In this episode, Celeste speaks with Maia Gordon, an IFBB Bikini Pro who qualified for the Olympia at her pro debut at the first ever Ben Weider Natural Show and had originally gotten into the sport of bodybuilding as a way to challenge herself.
 
Celeste and Maia first talk about the art and importance of posing and how Maia studied routines of the athletes she had looked up to before even stepping on stage for the first time. Maia also shares the approach she takes as a posing coach and how she sets herself apart from others.
 
Celeste and Maia discuss the strategies that Maia has taken, both in prep and her improvement season, that helped her to achieve a winning physique. Maia talks about the changes she’s made to her training based off the judges feedback to bring her best physique to the Olympia stage as well as the adjustments in her methods of training as the Coronavirus outbreak temporarily forced her into at-home workouts.
 
Maia shares her strategies and plans she has for competing leading up to the Olympia despite the uncertainty surrounding the postponement of shows due to the pandemic. Celeste and Maia talk about Maia’s favorite exercises for hamstrings, glutes, and shoulders, and from there dive into the topic of mindset and mental work and Celeste shares valuable insights on how this work is not only helpful for competing but in any goal one sets for themselves in life.
 
Maia shares with us how she got into bodybuilding and how learning to “trust the process” was something she had to learn to understand through experience and wasn’t something she believed right off the bat.
 
Celeste asks Maia about the Ben Weider Natural and Maia gives us details on how a natural show is run and how they go about drug testing the athletes. Celeste concludes the episode by asking Maia her advice for both novice competitors and girls on their journey to getting their pro card.

    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!
