Today on Far From Perfect I'm chatting with Alejandra, a friend and she is the director of programming for Elemental Coaching. We are talking about Body Dysmorphia and prioritizing yourself as a mother. First off you guys, this is just a conversation between two friends. Alejandra tells us about her background and how she got to where she is today in her life and work, which also happens to be fitness and nutrition coaching. She is mother to two young girls and she talks about navigating life with them and also finding the time to take care of herself and do the things that she needs to be and feel good. We chat a little bit about the book 'Conversations with God' which isn't a religious book per say and something I'm reading right now. Alejandra and her husband James used it in writing their vows and she says that the book presented in a way that allowed her to be more spiritual. We talk about a fear based approach as it relates to working out, eating, and how you may see yourself and rather then using that...pick an approach from a place of LOVE! We discuss how important it is to rest and what that means and how we understand how difficult it can be, but we also know how important it truly is! We get into ways to debunk body dysmorphia, such as removing exposure to things that might 'trigger' you, such as social media and giving yourself some self-care which can look different for everyone. Please join us in this conversation and give it a listen.
