00:00Hey, how are you?

00:02Ali, great to meet you.

00:04Thank you, first day of spring.

00:06My mom was like, are you wearing color today?

00:09And I was like, I'm not, Mom, I'm sorry.

00:11I feel like I never did.

00:12I failed you, but I'll tell her that you did.

00:14Yeah, tell her I did.

00:15Be like, I met a friend and she did.

00:17Well, both of us.

00:18Yeah, I'll just...

00:19Exactly.

00:20So women who shape the future.

00:22I mean, you have actually been incredibly inspiring to me.

00:25I followed you on social media for a really long time

00:27and I just love what you do and what you put out there.

00:29And speak your truth.

00:31Who's inspired you?

00:33You know, this question I think is always a tricky one

00:36because I think there are a ton of incredible people

00:38doing amazing things, but I firmly believe

00:41that your biggest inspiration should come through yourself.

00:44And I think that it's important to spend a lot of time

00:47evaluating who you are, thinking about what you need

00:50and then using that to further grow yourself as a person.

00:54And so that's always been really important to me.

00:58Yeah.

00:59Well, and something also important to you is fitness.

01:01How does working out...

01:03I always go back and forth kind of if working out is something that you do

01:08to look good or to feel good.

01:10How have you kind of created the important kind of mental notes

01:17to make it just feel good and not just be about what's on the outside?

01:21Yeah.

01:22Well, you know, I think it's funny because I've been in fitness for over 10 years now

01:27and I always was doing it to look good, to look good, to look good.

01:31And I found that I was really unhappy when I was doing it that way.

01:35And fitness became this chore.

01:37And so then I was like, okay, what if I switch the perspective and make it into feeling good?

01:42And when that's the focus, the other benefits of working out, such as looking good, right,

01:48or just being healthy or whatever it may be, those happen as well.

01:52So instead it's like kind of creating a different end point and still benefiting and reaping all of the same results.

01:59I think at the end of the day when you feel good doing something, you want to keep doing it.

02:04And that's something that's really hard to achieve in fitness.

02:06You know, after a while you're like, oh, I don't want to go to the gym anymore.

02:09This sucks.

02:10But if it's a matter of I feel great, that changes it.

02:14And so within the... I could talk about this for a while.

02:16I love it.

02:17I'm going through like a rut right now.

02:19Yeah.

02:20So within the app, something that I did that was really important to me from day one

02:25is I gave a question before you start the workout and as soon as you finish the workout.

02:30And the question is, how do you feel?

02:32And there's like a list of answers or you can type in your own word.

02:35But it's like, I feel tired or I feel stiff or I feel amazing.

02:39I feel energized.

02:40And this idea of simply checking in with yourself with this one question before and after is so powerful

02:46because nine and a half times out of 10, you end up feeling better when you're done with the workout itself.

02:52Yeah.

02:53I love it so much because it's kind of resets your mind about what you should be focused on.

02:58I love that.

02:59Now, obviously, you and Nico have such a beautiful relationship that's just incredibly inspiring.

03:04Could we see you guest starring at all on Younger coming up?

03:08Oh, my God.

03:09No.

03:11No way.

03:12No, I don't really have a desire to do any type of scripted television.

03:18I know what that life is and it's not glamorous behind the scenes, but I do love the show.

03:23I think Nico is amazing on it.

03:25And there is like a baby around this season coming up.

03:31There's like a baby on set.

03:32So I'll be going to set much more often just to play with the baby.

03:35Just to play with the baby.

03:36I love it.

03:37Amazing.

03:38Thank you so much.

03:40It was so great to meet you.

03:41I would love to do more.

03:42We'll get in contact and we'll do something.

03:43Yes, definitely.

03:44Sounds amazing.

03:45Bye.
