Today I speak with IFBB Pro Victoria Parella, who began competing at the age of 20, in the OCB. After two shows, she switched to the NPC to take competing more seriosuly. She took a four year hiatus to focus on health and things outside of competing. Then she game back and competed in 12 shows, including 6 national shows, and earned her Pro card at 2022 Nationals. She works as an online coach for posing, fitness, and nutrition. Tori is currently in nursing school and is looking forward to her Pro debut!   TOPICS COVERED -eating disorder -mental illness and mindset -reinventing yourself -sharing every phase -planning a Pro debut -the pressure to turn Pro -when to have kids -taking time off -healing gut and hormones   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html   CONNECT WITH TORI: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_torinatorfitness_/ TikTok: @torinatorfitness_   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 4:10 dance background influencing posing 5:40 battling with anorexia 12:10 reinventing yourself 19:40 current focus outside of competing 23:55 pausing one dream for another 35:34 day in the life 38:50 feedback at National shows 43:00 changing up training 46:15 moments on stage winning her Pro card 54:45 standout moments in her career 61:50 taking a 4 year break 78:28 her experience as a coach 84:20 advice for competitors   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES   LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE
