Celeste kicks off the Mother’s Day series talking to Shayla Hubbard, an IFBB Bikini Professional who has a mission to inspire others to be happy and healthy, loves to teach others how to eat out is possible while sticking to their goals, and is currently 35 weeks pregnant with her first child! 

Celeste starts off the episode by asking Shayla about her pre-stage ritual and before diving into the topic of pregnancy, Celeste asks Shayla about her experience with thyroid cancer. Shayla shares what led her to find out she even had cancer to begin with and how that inspired her to decide to pursue competing and the effect that her cancer recovery had on her competing career over time. 

Next, Celeste asks Shayla about her strategies and tips for eating out while staying on track with her health and fitness goals. Shayla goes into how the “If It Fits Your Macros” approach has helped her and how to go about incorporating that into your lifestyle even during a diet period. 

Shayla talks about the importance goal setting has in her day to day and how she uses those goal setting practices to help her succeed and not feel overwhelmed or compare herself to others. 

Celeste then asks Shayla about how her priorities and expectations of her circumstances have changed since becoming pregnant. Shayla shares what drove her decision to start family planning and becoming pregnant shortly after earning her pro card and the journey and experiences she and her husband went through with infertility, discussing the mental and emotional tolls it took on the both of them. 

Shayla opens the conversation to the topic of her menstrual cycle and how her experiences with losing it because of competing could have affected her ability to get pregnant. From there, Celeste and Shayla dive into a vulnerable dialogue of each individual’s experiences with the loss of a period or continuous bleeds and the steps they took to get it back, the emotions involved and the mental work they had to do to stay positive and assure themselves they were making the best decisions for their health. 

Shayla discusses how she uses the strategy of goal setting and affirmations to help keep her calm and focused on what she can control to have the best possible outcome during uncertain situations. 

Celeste then asks Shayla about her feelings of being pregnant while dealing with the coronavirus situation. Shayla concludes the episode by sharing with listeners her best advice for newbie competitors and girls on their road to pro.
