Vita Sidorkina is a former model turned wellness entrepreneur who built her career walking for Victoria's Secret before stepping away to become a mother. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about growing up in Russia with ambitious, loving parents who taught her resilience, losing her identity when modeling ended and she became a wife and mom simultaneously, and navigating postpartum depression while rebuilding from scratch. They also discuss why discipline beats motivation every time, the problem with fitness trends (from vegan to protein obsession), and how she created The Core—a wellness app built on personal struggles, not textbook theories—that launches with workouts, nutrition, and mindset coaching all in one place.📌 Rivki's IG:@rivkirabinowitz | TikTok: @rivkirabinowitz📌 Vita's IG: @vitasidorkina | TikTok: @vitasidorkina00:00 Intro01:11 Growing Up in Russia04:29 Raising Kids Without Spoiling Them08:01 Modeling's Scars & Healing Journey11:51 Losing Identity as a New Mom13:17 High Achievement as Blessing & Curse15:50 Feeling Like an Outsider in Modeling18:11 Mom Guilt & Being Present23:09 Fitness Philosophy & The Core App27:09 Discipline Over Motivation28:43 Strong Not Skinny (But Let's Be Real)32:01 Simplified Strength Training34:33 Consistency Over Intensity39:17 Intuitive Eating Done Right43:15 Friendship Shifts After 3046:44 Miami Rapid Fire Guide
