Lucy Reeves: Numbers Don’t Define Happiness


Listen Later

Have numbers dictated your happiness?

Joining me on the podcast today is Hybrid athlete and influencer Lucy Reeves. Lucy is such a relatable person, so much of her life has been a battle with her mind, and accepting the body she has. Her journey of trial and error to find solutions to improve this has made her realize that happiness isn’t defined by numbers.

In this episode it was fascinating to hear the pros and cons that have come from her initial investment into the bodybuilding world. Training 6 days a week but unable to walk up a hill without being breathless. Her passion for the perfect physic is what led to the demise in her mental health. With a more versatile approach to fitness, less focused on her body, it has helped heal the relationship with her body. This is something most men and women will have struggled with at some point.

Lucy then began running. Running has been instrumental at reminding her what of she’s capable of, and helped to silence the voices in her head.

I believe this episode will help a lot of people going through their own personal journey into fitness, and give you reassurance that you’re not the only one feeling, or going through something like this.
