Balance Is Bullshit

Alicia McKenzie is a true Renaissance woman—a former USAW and CrossFit athlete, health and wellness coach, author, real estate investor, and the proud mother of five. After concluding her competitive athletic career, she turned to real estate investing and health and wellness coaching, with a focus on incorporating evidence-based holistic health practices into the lives of adults and children. Drawing from her real-life experiences as a biracial woman juggling parenting, marriage, and business, Alicia imparts insights on developing healthy habits through her blog, LiftLikeAMother, and her podcast, "Married to the Start-up." She explores ways to reinterpret commonly misunderstood defining words, aiming to reshape both your and your child’s mindset to embrace them positively. Alicia resides in McLean, Virginia, with her husband George, their children Ava, Makayla, Maddox, Maverick, and Maya, and their dogs Huck and Olive. Regina Shklovsky is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Sonoma County, California. She illustrated the 2018 picture book, Fun in the Mud, which was a 2019 Moonbeam award winner and a 2018 Nautilus award winner. She is passionate about bringing stories to life with pictures and thoughtful design. Her work is rooted in traditional drawing and painting, mixed with vector graphics. She collaborates with local entrepreneurs and authors, as well as independent publishers.
