Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ali Kay. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is Ali Kay, I live in Central Florida and am a mom to three boys. Outside of owning and operating a home staging business, Lakeland Staging, I am an online health and fitness coach. A few years ago, my life, mentality and physical health looked a lot different than it does today. After the birth of my second son, I endured the impacts of an unhealthy pregnancy –post-partum weight gain. I have never felt more isolated and disconnected inside my own body.

The moment I stopped putting my happiness on hold and stepped into action toward change, my life began to shift. The changes, while I wanted the most on the outside, had to come from within. My self-talk was toxic.

I began my journey with a new mindset, “I can.” Once my mind was on board, I had to figure out how to achieve my goals, so I began small with walks around the neighborhood. I made a commitment to myself, small movements every day. These movements became my medicine. For 30 minutes a day I became more connected to myself and my sons.

These small, intentional movements resulted in me dropping 70 pounds along with transforming my life mentally and physically.

Like most women in today’s age, I turned to social media for accountability. I shared my transformation from my first day to today because the journey is never over. Especially now, since my new journey is losing the weight, again after giving birth to my third son in August 2022. The goal of my platform is to acknowledge and normalize beautiful bodies, no matter their shape or size.

Through sharing my journey, I was constantly asked, “How?” There was no magical cure, as my followers saw. It was a commitment to myself and my family to give them the best version of ME. I began my online coaching program, Invest Your Best with Ali Kay, as a platform to help others along their journey. My clients range from working moms to pregnant moms, to retired women and women who simply don’t know where to begin. I personally connect with each client and give them the tools they need to succeed on their journey including meal plans and workouts. I help each client uncover their WHY through simple questionaries that will help them set their goals for the future. Dropping the weight will come with the work, but if we can’t get the client in the right mindset, they aren’t going to succeed.

My six-week online coaching program correlates with my top-rated mental health and fitness podcast, Invest Your Best with Ali Kay. In every episode we casually explore being a mom, wife and business owner, de-bunk myths and interview professionals related to fitness and mental health.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

The old saying, “the proof is in the pudding,” resonates with me. My public journey showed working moms and women that it’s ok to put yourself first. The best way to start is with small, intentional movements. When align myself with a brand on any level, it’s typically a product that my clients or followers would use or try. I think the thing my clients appreciate, is that I am real. I don’t hide or lie or claim to be something I am not. I took a pregnancy test live on TikTok. I show the good, the bad and the ugly — every dimple, wrinkle and stretch mark is not hidden. We speak about the realness of women’s bodies and learn to embrace them at every stage.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Results. Proven results that allow me to hold them accountable. If she, as a working nurse of three kids, can stick to her meal plan and find the time to workout, you can too! My clients allow me to share their personal journey’s because they are proud of the work they put in. They want to show the world that it’s okay to not be perfect. To tackle a goal, they have set their sights on before, but this time, with a new mindset.
