DAKINI SELLAMUTHU

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Dakini Sellamuthu, a 23 years old
psychology major currently living in India. She has been
bodybuilding for 3 years and I just won her pro card in December
2021 at  the Arnold Amateur. She talks about how
bodybuilding has helped her build self-confidence and why
struggling with post show blues taught her so much about her
body. Dakini tells us about her struggles in her improvement
season and what she did to overcome her bingeing
tendencies. 


 


We hear how Dakini has worked to have open communication with her
coach and how she has taken the shame out of her actions. She
tells how she lives for herself and meets her own expectations.
She also says that turning Pro didn’t change her as a
person. 


 


Dakini has such a relatable story and shares valuable
information. You don’t want to miss this interview!

-dealing with stress and low confidence


-living in prep versus improvement season
