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!

In today’s episode, I sit down with 2025 Olympia-qualified IFBB Pro Kerry Sexton—an online fitness and posing coach from the UK, co-host of Beyond the Stage, and an athlete with over 40 competitions under her belt since earning her Pro card in 2019!

We dive deep into posing during the improvement season, the mindset needed to stay in love with the sport, navigating PMDD, and how bodybuilding can truly transform your life. Kerry opens up about the highs and lows of competing, the importance of following your plan post-show, and why no single show should ever define you.

-love for the sport

-struggles with PMDD

-bodybuilding improving your life

-following your plan post-show

-working around injuries

-don’t let one show define you
