From Stuck to Confident: A Busy Mom’s Wake-Up Call w/ Ali Picou & Katie Craig | Ep 245
Mon Jan 26 2026
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Assistant Coach Katie Craig and her client, Ali Picou, for a really real conversation about what change actually looks like when you’re a busy mom trying to juggle everything.
Ali opens up about feeling stuck for years — overwhelmed by diet advice, frustrated with her body, and just not feeling confident in her own skin. After six months of coaching, she shares the mindset shifts that mattered just as much as the physical changes, including losing close to 20 pounds and finally feeling in control around food and exercise again.
We talk a lot about accountability, support, and why having someone in your corner makes such a difference — especially when motivation is low and life is chaotic. Allie also shares how prioritizing her health has helped her feel more present, more confident, and more energized for her kids.
This episode isn’t about perfection or extremes — it’s about building habits that actually fit real life, tuning out the noise online, and realizing that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish… it’s necessary.
If you’re a mom who’s been putting yourself last or feeling stuck in the “I’ll start later” cycle, this one’s for you.
