When a supermodel who graced over 500 magazine covers tells you she initially wanted to be a pharmacist, you know you're in for a fascinating story of life's unexpected turns. Kim Alexis joins us to share her remarkable journey from competitive swimmer to international modeling sensation to wellness advocate, revealing how each chapter of her life seamlessly connected to create a purpose-driven career that continues to evolve.

Discovered at just 17 in her small hometown near Buffalo, Kim's meteoric rise in modeling happened almost overnight – landing her first magazine cover within four days and a national makeup contract within three months. But what makes her story truly compelling isn't the glamour, but her steadfast commitment to authenticity throughout her career. "I enjoyed being humble," she reflects, explaining how her Christian faith guided her to prioritize serving others above personal fame.

The conversation takes us through Kim's fascinating career transitions – from replacing Lauren Hutton at Revlon to becoming Good Morning America's fashion correspondent to her current role as National Wellness Ambassador for Trilogy by Shea Homes. Now crafting healthy menus, creating fitness content, and inspiring active adults across the country, Kim's work beautifully connects to her original passion for health and wellness. Her kitchen experiments with kombucha, sourdough starters, and homemade "shrubs" (fascinating vinegar infusions!) reveal someone who truly practices the holistic lifestyle she promotes.

What resonates most is Kim's refreshing approach to social media and influence. Refusing to "dilute her brand" with paid product promotions, she shares knowledge purely to help others, creating content herself that's authentic, informative, and genuinely useful. Her message for women designing their best lives, especially in second or third acts? Focus on prevention, maintain what you have, and approach wellness with encouragement rather than perfection.

Listen in for a master class in reinvention from someone who's continually redesigned her life with purpose, faith, and an unwavering commitment to helping others thrive. Follow Kim's wellness journey @the_kimalexis on Instagram and discover her practical approach to living well.
