Today I speak with IFBB Pro Laura Ziv, an athlete, personal trainer, nutritionist and business owner. Laura grew up in the south of France, she has always been very sporty and has had a taste for competition since a very young age, having participated in the French horse riding championships for several years. After the death of her father, she fell into alcohol and drugs. In 2018, she discovered bodybuilding and finally managed to get rid of her unhealthy habits and live a happy life that fulfilled her.   She has since opened several coaching companies and was one of the pioneers in coaching with electrostimulation at the international level, becoming an expert in the field. She earned her Pro card in 2020 at the British Finals and completed in the 2022 Olympia after winning the 1 Bro Pro show in the UK.      TOPICS COVERED -why she started bodybuilding -dealing with weight gain -taking time to grow -leaving a relationship  -flexibility in posing -bodybuilding in France -dangerous coaching practices -community in bodybuilding -losing her father at a young age -being a business owner -supporting financial growth   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 LAURA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauraziv_official/ Website: https://getstarted.lauraziv.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurazivifbbpro   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 3:48 feedback from the Olympia 9:10 two months of no tracking 12:50 being in an unhealthy relationship 18:30 approaching relationships & competing  22:10 comparing ourselves to others 23:57 working towards another Olympia 27:15 common mistakes 32:10 working as a coach & posing coach 35:21 the Olympia experience  40:15 discovering bodybuilding & leaving drugs and alcohol 45:18 running many businesses 49:13 knowing when to push 53:35 building an empire 64:50 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
