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

The Best Tools for Mental Performance

July 02, 20251 min read

Ever questioned how it’ll feel to walk on stage? Whether it’s your first time or your 14th time, I know the nerves and jitters still come out because of how much you care!

You’ve put your all into prep and want to make sure it shows on stage. All those hours of posing practice, you want it reflected up there.

Then the doubts kick in. What if I____?? Fall, stumble, forget my routine, mess up, go too fast, go too slow, don’t go to the side they told me to, get rushed off by the girl behind me, lose an earring, my suit comes untied or breaks….? THE LIST GOES ON!

I’ve heard it all!

I can honestly say this last year of competing was the best I ever felt before going on stage and when on stage.

It is even hard for me to describe it in detail but I felt grounded, at ease, and in control of my jitters.

I was able to control the body shakes when they started and it was like everything fell away when I hit the stage.

I am going to be sharing some of my best tools for mental performance for excellence which will govern you specific rituals, strategies, and even a structured calendar for your mental performance that will support the physical during my webinar series.

It’ll be the second webinar of the series. You can learn more and sign up to be on with us LIVE or catch the replay at:
