Host Susie Tapley chats with Kiki Hurwitt around a topic that is at the heart of every offering at MAST - transformation. Kiki is a living example of possibility in all areas of life. She is a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified mindset coach, a beauty consultant, she represents incredible lines such as Seint and Riman. She is a mother, a wife, a friend, a mentor, she has a full, vibrant life and at the center of it lies her personal well being. She has learned to prioritize her mental and physical health while also remaining fully engaged in all aspects of her life. Her story is inspirational and heartfelt. Kiki, thank you for joining me today.

 We discussed physical, emotional, mental transformation. We talk about what Kiki calls "the waiting room" - the space between where we have been and where we are going. We shared vulnerably about our own experiences in mid-life and what it takes to create real change. It was a layered and wonderful conversation that I hope you enjoy!
