Vita Sidorkina: Overcoming Obstacles and Wellness for Everyday Life

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.
