing work, life, and competing.

Maya reflects on things like what it was like to earn her pro card, adjusting to bodybuilding life, going to USAs, and her favorite cookie companies. She also shares how she maintains adherence to her plan and what helps her to do so even at music festivals.

In this episode, Celeste Rains-Turk chats with Noora Mahonen, 22 year old  Olympia qualified competitor who earned her pro card in July of 2018 and went on to place 2nd at her pro debut and has since won two pro shows. 

Noora talks about what got her into competing and how she stepped on stage for the first time at 17 years old. She shares what she has had to focus on given her body type and what she has done to level up since turning pro. 

Noora gives us some insight into what she learned from gaining 20 kilos in 2 weeks after one of her shows and how it impacted her preps. Celeste and she get into the impact of mindset work in physique sport longevity. They even discuss why finding a plan that you love is important and how to change your mindset to overcome pressure. 

Celeste asks Noora what it was like to go from getting second callouts one month to being Olympia qualified the next and how her perspective in the gym and with food has changed since knowing she would be on one of the most prestigious stages in bodybuilding.

Noora mentions how working with Breena Martinez was a game changer for transforming her posing and presentation and how often she practiced her posing to nail it. She also discusses what she does to maintain a full look when her body wants to get lean and flat so quickly.

The two get into Noora's usual day to day life, her love of travel, what she does when training 2x a day and how her shoot with JM Manion for the Miami Beach shoot was.

Noora shares great advice and experience throughout the episode that you won't want to miss.

CASEY TORRES (SAMSEL); Key to Longevity, Self-Coaching, Behind the Scenes of the Most Prestigious Shows, Becoming a Champion of the Sport, Enjoying Food, Walk the Talk

Self-coached from Day 1, 2013 to her IFBB Pro Status in 2015 and all Reverse and Improvement 'seasons' from 2013 to current… Host Celeste Rains-Turk speaks with Casey Samsel who qualified for 3 Bikini Olympia’s ('16, '19, '20) with self-coaching, while leading her competition and lifestyle clients to success on and off the stage as the owner and founder of Team Casey. 

Tune in to hear about how Casey views placing after her experience in 36 shows, why she has only asked for judges feedback 3-4 times, a comment from Steve Weinberger she won't forget, and how it felt to be so close to the Ms Bikini Olympia title in 2017. 

Casey shares a behind the scenes look at what really happens and goes through athletes heads at the Olympia and the Arnold and what it is like to compete there. She talks about what happens when the curtains close, what it's like being on the go for so many of the weekend events, and what the girls do to celebrate each other and the hard work they have all dedicated to be there.

Casey gets into why she prefers IIFYM and how she implements it in her day to day life even with consideration for her love of donuts. This opens up a conversation where Celeste and Casey shine light on what it means to enjoy food and how important making those mindful decisions are when it comes to food. 

Casey also shares how she has been able to self-coach herself and some of the challenges she has had to learn to overcome in the process of evolving as a self-coached, natural, IFBB pro. She relays her aspirations and reasoning behind earning a coveted title at the Arnold or the Olympia and discusses how her experience at the Ben Weider naturals differed from other pro shows she has competed in and why she stepped on that stage in the first place. 

During this episode we get into the values Casey holds for her business and clients and how she has upheld and created comradery among her athletes as well as individual success with close personal attention to every competitor and client.

She also imparts powerful insights into establishing longevity in this sport which closely align with Celeste's view of mindset being the catalyst for champions.

GINA SCAFOGLIO; Rave Culture, Comparison as a Strategy, Working through Debilitating Injuries, Enjoying Life, and Self-Awareness for Discipline

12/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Celeste Rains-Turk interviews Gina Scafoglio, a lifestyle and prep coach who has done 5 shows and self coached herself up until last year, we dive into lots of interesting, different, and perspective shifting topics like rave culture, reverse dieting, giving up control and trusting your coach, along with getting a spark back out of life.

We even dive into how Gina dealt with a debilitating injury leading up to USAs where she placed 1st and won her pro card then went on to place 4th at the prestigious Tampa Pro show.

Gina openly shares how she sets standards for herself in the improvement season despite having a very regimented/extreme plan, what she has done differently over the years to improve, and how she is sacrificing her love of competing short term to achieve her ultimate goal in the sport for long-term pleasure.

Gina talks about how important it is to her to enjoy life and how this impacts her when she gets back to work.

She talks about how she deals with every prep to bring her best before she even needs to be ready.

We get into why she decided to hire a coach after being self-coached, how her experience in the IFBB is different from the NPC, why she competes at all, and how she uses comparison to her advantage.
