In this episode, I talk to Alessia Citro and explore the process of starting and stopping habits and simplifying the journey toward a more intentional life.

She shares her five-stage framework for habit formation: Awareness, Alignment, Audit, Activation, and Ascension. We delve into each stage and how they can lead to an upward personal evolution. Ultimately it’s the little things that truly do make the big difference. Small habits, consistently nurtured, can lead to immense personal growth and well-being. It's not about grand gestures; it's the tiny steps forward that count.

Alessia Citro is a corporate dropout who traded her lucrative career at tech giants Google and Salesforce for a life of meaningful entrepreneurship. A pivotal encounter on a flight from Maui ignited her transition from the corporate world to becoming a certified life coach and a passionate advocate for creating fulfillment through full expression and authenticity.

Kiki, a former educator and busy wife and mom in Alberta, CA decided to launch Smoothies Tank Tops spending years being frustrated with tanks that would constantly ride up, were see-through, and fell apart. As someone who has battled weight issues for over 40 years and who taught junior high for 15 years, she knew in her heart I could make a difference in how girls and women felt about their bodies. I wanted to change how they 'saw' themselves as women. I wanted them to know their worth and to recognize the strength and power their bodies held, regardless of shape or size. There is a huge correlation between confidence and how we perceive the world. Our experiences shape who we are, but what defines us is how we RESPOND to those experiences; it's why siblings from the same family often grow up to be very different people. Smoothies is so much more than just a tank top company; we have created an Empowerment/Mentorship Program for Girls aged 10-14. Her hope is to grow the company through awareness, their Confidence Connection movement, and their products.
