Hill, someone people are calling a prodigy in the sport since
starting in June 2018 to being Olympia qualified 15 months later
this athlete has a Bachelors degree in athletic training and a goal
of earning her doctorate in physical therapy, she is showing
everyone that you can balance your life while being successful as a
competitor.
Tune in to hear not just the training and nutrition protocol she
follows but more so the mindset she has cultivated to attract and
accept the success she has been having. We get into how she grew
her glutes while bringing her legs down, how being close to her
coach Paul Revlia has made a difference in her life, and how she
was able to center herself in the experience more than the
result.
Daraja opens up about how she has been able to create sponsorship
opportunities through ambassadorships and what her 'just say yes'
mentality has done for her. She talks about her beliefs that keep
her moving forward as well as how she trains in the gym. She talks
about her fiances adjustment to her personal development and
success too.
Daraja and Celeste get into post-show weight gain, making peace
with a new identity, and learning to focus on performance above all
else. They get into the beauty of passion driven decisions,
trusting your gut, and going after what you want. They also share
why having goals outside of competing is so important and how it
keeps you focused. Celeste and Daraja also discuss how empowering
sharing love and appreciation for others is as well as how
meaningful it is when people share love and appreciation to
us.
In this episode Daraja also talks about how she is focusing on
bringing her best for the Olympia, whether or not she will be
applying for the Arnold, and why judges feedback has been so
beneficial for her over the last 15 months.
Daraja also discusses how she manages balancing all the different
areas of her life and how the structure of prep has forced her to
create structure in other areas of life from school to work to
relationships. And shares how she makes time for herself.

life, feelings about her success, and even covering some of the
questions submitted by listeners to Celeste's Instagram Story
