On a recent episode of her podcast Between Us with her 16-year-old daughter Weslie, the So You Think You Can Dance professional dancer, 37, admitted that when her teenage daughter was growing up, she was a bit of an "almond mom."

"She was like, 'You have to eat greens, it's chicken every night."

Holker, who is also mom to younger kids Maddox, 9, and Zaia, 5, whom she shares with late husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, admitted that the allegations were true. "I definitely was one with Weslie," she said. "I was very strict. I was cooking all the time, and her lunches for school were all the organic versions of everything. There were no processed snacks. Everything was different types of nuts. I had a lot of dried fruit options." Although Holker admits she was "strict" with Weslie, the teenager is noticing that her mom is not the same way with her younger siblings. "I love a good chip, she would not let me eat it," Weslie said on the podcast. "Now, she doesn't care!" However, the mom of three shared that she learned from her experience with Weslie and wanted to create more balance in her kids' diet, rather than restricting what they eat. "With Weslie, I was like, 'Ok, we're going to do this. I'm going to be a good mom,' " Holker remembered. "At that moment, I thought that being a good mom meant that everything was healthy. I was researching everything that was in our kitchen, and I was really diligent about it. I think in a lot of ways it helped me, though I was a little extreme in it." "I don't know if it was for the right reasons, but I did want us to have a healthy lifestyle," she explained. "I was like, 'I'm gonna be the best mom if I do this.' It was a really good choice for me because it educated me more, but then I feel everything comes with balance." "There are a lot of healthy options in our home, but I also allow them to be children," said Holker. "I found a little more joy in it, too. I'm just teaching now what I'm trying to do. With Weslie, I was a little strict and now with Maddox and Zaia, I want to be a little more well-balanced." Read the original article on People

Allison Holker feels 'happy' with her boob job
Allison Holker recently got a boob job after wanting one for years. The 37-year-old star has revealed that she feels "so happy" with the results of her boob job. Speaking on an episode of the 'Between Us' podcast, Allison shared: "I recently had a boob job and I'm so happy with it. "I've wanted a boob job since I was in high school but, because of my career and dancing, I never really made time for it." Allison was actually surprised by how straightforward the procedure proved to be, having felt anxious about it beforehand. She said: "I was like, 'OK, I'll have to take a couple months off.' I also thought it was going to be a lot more of a big deal than it really was after getting it done." Allison previously feared going under the knife - but she eventually found the courage to go through with the procedure. The 'So You Think You Can Dance' star explained: "I pushed it off, pushed it off, pushed it off. Three kids later and I'm not dancing like I used to, so I was like, 'OK, maybe this is the right time for me.'" Allison developed a new approach to life after her husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss died in December 2022, aged 40. The TV star's confidence was hit by her husband's death, but she's now looking to the future with optimism. Allison - who had Weslie, 16, Maddox, nine, and Zaia, five, with her late husband - said: "I think I needed a little bit of encouragement, like, I've gone through a lot the last couple years, and I was really down on myself and my confidence level was all over the place. I was like, 'I think I'm going to do something for me.' It was really nice." Allison actually spoke to Weslie about going under the knife before she committed to the procedure. The dancer - who married Stephen back in 2013 - said: "I think it really helped me, having conversations with Weslie. Her seeing me go through the process of, like, 'No, I'm going to choose me for a second,' and now I'm so happy with that."
