Do you struggle with dieting? Better yet, how many diets have you tried and have FAILED you? Do you catch yourself saying things like, "I'm off the wagon" or, "I'll start again Monday"? If so, you may be stuck in the vicious & never-ending diet cycle! Ali Sempek is a HotWorx instructor, and an internationally certified Body Confidence Coach who helps empower women that struggle with food guilt + body image to reclaim their confidence. I love Ali's approach because she bridges the gap between "fitness obsessed" and "body confidence, only".

Let's face it, we're all guilty at one point or another of saying things like, "Yah, I'm stressed and anxious, but I don't have it as bad as ___."  As moms, we have a tendency to try to 'do it all' and it can feel like a struggle. When you minimize your struggles, you unintentionally add more stress to your plate by carrying it around. If you never take the time to work though stressors, they can get REALLY heavy.  In this episode, you will learn some helpful tools as well as what it REALLY looks like to dig into stress, anxiety and depression.
