Confessions of a Bikini Pro


Dec 16, 2022

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Kate Orara, a full-time Partner Development Manager for a point of sale solutions manufacturer. She is married to her high school sweetheart and is a mom of 2. She also works as the sales manager for Boss Bodies.  Her first competition in bodybuilding was in 2008 in figure. Once the bikini division was created, she switch and turned pro at NPC Universe in July 2021. Before turning Pro, she competed in 10 national level shows starting in 2015 earning more last callouts than first.

 

Kate shares her experience as a mother and how she prioritizes her family, even as a bikini Pro and full-time professional. She talks about the times when she considered stopping competing and why she decided to keep going.

 

Her goal is to prove to herself as well as others that competing can enhance your life and NOT take it over. It IS possible to have balance.

 

Topics covered include:

-dealing with rebounds post-show

-Blinders on. Execute. Finish

-being a mom of teenagers

-balancing life with bodybuilding

-having faith in her journey

-deciding not to give up

-goals as a Pro
