In this episode, host Celeste Rains-Turk speaks with 25 year old Italian Pro, Alessia Facchin who started competing in 2015 after struggling with her relationship with food due to her job in modeling. She began to see her body change as she committed to the gym and found her first coach who encouraged her to try competing where she found her passion. Since then she became a dietologist, earned her pro card in 2018 and now pursues her dream of stepping on the Olympia stage as she works as an online trainer and posing coach. Tune in to hear Alessia tell us why she has always dreamt of stepping on the Olympia stage, how competing saved her life, and what she has done to continuously improve and bring her personal best. Alessia talks to us about how she works as a coach, what she loves about being a sponsored athlete, and how she had to change her posing around as an international athlete. She even shares how she has used competing as a way to learn new languages, make her own clothing, helping other competitors, and developing great friendships.
