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!

Cycle of Self-Sabotage

December 31, 20251 min read

Self-Sabotage is often approached through the lens of stopping it in its tracks instead of seen as something that needs proactive intervention

I recently was brought on to the@physique_blueprintcommunity for another masterclass and this time covering self sabotage

Instead of making it an issue of criticism, will power, or discipline or only tackling it from a behavioral lens we really need to consider what’s happening cognitively to lead to these behaviors and that’s where I have found it’s generally rooted in high unfair expectations or limiting beliefs

The cycle goes like this:

1. Unfair expectations

2. Failure to meet expectations

3. Judgment and criticism

4. Convince yourself you need to do better

Then back to number 1 again

If you look at most of the patterns of sabotage in your life I’d encourage you to consider if my theory lines up. It’s not unusual as a mental health professional to consider that there’s more to it than we see on the surface but it’s also important for you to identify those specifics in the cycle and address them

If you’re looking for more support with this I invite you to work with me through my on demand mindset coaching platform or food relationship program all info can be found at: www.celestial.fit linked in my bio@celestial_fit🧠
