Finding Wellness

Today we're talking about the gym, summer shred programs, wanting to lose weight and get back to your old self. For me, I've come to a place where I do have weight loss goals BUT I'm not attached to an actual "goal weight". I have an idea in my head around the weight I was when I felt strong and fast. BUT I wouldn't trade who I am today for who I was then. That person was a hangry bitch. She was full of anxiety and her coping skills were limited to spending hours doing cardio and drinking too much. I don't want to be that person and it's OK if I never see that weight again.

I hope this episode resonates with you! If it does, hit me up on Instagram and let's chat!

I got so many questions from you all after my last episode about getting my hormones tested so I thought I'd answer in a podcast episode. We're talking about how to go about getting your hormones  tested as well as some resources and education to learn more about your hormone health regardless of  if you're able to work with a practitioner or not.

It feels so good to be back! This episode is a bit of a part two to some earlier episodes so I'll link them below!

Today we're diving into my dutch test results and my experience with gaining fat and losing muscle dispite my best efforts. I wanted to take care of my body but I didn't want to implement and abide by food rules because I was so into anti-diet culture. After working with a personal trainer for a few months I'm finally losing fat and gaining muscle again.

I don't know about you but I have been so wrapped up in anti-diet culture content that I thought if I was offered a plate of pasta I had to eat it. Otherwise, I was "giving in to diet culture".  I think I needed this particular season on my wellness journey but I am really excited to start tuning in to ME. What does MY body want? What makes ME feel good? I'm really excited to go on this journey and to share with you along the way.

Many of us are feeling stuck when it comes to our health and wellness goals. With summer right around the corner you might feel pressured to lose weight or "tone up". Today I argue that while it might be possible for you to do those things right now, maybe right now isn't the right time. Taking a look at your life more holistically may reveal other areas of your life that might need to be your main focus right now. 


Limited time offer!: I've opened up a few spots on my calendar for FREE 30 minute coaching sessions! If you're sick of being stuck and want help finding that ONE thing that you need to be focusing on right now, schedule a time that works for you HERE!

Today we're discussing two of the most toxic messages about mental health in the wellness and personal development spaces. These two messages in particular were a HUGE part of the reason it took me so long to get help for my mental health. Be careful who you follow, who you're getting advice from and the beliefs you choose to subscribe to. Make sure you're not getting in your own way when it comes to feeling better. Also understand that medicine is a piece to the puzzle, not the end all be all. So PLEASE take your meds unapologetically and also learn to build habits, routines, and rituals that serve you to.
