Welcome to Episode 8 of Ladies First, a platform for candid conversation and shared introspection. 

The episode highlights the societal pressures of achieving a "summer body" and the toxic trends rooted in vanity. Instead of succumbing to these external pressures, the host encourages listeners to engage in a metaphorical process of pruning, inspired by both gardening and biblical teachings. Pruning involves cutting away toxic patterns and relationships to foster personal growth and spiritual fulfillment. The host shares personal experiences with pruning, including dietary changes and healthier habits, leading to a transformative lifestyle shift.
