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!

Reflection and Prayer
What do you do the night before your show? I know there can feel like a lot going on from checking in with your coach to athlete check ins to the first coat of tan but when do you stop and say to yourself ‘I MADE IT’?
Reflection and prayer is so important to me prior to the competition.
If I don’t stop to really acknowledge how much God, my loved ones, my coach, and my body supported me through the prep; I feel empty.
But when I really take the time to relish in all the process has given my life and all that my life has given to the process I feel; empowered, fulfilled, grounded, grateful.
To bring joy and confidence to the stage I truly believe we need to have joy and confidence within.
You cannot fake it, act it, or try to model it. It’s an energy to be embodied and radiated.
For me, if I can connect to the little light in me (thanks Jesus), I can “let it shine”.
How do you bring that light out so others can feel it when your heel hits the stage?
I encourage you to consider, if you haven’t yet, the night before the show as you go to sleep to pray and reflect in gratitude and peace. ❤️🙏🏻
This is one reason why we must #BuildMoreThanJustaBody all year round, so when it’s time to hit the stage, we can show more than our body ✨💖
