In this episode Celeste speaks with Yeshaira Robles Rivera, a 6x pro champion who has been competing since 2011 and has stepped on both the Arnold and Olympia stages, designer for her husband's clothing line Conviction Bodybuilding apparel and mother. Celeste kicks off the episode the way she always does by having Yeshaira share with listeners her pre stage ritual.
 
From there the women discuss Yeshaira’s vulnerability on her social media platforms and what made her decide to share the triumphs and struggles of her journey as well as the wins and successes. Celeste and Yeshaira then talk about body image and how Yeshaira’s perspectives have changed over the years since having children.
 
Yeshaira also talks about her journey of going back and forth between competing and deciding to have her first and second child. The conversation transitions to Yeshaira’s struggles with staying consistent with working out and eating healthy in between shows and what drove her to put on her game face and prep hard for the Arnold this past March.
 
Yeshaira also shares details from her application to the Arnold and why competing at that show, especially as a mom, was so important to her. Celeste then asks about Yeshaira’s experience competing at such a prestigious show without an audience. From there the conversation transitions into Yeshaira’s relationship with her husband and she tells listeners the story of how they met, what made her decide to compete, and what it’s like being coached by her husband.
 
Celeste opens the conversation to the topic of body image and relationships with food and how Yeshaira approaches those subjects with her daughters and also how Yeshaira herself approaches these topics while living her “new normal.” Celeste asks Yeshaira about competing and all things posing and stage presentation even with diastasis recti, or the separation of the abdomen, from her pregnancies.
 
Yeshaira and Celeste discuss the evolution of the bikini division between 2010, when Yeshaira first got into the sport, and now, and how her training and nutrition has changed over the years. From there Yeshaira shares more about her relationship with her husband, how they keep things fun after being together for so long, and how she became apart of his clothing line, Conviction Bodybuilding apparel, and the vision her husband has for the community.
 
Yeshaira also shares what it was like growing up in the ghetto in the Bronx, New York. Celeste asks Yeshaira what her normal day to day looks like and how she finds balance and prioritizes time with family despite having such a busy schedule.
 
Celeste concludes the episode by asking Yeshaira for her best advice for women who are afraid to take time away from competing to become moms, as well as for mothers who are looking to get their start in competing.
