Every month we feature our awesome members. They are inspirational, they rock and we wouldn’t be where we are without their continued support of our wellness movement. Our September Member Profile is Alicia!
What’s your favorite wellness quote?
“If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive.” The other quote I love that is more motivational is: “The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. The second best time is today.”
What are some of your favorite exercises?
I love RDL’s! Also, anything core and banded exercises. (Least favorite… running. ?)
What motivates you to stay healthy?
My main motivation is to enjoy a more active outdoor lifestyle with my husband and friends. I love being out in nature!
What do you do to stay balanced in your daily life (hobbies)?
Getting creative in the kitchen is my favorite way to relax. I love to cook something I’ve never made before. I also make fully decorated cakes for events for my friends and family.
If this food/meal were the last available on Earth and you were the lucky recipient, what would it be?
If I could only have one more meal, it would absolutely be spicy ramen… or a burrito… maybe a ramen burrito? ?
What are three of your upcoming goals NOW, in one year and in five years?
Current goal-start to learn to draw, One year goal-feel ready for a real backpacking trip, 5 years goal-hopefully to have started a family with my amazing husband Joe.
What are some songs currently on your playlist?
I love all kinds of music and my preference changes drastically based on my mood but I’m getting more into Podcasts. I am accepting recommendations from the Inspired wellness community for some great podcasts to listen to!
What do you do for fun locally?
As hiking is a new obsession of mine, I like to explore new trails. I also LOVE wine tasting.
Describe yourself in 3 words:
Exuberant, intuitive, sincere.
How has Inspired Wellness impacted your life?
For a long time, my goal of a healthy lifestyle was present mostly in intention, not action. Inspired Wellness was the missing piece and has had a domino effect in my life. I now make better choices when it comes to anything affecting my physical or mental health.
