From Overweight to Overjoyed
Interview with Dawn Ali
Weight Loss Expert and Life Coach
RLRF: How did you become a weight loss expert and life coach? Where did that journey begin for you?
Dawn Ali: The journey began after moving back to California with my mom, from Florida. I was bankrupt, car repossessed, no job, no business, no credit cards, no bank account, obese, hair issues, skin issues. I literally had nothing left. I had hit rock bottom. I was 45 years old. At 46, I was well on my weight loss and hair regrowth journey way, and I had an itch inside of me to start a business around it. I started taking online classes, having meetup groups, inviting strangers into my mom’s home. I would prepare healthy meals for them, and people started paying me to cook for them. The next thing I knew, I had a cookbook, I was teaching classes in my mom’s home, and shortly thereafter, I had it all online, and it grew from there.
RLRF: Why did you not quit on life after everything that you endured? What caused you to make the shift?
Dawn Ali: I felt I was too young to die, and I could feel God-given greatness inside of me. I knew there was more for me to do in this life, although I did not know what it was. However, it was banging inside of me to come out. It was ready to be born.
