In this episode of The Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I sit down with Lexi Barrett - Pilates instructor, nutrition coach, and co-founder of Empower Her Retreats - for a powerful conversation on healing, self-worth, and reclaiming health from the inside out. Lexi opens up about her personal battles with mental health, substance abuse, and self-sabotage, and how discovering Pilates and holistic wellness helped her transform her life.

We dive into her journey from life as a high-stress chef in London to launching her new Self-love Club app, which blends Pilates, mindset work, meditation, and nutrition to help women create lasting change. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, burnout, or finding balance, this episode is full of insight and real-life tools to support your mental and emotional wellbeing.
