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

Things you won't admit about competing

July 08, 20251 min read

Here’s what most won’t admit to you about competing:

🏆 Winning doesn’t fix your mindset

🍽 Food freedom doesn’t come from hitting your macros

😍 Confidence isn’t something you earn from placing first

🦵Your Physique will be in Constant Evolution so don’t expect Stage look year round

🫂 Relationships and Memories may not always be there but the stage will

This is why I created the Build More Than Just a Body Webinar Series.

To help athletes stop spiraling and start healing WITHOUT sacrificing their fitness and physique goals

Because the real prep?

The one that lasts?

It’s mental.

Inside this webinar series, I’ll be covering topics including; self-sabotage & maladaptive coping, food relationship, making macros more joyful, emotional health & communication, overcoming anxiety & fear, mental performance for excellence, stress management, self-image

No fluff. No surface-level tips. Just real, practical psychology for athletes who want to stay in the sport and stay sane.

You don’t have to choose between mental peace and physical excellence.

You can have both.

And it starts when you choose to #BuildMoreThanJustaBody
