56. Starr Hawkins is one of Miami's best fitness trainers (and one of my favorite trainers). She works with A-list clients, putting her name on the map for a sought-after fitness guru. Starr is an electric presence in her classes and on social media, with popular Instagram and Tik Tok channels. Not only is she successful in her career, but she is also a proud mother to her beautiful daughter.  Although this life and these achievements seem pretty perfect, everything is not always as great as it seems…In the fitness world, you often only see the end result of hard work. You never see the hard things we must go through to achieve that end result. In this episode, we are shedding light on the hard stuff and exploring Starr’s personal growth and success journey.  Tune in as Starr, and I dive into the topic of transparency in social media and the importance of creating human connections. Additionally, we discuss the difficulties of being a single mom and navigating the world of dating in that role. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal growth, resilience, and finding your purpose in life.
