"Get fit". I remembering setting this as my New Years resolution years ago, during a time when I felt like I had lost complete control over my life. Initially, I started exercising and cleaning up my diet to change my outward appearance, in hopes that by doing so I would reclaim power over my life. Yet after spending years battling eating disorders, exercise addictions, and body dysmorphia, I found myself on a deeper journey of self-discovery, beyond the physical aspects of fitness.
In this episode, I share my entire fitness journey , and how it ultimately led me down my spiritual path.
I chat about...
- The "life-shattering" event that broke my family apart and how it led me to fitness
- My experience with eating disorders, exercise addictions, and body dysmorphia
- Transitioning to "flexible dieting" / IIFYM
- Getting into bodybuilding and powerlifting
- My "out-of-body" experience while running, that changed my life
- How my entire perception of my internal reality and the external reality shifted
- Healing my perspective of exercise and nutrition (plus, going vegan!)
- Cultivating self-love for my body, mind, and soul
