135. The Power of Inner Work: How Therapy Transforms Your Body Image, Fitness Journey, and More with Erin Burns (Part 1)


Listen Later

I’m beyond excited to welcome my very first GUEST, Erin Burns, onto the podcast today!


I’ve contemplated whether or not to have guests on my podcast, because I always want to make sure you’re getting the best information and value possible. However..I have no doubt that Erin is going to provide all of that, and I’m so pumped that she is here!


Erin Burns is an Illinois-based licensed clinical professional counselor; we connected on Instagram awhile ago, and she’s also a regular listener of my podcast. Erin specializes in treating patients with a variety of mental issues. Her passion is founded in working with those who are hoping to reach a deeper sense of fulfillment in life, whether that be through processing previous traumas, finding joy in life again, or rediscovering who they are as individuals.


She opened her practice, Sol Healing PLLC, in July 2024, and is currently accepting new clients in-person and virtually. 


In today’s conversation, Erin and I dig deep into the interconnectedness of mental & physical health. We chat about why we let the number on the scale and clothing size dictate our worth, the role diet culture + society has played in our body image and confidence, how to discover what true ‘health’ means for you, natural versus ‘manufactured’ emotions, and more.


Choosing to heal and do the ‘inner work’ with therapy is truly invaluable (I’ve experienced this first hand in my own life). I know our conversation is going to empower you to prioritize your healing, and transform your life from the inside out. Make sure to come back for part 2 with Erin next week!!

In today’s episode about the power of inner work, we cover:

  • The all-too important meaning we give to the number on the scale and/or our clothing size + how this dictates our self-worth
  • Getting to the source of why you feel & think the way you do + discovering what true ‘health’ means for you 
  • The ABC exercise + how this helps you slow down and really focus on your thought process
  • Why doing the inner healing work on your journey is SO important + will carry over to the physical aspect too

  • How therapy provides a truly unbiased opinion + consistency and accountability
