In our very first episode, our guest is Alex Hipwell. She is a Dancer, Choreographer, Body Builder, Nike Master Trainer and Mother, with over 20 years experience in the fitness and entertainment industry. She is also host Gerjet Efken’s Olympic Weightlifting Coach. After a very successful career as an athlete herself, Alex has specialized on mindset coaching for top athletes and managers. She shares some of her personal tools that have helped her get her ass out of bed in the morning and to the gym, every single day for consistent years. She also shares her approach of creating and developing herself, how the perception and role of women in sports has changed, how we can empower one another in difficult times, and how to find the right balance between a professional career, and personal life- including her journey through postnatal depression and how she has used that experience to help people better manage their mental wellness.
