How well do you listen to the needs & wants of your body?  Do you follow your gut instincts, or strict rules from some external source?  Michelle Stevens from My Body My Queen joins us today to share about body compassion, energy management and living with chronic health issues and ditching diet culture.

Listen in to hear about:

• the near death experience that caused her to ditch strict diet regimes
• how to create  a schedule based on energy, not time  (it will change your life)
• "spoon theory" and how to use it for better self-care
• switching from listening to outside pressures to listening to our own intuition
• our own relationships with our bodies & body shame as women

Michelle Stevens runs a fabulous business called My Body My Queen where she is helping online business owners create healthy-ish habits and self-care rituals for sustained energy and productivity. With her clients and students she supports them in creating a lifestyle that prevents burnout and autoimmune flare-ups by adding movement, nourishment, and recovery to their weeks. She is an ACSM - Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Certified Personal Trainer, and Barre Instructor. Being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 5 years old has fueled her lifelong interest in body compassion, fitness, and nutrition - without diet culture. Living with Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, asthma, and other conditions has proven that taking care of ourselves has to be enjoyable and sustainable for the long term, with bonus points for being pleasurable and fabulous.

I've just recently ended a chapter in my life and I can feel my system processing A LOT.    One of the things I've been thinking of is how living abroad has changed me. I've been thinking about the most useful stuff I've learned from living life literally outside my comfort zone.  So I wanted to share with you 3 things that I'm taking with me with from that experience that I think would benefit you too.

Listen in to hear about:

• how energy is our biggest communicator & how to use it as your guide
• getting out of anxiousness & control-seeking
• why if you're falling into self-doubt and self-criticism, the problem might not be you

"Clean enough to be healthy, messy enough to be happy."   What comes up for you when you read this?  What if instead of feeling like we should be keeping our home picture perfect "just in case someone comes by," we started letting our homes be what they were meant to be- a place to feel safe, sheltered and happy. 

Listen in to hear about:

• chasing peace over perfection
• scrappy hospitality 
• getting off the hamster wheel of "never enough" and "never done"
• how to stop living out of the fear of unannounced visitors
