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!

All show notes, episode time stamps, links, and information can be found on www.celestial.fit/podcast

Why competitors get Post-Show Blues

Why competitors get Post-Show Blues

June 02, 20251 min read

Ever wonder where the post-show blues even come from and why they’re so common among athletes?

Although it can sometimes feel like something you need to hide in order to protect your competitor identity and appear to have it all together, it’s important to know there are probably tons of others going through it too

Even after years of competing, this last show brought some post show blues for me because I knew it was the end for me. But it also brought soooo many beautiful lessons. 

And the blues didn’t last very long because I was so focused on the fulfillment of each day and finding happiness there as well as in the continued process of reverse dieting and training. 

I also had a whole list of goals on a google doc that was really exciting for me to focus on toward the end of prep as a reminder that I have more to look forward to!

While I wish I could really capture it all in one post, I can’t! I’d encourage you to enroll in the free post show blues coaching series I have and or the free food relationship coaching series if your struggle is more food related post show
