On this episode, I interview Erika Hewitt, a health and fitness mentor. I actually found her while cruising on Instagram one day and was impressed with her use of social media in promoting her business and ability to storytell. We get into what got her into the health and fitness industry after working in the dental industry, what her routine is like, lifestyle changes, and a variety of other things such as being a mom, postpartum, staying motivated, and how nothing is ever a quick fix.
