45.) Ali Bonar: Finding balance, prioritizing self-care & staying motivated as a female CEO.

In this episode, Kylie & Sophie are joined by the founder & CEO of Kween, Ali Bonar. Born in Japan and raised in San Diego, Ali has been passionate about food for as long as she can remember. Her deep-rooted passion for nutrition inspired her to study Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley and eventually launch @avokween, where she dove crown-first into the Kween lifestyle. Ali wholeheartedly believes that overall wellbeing is often achieved off-the-plate: nutrition is important, but human connection (and pizza with friends at 2am) are essential. Avocado is her drug of choice and people who "forget to eat" are the reason she has trust issues. Some topics that will be covered in this extremely motivating & inspiring episode with Ali include: How Ali founded Kween & Co. Granola Butter, a glimpse into the life of a female founder & CEO, breaking down what it’s like to start a business, challenges of having your own business, advice for productive morning & night routines, tips for a better night of sleep, the importance of having rest days, recovering from unhealthy eating patterns & binge eating, tips for escaping the binge-restrict cycle, outward vs inward eating, seeking therapy for eating disorders, being real on social media, why it's important to surround yourself with people who build you up, advice for getting out of an unfulfilling job, Ali’s favorite Kween & Co granola butter flavors & so much more!
