info_outline(Apologies for the a little dodgy quality in this one as I made few mistakes on recording settings this being the first done with my own equipment. There was a lot of laughter but most of that had to unfortunately be cut of, because neither of us do it quietly ;-) The most important parts are there and the message is the most important things on this one, not the "perfect" quality, so thats why I decided to release it anyway!)
On this episode we are continuing to dive deep into Alicia “Leash” Portelli, 37 and her life story. She is a Sydney born and raised wild child rockstar and a mummy of 2. A personal trainer and group fitness instructor, known for spin but also boxing and functional fitness. She led a successful retail career across many active wear brands, today being an ambassador for Lululemon. She currently teaches at Vicious Cycle as a Rhythm instructor, at Beat body for boxing and HIIT training, Urban Flow for corporate Bootcamps and also guest teaches in Brisbane at InspireCycle.
Her goal as a trainer is to touch, move and inspire people into believing they can always do more than they think they can. She wanted people to fall in love with the process, to elevate those around her by not only leading by example but encouraging others.
On this part 2 we chatted about her journey and battles through substance abuse and perfectionism. As well as sexual abuse she endured as a fragile, young girl. Sharing that was especially vulnerable for her and despite of having a raw, tearful moment during recording, she wanted you to hear her story, tears and all. Such a strong and beautiful woman!
In addition to going through those hard moments in her life, we talked about being a single mummy and overcoming divorce. Coping and healing from addictions and making something so beautiful and empowering out of it all. How she became the rockstar of a trainer and human she is today!!
