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!

STEPHANIE HING; Filling Out for Stage, Lifestyle 180, Health is #1, Collection of Memories
Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPTToday I speak with Australian IFBB Pro Stephanie Hing. She recently spent 7 years living and working in Los Angeles, but is now back at home in Sydney, Australia. She competed in 2 regional and 3 National shows before getting her pro card in 2020. She works full time as a Senior Product designer. Stephanie talks about the mental barriers she experienced during her first and only national season when she had to put on 4 pounds after previously coming in too lean.
After earning her pro card, she realized that she did not have a proper cycle after coming off birth control. After countless doctors visits, tests and money spent on all kinds of supplements, she was diagnosed with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. It took her a year and a half to get her cycle back.
Stephanie shares her journey through this and what it has taught her about herself! You don’t want to miss this interview!
Topics covered include:
-struggles with Hypothalamic Amenorrhea
-confidence on stage
-dealing with prep goggles
-deciding to stop oral birth control and fixing her hormones
-returning to Australia during COVID
-changing mindset to regain health
-when to embrace the “all or nothing” mindset
-being comfortable with asking questions
-a reason behind the actions
