I have battled a lot with being honest and transparent when it comes to this topic because I've felt like a fraud as a fitness and nutrition coach and struggling with this myself.

In my college days, I loved training and would get super motivated to go to the gym and chase PR's and lift heavy shit consistently. Now… it's the furthest thing from something I truly enjoy doing and hasn't excited me for awhile. Feeling like this makes me feel like a fraud because, as a coach, I know the benefits of strength training.

Today's episode is unpacking my thoughts around this topic in somewhat of a messy fashion because I'm still working it out and if you feel the same way, I want you to know that you're not alone.

What does it truly mean to live with purpose while navigating the complexities of identity, wellness, and healing? In today's episode, one of my good college friends who is now a registered dietitian and yoga instructor Ashley Tweddle and I explore the multifaceted roles she plays both inside and outside of her professional life. From understanding who Ashley is beyond her career to reflecting on the duality of living with intention, we uncover how she balances striving for control with the power of surrender.

Ashley opens up about her personal history with disordered eating, sharing the vulnerable moments that shaped her relationship with nourishment and her body. We discuss the importance of seeking help, especially during challenging times like grad school, where she faced both physical and emotional hurdles, including losing weight and experiencing "body hangovers."

Whether you're curious about overcoming struggles or seeking inspiration on how to live a more balanced and thriving life, Ashley's story is filled with insights and hope.

A recent family member passing brought a lot of emotions to the surface and, by the very nature of this show and its title, I wanted to speak on this topic of grief from its many perspectives and forms. See, we don't just grief for those who pass and move on to the next life, we also mourn past versions of ourselves.

We mourn what we thought our life was going to be whether it was the location that we absolutely loved or the relationship we thought was going to last forever. Life isn't fair and it's okay to take all the time you need to go through the grieving process no matter what it is.

I hope this episode inspires you to give the same level of support you would give a close friend through their grief, permission to feel all of the emotions that come along with grief, and that sometimes growth means the death of a previous identity.
