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. 📌 Rivki's IG:@rivkirabinowitz | TikTok: @rivkirabinowitz📌 Vita's IG: @vitasidorkina | TikTok: @vitasidorkina 00:00 Intro 01:11 Growing Up in Russia 04:29 Raising Kids Without Spoiling Them 08:01 Modeling's Scars & Healing Journey 11:51 Losing Identity as a New Mom 13:17 High Achievement as Blessing & Curse 15:50 Feeling Like an Outsider in Modeling 18:11 Mom Guilt & Being Present 23:09 Fitness Philosophy & The Core App 27:09 Discipline Over Motivation 28:43 Strong Not Skinny (But Let's Be Real) 32:01 Simplified Strength Training 34:33 Consistency Over Intensity 39:17 Intuitive Eating Done Right 43:15 Friendship Shifts After 30 46:44 Miami Rapid Fire Guide
