You don’t have to be a mom to kids to understand responsibility, balance, and the pull toward something more.

In this episode of Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All with Nikki, Nikki sits down with Elena Elzz, a functional pharmacist, integrative health coach, and proud dog mom, to talk about building a purpose-driven career alongside a demanding job without quitting everything or burning out.

Elena shares how her journey in functional and integrative health evolved while working in pharmacy, how being a dog mom shaped her routines and priorities, and why she chose to build something aligned with her values instead of following a one-size-fits-all career path.

This conversation is for women who:

Are balancing work, life, and responsibility

Feel called to build something more meaningful

Want flexibility and fulfillment without blowing up their life

Believe you don’t have to wait for kids to start designing a life you love

Whether you’re a mom, a future mom, or a woman building before kids, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.
