Emotional eating, emotional drinking.  Do you have a tendency to turn to food or alcohol when you are stressed out, anxious, overwhelmed, upset, worried, fearful or feeling like your world is spinning out of control??  Today’s guest, former TV news anchor Virginia Kerr,  will both shock and then inspire you with her journey. From an early age, of struggling with binge eating and drinking as a way of coping with her family trauma, her personal insecurities and her emotions to finally facing her harsh reality and overcoming her addictions. Her experience encourages us all to take a closer look and evaluate how we cope with pain and deal with stress in our lives.  Insecurity, fear, pain, emotional eating and drinking.  This conversation is as real and raw as it gets today on Healthy Harmony.

If this episode hits a little too close to home, I want to encourage you to seek support and help!  So many struggle with emotional eating and drinking as a way of coping with stress.  Binge drinking and binge eating becomes a way to numb the pain.  Get the help you need.  Talk to a trusted friend.  Check out the resources available on the aa.org (Alcoholics Anonymous).  And if you are looking for a Health Coach that is more like a friend who has got your back and will help you address emotional eating, please consider the coaching options at https://www.inspirehealthyharmony.com/coaching.html#/

Host: Jennifer Pickett   

One of the country’s leading dietitians, Jennifer Pickett has just announced that she will be launching a brand new podcast focusing on healthy living, holistic self-care, and encouragement. Jennifer has a Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Southern Mississippi and will be giving away free tips to her listeners that she has given to countless clients as a health and wellness expert for the past twenty-three years. Jennifer’s journey began after getting frustrated with her own health journey so she decided to dig deep and see what she was missing. What she discovered was a very lopsided approach to healthy living. It’s very common for people to simply rely on a diet, an exercise routine, or a supplement. This one-sided approach simply leads to frustration and doesn’t fully address the whole body and holistic health. Jennifer quickly identified barriers that were holding her back from living life to the fullest. By addressing those obstacles, she started to see the beauty of harmony between body, mind, and soul.  

During her personal health journey, Jennifer became increasingly frustrated with the lack of simple, realistic, and holistic wellness information. After identifying this gap and huge need, Jennifer decided to launch her own company so she could coach and encourage others. That company is called Healthy Harmony. By using encouraging words with simple and realistic education, Jennifer empowers others to conquer obstacles and move forward on their health journey to live life to the fullest and that is exactly what she will be doing in her new podcast, Healthy Harmony. 

The podcast will be weekly and will feature several different segments with Jennifer giving healthy lifestyle tips, cooking recipes, and exclusive interviews with other leading health and lifestyle influencers. Jennifer will simultaneously be releasing interactive cooking videos on her personal YouTube channel starting mid-January. She will be teaching viewers how to make simple, healthy meals that anyone can cook at home.

A pandemic unlike anything we have ever seen. Our world is suddenly dominated by the Coronavirus. Is it possible to overcome the fear of the unknown and even possibly grow during this difficult season? This is our discussion today on Healthy Harmony!

Hey Mama! Are you absolutely worn out? Tired? Sleepy?  Sick of dealing  with insomnia every night?  Exhausted beyond belief?  Only 35% of all adults get the daily recommended amount of sleep. Most of us are walking around drained because we aren't getting good sleep.  Did you know that it's close to impossible to lose weight when you are not sleeping? Or that your poor sleep could be responsible for the bad food decisions that you are making? In honor of National Sleep Awareness Week, we discuss the value of good sleep to best achieve your health and life goals. Doesn't matter if that goal is managing your busy family schedule, having mental clarity for work, energy to keep up with your kids,  losing weight, slowing down aging or disease prevention...good sleep will help you meet those goals.   Today's podcast looks at the role that sleep plays, what happens when we don't get enough sleep, and three ways to beat exhaustion and get the sleep that you desperately need. Sleep is our body's primary chance to rest, reset and restore.  Aren't you ready to sleep well and wake up feeling energized and refreshed?  Keep listening so you can learn to get the sleep of your dreams!

So often the changes that we need to make for our health seem overwhelming.  Do you find yourself knowing you need to do something but honestly not knowing where to start?  Friend, that is what a Health Coach is for!  With my clients, I take a holistic, whole body, whole life approach.  I'm finding that when clients incorporate better sleep strategies and improved stress management is when their health truly transforms!!  Consider booking a virtual, one hour, coaching session for a personalized plan that fits your life.  https://www.inspirehealthyharmony.com/coaching.html#/
