In this episode, Host Celeste Rains-Turk has an intimate
conversation with Carla Garthwaite, a posing and competition prep
coach who has her own line of waist trainers, Cinched by Carla. She
is known for repping girls with tattoos on stage and wants to be
the first sleeved Olympian. This pro is married with kids and has
proven time and time again that you can overcome challenges and
recreate your life with consistency and the commitment to being
better.
Tune in to hear Carla open up about the impact bodybuilding and
chasing wins has had on her marriage and relationship with her
kids. She opens up about realizing that she had put her hubby on
the backburner and explains what happened that led her to stop
posting about / tagging her kids on Instagram.
Carla also discusses the pressure she felt as an amateur compared
to the pressure she feels now as a pro. She shares her experience
in the pro league and tells us what prepping for nearly 5 years
straight with hardly any time off has been like. She shares how
much she is enjoying her time off now to focus on her family. With
this, she takes us through a rough break she had and how the post
show blues hit her hard sending her into a big breakthrough about
future reverse diets, body dysmorphia, getting comfortable with
eating more and filling out like the judges have asked her to.
Carla talks about what a normal day looks like for her as a full
time mom, competitor, and coach. She answers questions submitted by
you like if she could only pick one exercise to do for the rest of
her life for shoulders, glutes, and hams what they would be.
We also discuss fit shaming and how to respond to people. Celeste
explains how grief plays a role in this and Carla discusses what
she does to handle it and how she has been able to move
forward.
Because Carla takes pride in who she is, she explains how she helps
her posing clients embrace themselves too and how she encourages
other competitors to fit the mold without changing who they are
completely. On this subject, she shares why she thinks there hasn't
been a sleeved Olympian yet and then gives us insight into how she
polishes her look in such a way that she feels has helped her land
top placings.
