“We start with not what we eat, but how we eat.” - Andrea Catherine

If you've been following along with Season One of this podcast, or even if you just saw the name "Fearless Self-Love Podcast," it's pretty clear that we focus on topics of self-love and self-care. But it's important to acknowledge that we're all at different points in our self-love journeys, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out where to start. I'm excited for you to join me in my conversation with Cate Stillman, Yoga Health Coach, as we wrap up Season One by discussing what comes first - the habits or the self-love - and how to move forward no matter where we are in our journey.

• What it means to invest in yourself
• How to get to know your self-worth
• How to learn to trust your body

How many of us, when times are tough, reach a point where we try to force ourselves into healing? If we can't fix a broken vase by hitting it with a baseball bat, why do we think we can heal by being hard on ourselves? We have to soften our approach in order to move forward. Join me as I talk with Tracey Duncan about the many facets of self-love, and how we can move into a space of unconditionally loving ourselves.

• What happens when we discover we only love ourselves conditionally
• Why you can't cultivate healing with force
• How to heal through softening

Meet Tracey

Tracey Duncan comes from what you might call poor white trash, unless you are poor white trash, in which case you probably just call her family. She dropped out of high school three times. Tracey misspent her youth in South Beach, where she worked for nightclubs and partied semi-professionally.

Sometime in her twenties, Tracey decided to get her $hit together. She sweet-talked her way into Columbia University, where she got a degree in Anthropology. She also has an MFA in Creative Writing. She has taught composition and literature at the university level, and is a retired Montessori Elementary teacher. Tracey is currently a writer, a yoga teacher, and a coach in New Orleans.

Tracey helps coaches, healers, and yoga teachers craft and share their personal stories to show others how to lead revolutionary lives. If you want to evolve into your superhero alter ego and show her to the world, Tracey wants to help. You can check out her teachings on The Hero Course. Read her work in Vice and on her website, More Yoga, Less Bull$hit. Follow her on Facebook and Instagram for the juiciest tidbits.
