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).
In today’s episode, I chat with IFBB Pro Keria Orsatti, who earned her Pro card at 2024 NPC Universe after just three national shows. Keria began competing in 2021 and brings an athletic background in tennis, softball, and dance.
Keria shares her journey of overcoming an eating disorder in high school and managing anxiety during prep, all while working full-time in public relations and marketing and coaching both prep and lifestyle clients. Her story is one of mental strength, faith, and learning how to optimize your time while living the bodybuilding lifestyle. Tune in for an inspiring and honest conversation about what it really takes to go Pro while staying grounded in your values.
