Today, Celeste is speaking with one of her
coaches and best friends. Ingrid Romero grew up in Barcelona,
Spain. She left the country to pursue modeling, eventually arriving
in the USA. She became an IFBB Pro in 2010 and mother to twin boys
in 2012. She and her husband own Team Edge Global. Celeste has been
working with Ingrid and her husband, Joe, since 2017.
Celeste breaks the ice by asking
Ingrid what she did before stepping on stage. Ingrid admits that
she always needed to be alone and kept to herself. Now as a coach,
she recognizes bodybuilding is a team sport. As soon as she stepped
on stage, the nerves went away.
Ingrid talks about the challenges and
adversity she had growing up and how it gave her the strength to
become the person she is today. She always knew she was different
and would do something with her life. When she was living in
London, she struggled with binge eating, partying, and drinking.
This led her to try all of the fad diets, which all failed. When
she found competing, she realized that food was meant to serve her
body.
Celeste asks Ingrid how she balances
competing with other aspects of life. Ingrid admits she doesn’t
think she has balance figured out completely. When she is involved
in on aspect, he gives it 100% and maybe that is her idea of
balance.
Ingrid tells how at her last show,
she was 2 months pregnant and didn’t know it. The morning after the
show, she took a pregnancy test and as shocked to learn she was
pregnant. When she learned she was pregnant with twins, she
couldn’t believe it but was so happy. This is when she knew she
would start her own team. Her boys were born premature and and
spent two months in the NICU. She built Team Edge during all of
this.
While some people become paralyzed
when they scared, Ingrid will do whatever it takes to make her
goals happen. Ingrid says working on mindset is the first key to
having success. You have to believe your services are needed and
clients will come your way. When you have a set back, you need to
stop and think of the steps you need to take to overcome it. You
always have to be ready to learn and take action.
Ingrid knew if she took action
everyday and kept moving forward, she would stay on the right path.
She speaks to the power of imperfect action. Don’t wait for
everything to be perfect before you act.
After experiencing burnout, Ingrid
realized the importance of boundaries and clear communication. She
knows she cannot be at every show every weekend and still be able
to serve her clients and herself fully. Ingrid tells how Celeste
has helped her put systems in place to streamline her
work.
Celeste asks Ingrid what clients
should look for when looking for a coach. Ingrid says getting on
the phone and talking to a prospective coach is the most important
way to see if you have a good feeling about a coach. You need to
have chemistry with your coach.
Ingrid talks about the launch of her
mastermind program, She’s Got Brand. It’s a membership program to
help women find and retain clients. She wants to help people do
what she’s done. You don’t have to have a pro card to be a
successful coach, but you have to show up authentically.
Celeste asks Ingrid how she sees the
bikini division evolving. Posing is one of the biggest factors of
your presentation. It not just about getting shredded. Ingrid
recommends hiring a position coach and being open to change.
Practice is the best thing you can do to showcase your
charisma.
Using mindfulness from the beginning
of the competition process is so important to help you deal with
any adversity you may meet. Don’t compare yourself to other, focus
on yourself and your personal growth.
Ingrid speaks to using show results
and judges’ feedback in her coaching decisions. You have to focus
on what each competitor can bring to the table. It takes time to
get results and you can’t rush things.
Celeste asks what Ingrid wanted to
accomplish by creating her own bikinis. It started with her and her
husband making them in their living room. She really wanted to give
the full package to their clients. She also rents suits to her team
to help them keep costs low.
Celeste closes out the interview with
Ingrid by talking about protecting your energy with your actions.
Ingrid will also help anyone who is having issues with their health
an encourages anyone to message her on Instagram.
