“No matter where you are and no matter what you are doing, you are completely worthy right now. There is nothing that you could do or not do that would make you any less or more worthy.” — Portia Preston

Public health professor Dr. Portia Preston joins us on the podcast to discuss sustainable habits in the midst of busy lives.

What steps can we take to invest seriously in our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness? Author and public health expert Dr. Portia Preston joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go? A Guide to Shame-Free Wellness That Honors Your Reality and Gives You Life. In our conversation, Portia walks us through her journey of embracing the limitations that she had ignored for years and the process of establishing habits to support her wellbeing. Portia empathizes with those who experience the unrelenting pace of life while inviting us to consider moving into the slow lane. Her expertise in public health influences her fresh insights into the roles of community and culture, offering helpful advice for busy women who wish to be connected. And if you listen to the end of the credits, you’ll hear an excerpt from our interview where Portia talks about the way she cultivated a diverse network to support her as she wrote her book.

So jump right in! We're so glad you're here.
