You Can’t Make This Up


At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist.

We are back for our 3rd coach series and I want to preface this week by saying every coach I am bringing on is a professional with their own achievements, education, and experience. Many of them you will recognize as well-known names. If I could fit every amazing coach in the bikini competition world on the show, we would have a whole other podcast, but I am so excited about the coach’s I will be conducting these interviews with. None of the coaches have paid to come on and there will be as limited bias as possible. Every episode will contain the same set of questions for the coaches along with specific topics for each coach to expand on or opportunities to learn from and get to know them more! This series is all about getting some serious understanding about who these coaches are, what their philosophy is and even asking them questions others might be afraid to ask them. The intention is for you all to learn not just about them and their style but also learn from them and their expertise. Plus! you can use the questions I ask to interview other coaches you have on your radar. This is not a popularity contest, a who is better than who, or a which is the right way fight, this is about truly highlighting the individual strengths and systems each of these coaches have to offer competitors in their own passionate way because we all know everyone is different and so are these coaches. I understand athletes have varying experiences with coaches and unfortunately in an episode I cannot fully capture every review of every coach either. We will be featuring: Ivan Madarang https://www.instagram.com/geektophysique/ Sean Irwin https://www.instagram.com/seanirwin_/ Lexie Maitland https://www.instagram.com/lexiemait/ David DesMesquita https://www.instagram.com/dynamite_d/ Casey Marshall https://www.instagram.com/caseymfit/ Drew and Jordan Brannon https://www.instagram.com/drewbrannon08/ and https://www.instagram.com/jayybrannon_ifbbpro/ Coach's Week Questions: What is your coaching philosophy? What kind of mental physical and even emotional toll does coaching take on you? How do you handle these types of demands? What do you think makes a coach a ‘good’ coach? What do you think is the difference between a good athlete and a phenomenal, winning champion athlete What do you have to say to the people who say politics with teams plays a role in their client’s placing? Or that all of this is political? How do you make your client’s health a priority? What are some common misconceptions that people have about this sport when they come to you? What does each coach believe to be the most ‘overlooked’ component by bikini athletes for success in the sport?! Hypothetical Round: If I am 1 year into competing with a few overall wins under my belt and my goal is to get my pro card and I have never stepped on the national stage and have been working with the same coach for all those SHOWS but was looking for a new approach why would I hire you? If I am 4 weeks out from a show and keep saying I don’t feel ready, but you believe I am, what is your response? Let's say someone comes to you wanting to compete or considering it, what is something you want them to know before they compete? Your client comes to you and says they have rebounded after their show and just wants to reverse it and get back to normal, what do you do? Rapid fire answer with 1 sentence or less then you can pick some to expand on Do you believe in using Waist trainers IIfym or structured meal plan Do you believe in using Fasted cardio? Fan of Water Cuts Steady state or HIIT for fatloss without sacrificing fullness especially in glutes? Anything I didn’t ask you that you think I should have? Then 1-3 topics chosen for each individual coach will be covered too throughout the episode!…

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Gina Switzeny a lifelong athlete who started lifting after graduating university. She struggled with her weight in high school and university due to never having proper guidance on health and nutrition. In 2008, she started working with a nutritionist who taught her about meal planning and macros. In 2011, she entered a fitness model contest where she saw Bikini athletes who were competing that day. From that moment on, she knew that was what she wanted to look like. She competed in her first show in 2012 and competed consistently for the next 10 years. Finally in 2022, she won her Pro Card at the IFBB Natural Pro Qualifier after winning the Overall Masters Bikini 35+. She is a virtual personal trainer and nutrition coach. Gina wants to help the general population find a way to prioritize their health and fitness. Gina says, “There were so many highs and lows, but I was determined and stuck to it, and thus was able to continue to improve and finally win. To me it's been about the journey and falling in love with the process of improving yourself over time. Too many people think of health and fitness as an all or nothing pursuit, but to me that is the wrong mindset. It's about choosing to do better everyday, which little by little brings you closer to your goals.” Topics covered include: -compete as a lifestyle. -body image issues for competitors -loving the process -moving on from failure -having support from her husband -staying close to stage weight -improving every day -goals for the Pro stage CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html Pro Tan Code: CELESTE CONNECT WITH GINA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bananasplitsquats/ Facebook - BananaSplitSquats YouTube - BananaSplitSquats Website - www.bananasplitsquats.com TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 4:35 life before bodybuilding 10:30 loving the process 12:37 lessons learned in bodybuilding 23:50 previous athletic activity 26:05 support from her husband 33:42 body image struggles 40:48 improving and staying consistent 44:10 changes between improvement season and prep 48:47 improving relationship with food 62:12 being a coach and trainer 66:18 advice for competitors CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE…

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Erin Kamm. She has been into fitness since an early age, having swam varsity swimming throughout Middle/High School; however, much of her life was overshadowed by a severe eating disorder that totally consumed her for over 15 years. But that all changed when she started weight training in 2015. What began simply as the desire to stay “skinny” and get abs, quickly turned into a true love for fitness and bodybuilding. Erin stepped on the NPC stage for the first time in the fall of 2016. She since competed in 10 regional shows and 8 national shows, before earning her IFBB Pro card at NPC Universe in 2022. Through bodybuilding, Erin has not only achieved ED recovery, but also discovered her love of competing and her passion and desire to inspire and help others overcome their own struggles and achieve their own health/fitness goals. She strives to teach her clients the importance of focusing on sustainability and balance to ensure that they can not only achieve their goals, but maintain them long term as well. Health is a top priority for Erin and her clients- not only physical health, but mental and emotional health as well.

To hear that so many of you have goals of being on my show means SO much to me When I meet you guys in person or receive messages or read reviews my heart always swells with so much gratitude and it humbles me as it feels like such a privilege to have been the first podcast of this kind but to also be among your most meaningful moments of your journey from cardio to meal prep or getting your mind right throughout the day… THANK YOU!!!! :)…

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Laura Tarbell who did her first prep in the spring of 2007 for seven short weeks and won my bikini pro card with the WNSO. Six weeks later, she placed third at the Pro World Championships. She immediately loved competing because it felt like the perfect combination of the two things she loved most growing up, sports and stage performance. She played basketball and studied to be a music teacher in college, but felt like she was called to be a coach. She continued to compete until 2009 when she started my family. Eight years later, she decided I wanted to go after an IFBB Pro card, just to prove to herself that with 4 kids and at the age of 40, she could do it. In 2020 she made it happen and her next goal is to win a masters Pro show. She now coaches for Nutrition Dynamic doing both competition prep and functional nutrition.

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Jazmine Osborne, personal trainer, & posing coach who started competing in 2015 and turned pro in 2019 at her second national show. She made her Pro debut in 2020 at the NorCal show! She initially started competing when she was still in college and only wanted to compete once as a bucket list item. She immediately started looking forward to her next show! Jazmine speaks to the importance of finding pride in the process and not the placing. She talks about not feeling ready for her first National show and feeling discouraged after placing 15th. But that gave her perspective to know where she needed to improve. Jazmine tells us about how she worked with her coach to fine tune her body for a balanced physique that meets the bikini criteria. She admits to feeling uncomfortable with the amount of food she had to eat in order to grow, but also noticed how her lifts improved. She learned to trust the process and trust her coach, which paid off! We talk about how Jazmine navigated her relationships outside of bodybuilding and how things changed. With communication and understanding, she has been able to maintain friendships through prep even though other friends were not into bodybuilding. Jazmine’s journey is really special.
