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!

LAURALIE CHAPADOS; No Regrets, Leaving Everything for Your Dream, Taking Risks, Being Humble, Mental Improvements, Becoming an Elite Athlete
Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPTIn this episode, host, Celeste Rains-Turk, speaks with the #2 Bikini Athlete in the world, 23 year old, Lauralie Chapados, AKA 'the dark horse', because she came out of nowhere and crushed her 2018 season landing her a spot at the Olympia where she earned second place. When this episode was recorded she was prepping for the Arnold Classic and next heads to the Arnold Australia.
Lauralie opens up about her struggles as an amateur with finances, work, and pressures of coaching herself. She shares openly about her journey to the pro level and the adversity she faced to win it in Canada. Lauralie tells us about how she got into competing at such a young age, what she thinks about heading into every competition, and what her game plan is for this season.
She discusses the impact of personal life changes, quitting her job, and pursuing her dream as being an elite athlete. Lauralie tells us what her feedback has been and what she is currently working on to bring something the judges have never seen her bring before. Lauralie even brings up the opportunities and dream life she has been able to achieve through having faith in her dreams and taking a leap of faith. She has no regrets, loves every day of her life, and is finding ways to be even more of an ambassador for the sport.
Lauralie teaches us some of her posing tricks, her approach to building muscle, and the mental challenges and rituals she has before shows.
She is a humble, sweet, and intelligent athlete and I am so excited for you all to hear this episode.
