IN THIS SOLO EPISODE I’M SHARING: How exercise was modeled to me growing up How this formulated my relationship with fitness How being an athlete became a large part of my identity The stereotypes we have of personal trainers & fitness industry professionals, imprinted from diet culture The positive + negative effects of being an athlete The experiences I had, that showed me how I had value  I didn’t know that my values was independent of my performance & appearance Where I learned “smaller is better” Adopting exercise as a coping strategy that evolved into a compulsion How my relationship with exercise has evolved from control/keeping myself small → to feeling empowered Believing I needed to suffer in order to earn approval, acceptance, love, belonging Questions I am asking myself: Why am I exercising right now? Am I doing it to feel empowered and connected to myself? Or am I doing it to control/manipulate my body? Because I feel obligated to? How will this exercise make me feel after? Empowered? Disempowered? Finding the True Self  Enter to win these SIX lightroom mobile presets TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY:+ Leave an itunes review+ Take a screenshot & email it to [email protected]+ That’s […]

In this episode I’m sharing about my experience of feeling like I didn’t get the memo on how to fit in and belong. I’m diving into: My experiences growing up that contributed to feeling like an outsider How this experience effects the lens through which I see today How it’s easier to focus on fixing an external thing and how this grants us the illusion of control The keystones of the human experience: security, connection, belonging, acceptance, love, feeling seen — are not achieved through losing weight, buying a house, or earning more money The trap our brains fall into The underlying messages that we’ve been conditioned to believe: “this is what you should want”, “it should come naturally to everyone”
