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 Kylee Solomon, a Tampa-based competitor originally from Jacksonville, Florida. Kylee started competing in 2020 and earned her Pro card at 2023 USA’s—at just her third show ever!
We talk about her evolution in the sport, navigating life’s challenges, and what it’s taken for her to stay grounded and intentional on her journey. Kylee shares her experience with competing alongside her husband and brother, stepping into a new role as a posing coach, and learning to listen to her body and trust herself through the process.
Tune in now for a raw and honest conversation about mindset, growth, and trusting the process!
