In this episode, Celeste Rains-Turk brings on a mother of 2,
coach, singer, actress, and human resources professional from the
Bay Area who earned her procard at her first national show at the
age of 43 in 2016, Charina Baker.
Charina discusses her childhood and adolescence, growing up in a
third world country with her mother for a role model and
support. Charina goes into the importance of her family time
and how she fears missing out on her children's lives so she is
prioritizing them over competing.
Charina talks about her approach to training and nutrition in the
off season and it is contrary to what most pros do. She
discusses how risilient she became to being teased, how she trains
with scoliosis, the importance of connecting with judges on stage,
the number on the scale meaning nothing, and how she went from
being a top 10 vegan in PETA to no longer conforming to any dietary
label.
