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!

ANA SALLES; Brazil to USA, Motherhood & Fitness, Making it Work
Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPTToday I speak with IFBB Pro An Salles, a mom, wife, personal trainer with a masters degree in Political Science. She moved from Brazil to the US in 2011 and earned her certification in Sports Nutritionist and Personal Trainer through NASM. She started coaching athletes for competitions before she stepped on stage myself. She and her husband work together doing online and in person coaching. With her busy life, she never prioritized a show for herself, but finally did one in May 2022 where she won overall. In July 2022, she won first place in both Open class and Masters over 35 at Universe.
Ana shares how she and her husband live the bodybuilding lifestyle and support each other in their athletic endeavors. They are raising their daughter to live a healthy lifestyle as well!
