HOPE CASTELLI; Emotional Posing, Self-Awareness, Personal Pro Standard

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Hope Castelli, a lifestyle, prep, and
posing coach. As an amateur, she competed in 3 regional and 4
national shows. She won Pro Card at NPC Nationals in 2020, and
then made her Pro debut a week later.  She has since
competed in 8 pro shows, placing top 10 multiple times, and even
placed 4th, earning Olympia points. 


 


Hope talks about what inspired her to become a coach and how she
supports her clients through all aspects of their fitness
journey. She also shares her struggles with an eating disorder
and how it informs her process as a competitor. Hope does not
hold back in this conversation!
