In this episode, host Celeste
Rains-Turk, speaks with Lauren Adams, who won first place and
turned pro at NPC USA’s in 2019 after 5 years of competing and
doing 6 national shows! She has competed 13 times, is a posing
coach for bikini and wellness division and does bikini competition
prep online coaching and lifestyle training.
Tune in to hear Lauren and Celeste get into all sorts of 'swept
under the rug' topics that even writing about them here would be
questionable. Lauren shares how she got into competing, what
horrible experience she had with a coach that made her sickly and
emaciated, how she gave up weighing her food and it hasn't made her
any less intense or competitive, and what she did to overcome
lingering health issues including getting off thyroid meds.
Lauren gets real about her perspective on bodybuilding and the
awareness required coming into the sport of the potential risks and
mental shifts that will be demanded. She also talks about how she
learned from her mistakes and now is able to listen to her body's
cues much more, communicate her needs and expectations with her
coaches now, and what she does to determine if she is really giving
her all.
Celeste shares some of the tools she gives her clients for decision
making and body image. Lauren reflects on how she has been able to
gain more acceptance with her body and the desire to build more
muscle meaning putting on some fat tissue too. Lauren even shares
how she has never been able to fully stick to a reverse diet but
that she has her own ways that work for her to achieve her
goals.
Lauren answers listener questions like her most memorable stage
experience and if she is ever going to switch divisions. She also
talks about what it feels like to be so close you can taste it and
taking in the now without becoming hyper-focused on the end
goals.
With her experience in posing and coaching Lauren's presence at NPC
and IFBB meetings has allowed her to gain an understanding of the
wellness division and talks about what girls need to consider
before thinking abut switching divisions.
This episode covered SOOO much and both Lauren and Celeste went
into great depth together in a conversation you won't want to
miss.
