Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Theresa Mendoza-Cura, who recently turned pro recently at the 2023 Muscle Contest Masters USA after competing for 7 years. She has been competing since December 2016 and has been working to earn her pro card 2018. She has competed in over a dozen shows and has worked  to make the best out of the situation and used the time to really develop the physique she needed to earn her pro card. She just started offering posing to newer athletes, including feedback, critiques, and routine development. Theresa also co-hosted a podcast series called Bikini Talks. Theresa is also a wife, mother and total powerhouse!   TOPICS COVERED -backstage behind the scenes -dream without limits -working towards a long-term goal -balancing your physique -trusting your coach -taking time to grow -involving your family in bodybuilding -unselfish bodybuilding  -competing in Masters   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 THERESA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theresacura_ifbbpro/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 4:10 backstage at a show 11:55 dream without limits 16:26 being humbled by the journey 20:34 working on feedback 29:01 trusting your coach, working with Michelle 33:30 changed to support muscles development 35:35 Theresa’s athletic background 39:30 finding bodybuilding 41:50 regrets from competing too much 43:04 family support 45:30 Is bodybuilding selfish? 53:45 sharing the accomplishment with your family 59:44 handling her reverse 64:23 plans for the future 66:28 competing as a masters athlete  68:58 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
