The constant bombarding of edited images of unattainable beauty standards has multiple effects. They set the expectations of what beautiful and desirable bodies look like, especially for women. They push millions of people into absurd and unhealthy diets, and, most importantly, they reinforce the idea that we don't know what's good for us. They mine our intuition, and we develop a limiting belief: we will only succeed with external guidance. 

In this episode, we go through a sensitive topic that has taken a big part in my life, proper nourishment. Today's discussion is about what we decide to put into our bodies and why. We delve into the pressure women are set under to look in a certain way and its devastating effects on their mental and physical health, confidence, and instincts. 

I share my experiences with the diets I've tried (literally all of them), and what made me realize that path was only taking me away from my intuition and disconnecting me from the needs of my higher self.
