Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Janine Herrera, a single mother to 3 amazing girls aged 10, 8, and 4. She is also an AGACNP-BC with a focus and passion for functional medicine. She has spent the better part of her life serving others, but was in need of purpose unique and personal to her, and she has found that in bodybuilding.  In addition to being a high school sprinter and cross-country athlete, Janine also danced ballet for 21 years.   She started  bodybuilding in March 2021, and competed in 2 shows before earning 2 IFBB pro cards at the 2021 North Americans. She most recently earned second place at the 2023 Masters Olympia Bikini! Along with Jodie Unger and Ashlyn Little, she is a co-founder of Team Alpha Aesthetics.   TOPICS COVERED -being a Masters athlete -staying healthy and balanced -empowering mothers -competing at Masters Olympia -serving others -focusing on the future -leaning on her faith -coaching relationships -in it to win it   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 JANINE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ja9fit/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teamalphaaesthetics/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 8:53 Masters success & Masters Olympia 13:15 having a passion to pursue 17:15 managing her time as a single mom 22:20 staying focused and not stressing 28:30 asking for help 33:17 overcoming obstacles 37:22 focusing on being present 43:50 working with clients with ICU nurse experience 49:18 coaching philosophies 55:48 habits for success 60:00 building community with women 65:33 you’re never too old 70:14 should you hide your age? 76:55 being fuller and tighter 79:10 bikini competitors are athletes 84:30 future masters Olympia 91:20 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
