Balance is Bullsh*t with Alicia McKenzie of Lift Like A Mother

Any mother knows that having a child completely transforms your body. You may (and honestly probably will) lose muscle mass and your body composition may shift. When Alicia McKenzie found herself in that position ten years ago, she knew she had to do something to help other women going through the same thing. 

In today’s episode, we sit down with Alicia McKenzie, coach, author, speaker, and founder of Lift Like A Mother, a platform that provides people with information regarding all things wellness. Alicia shares how she became an Entreprenista, her new book, how to take care of yourself, and so much more. 

“​​I’ve always loved coaching people, I’ve always loved helping people thrive and optimize their life and be the best version of themselves. So it really just naturally evolved into a coaching business that provides people with realistic tools, tips, and makes things accessible and actually doable.” – Alicia McKenzie
