ep 64. today’s episode is all about self trust, self confidence, self love, and all the things you may feel you lack as you navigate post-grad or your 20’s, but you are certainly not alone. i wanted to chat through some ways i’ve been working to build my own self trust and things i’ve learned along the way.

my tips for building self trust and confidence

1. acknowledge and give space to discomfort
2. take note of the wins
3. take note of strengths and what you feel confident in
4. allow yourself to show up imperfectly
5. ask yourself “what do I think?” and “how do I feel?”

ep 63. TW* meet my wonderful personal trainer, isis! she has been such an important part of my own fitness and health journey the last year and I’m so excited to have her on the podcast to part some of her knowledge and advice to you all. like myself and many others, isis has struggled with her relationship with food, fitness, and her body, but has now been able to slow down and heal, shift her mindsets, find balance, and help her clients do the same.

in this episode we talk through:

1. our journeys to finding balance with food, movement, and body image
2. tips to incorporate movement without it being obsessive
3. what the stigma is around strength training and the benefits of it for women’s health
4. ways to break the “all or nothing” cycle
5. healthy habits for maintaining balance
