The Embodied Baddie Podcast

Do you feel pressure to exercise even when you’re on vacation? Do you punish yourself for simply needing a fitness break?

On today's Girlfriend Chat, Deb returns to discuss letting go of gym guilt. Feeling ashamed for not working out on a trip or during your typical week is easy. However, Chrystal and Deb are not afraid to point out that that’s disordered behavior. Exercise should be for helping yourself feel better and is not a reflection of your value. Ultimately, no matter what the scale says, you’re still a person who deserves self-love.

Working out may be fantastic, but our self-worth is not tied to our waistline. Learn more about Deb and Chrystal’s relationship to exercise, dealing with burnout, and accepting your body at every weight.

Quotes

• “It's hard not to tie your looks, weight, measurements, and all of that to your self-worth. Because it's not just an internal thing, it's a societal thing. That's what we've been taught. (12:26-12:39 | Chrystal)

• “Even though we've done so much work on ourselves, we constantly have to talk to ourselves and tell ourselves, “It's okay to feel this way.” (13:31-13:42 | Deb)

• “You're working out because it makes you feel better. You're not working out because you're trying to be like the tiniest, prettiest, coolest, or whatever.” (18:03-18:12 | Deb) 

• “We can't change until we accept what's here.”  (21:11-21:15 | Chrystal)

• “Why are you beating yourself up after a week of not working out? You’re beautiful. It's fine.” (23:38-23:44 | Deb)

Do you feel like your value comes from your job? Have you ever wondered what drives your work ethic?

Chrystal has been employed since adolescence, sometimes having multiple jobs at once. After doing extensive self-work, she began to evaluate why she worked. After realizing her workaholic tendencies derived more from insecurity than passion, she recalibrated into a career more aligned with who she is. Although work is a part of our identities, we must recognize that it’s just a piece, not our whole selves.

Whatever you choose to do, no one should hustle for their worth. Learn more about Chrystal’s entrepreneurial journey, prioritizing self-alignment, and why we don’t need to feel guilty for enjoying our lives. 

Quotes

• “We don't need to do 24/7 work. We don't need to feel guilty that we're not working and enjoying our lives, families, loved ones, or whatever instead.” (25:20-25:30 | Chrystal) 

• “It's not about how much or how hard you work. It's the intentionality behind what you do. It's the energy you put behind what you do.” (27:53-28:02 | Chrystal)

• “The whole reason why you start a business is to have freedom. Freedom from not working for someone else, financial freedom, all of that. And when you're a slave to your job or to your business, what is the point?” (30:02-30:18 | Chrystal)

• “Do what you feel called to do. Because when you return back to your work, you're going to feel so much better, and your actions will be more potent.” (30:50-31:01 | Chrystal)

Do you feel like you’re never on the right track? Do you struggle to identify your life’s purpose?

Although your profession can be a part of your life, it’s essential to recognize that we are so much more than what we do. We often believe that our purpose lies only in our accomplishments and fail to live in alignment with who we are. Today, Chrystal gives the listeners a much-needed pep talk and a reminder that the best thing we can do for the world is to be ourselves.

Tune into this week’s episode of Self-Love for Breakfast for a revitalizing conversation on purpose. Learn more about finding meaning outside of work, discovering your core self, and how focusing on healing helps others.

• “What makes you a good person is being willing to look at the parts of you that could possibly make you a bad person.” (7:55-8:02| Chrystal)

Your purpose can be felt in every room that you walk in with every human you come in contact with, with just your energy, with just your presence, with just you being content, being happy with the human that you are and the human that you are becoming and where you're going. It doesn't have to do with goals and achievements and accomplishments. (9:20-09:45| Chrystal) 

• “Your purpose is not in what you do. Your purpose is who you are, and who you are dedicated to becoming.” (11:38-11:48| Chrystal)

Do you often let people into your life that you know you shouldn’t? Do you struggle with trusting your gut?

Chrystal understands that sometimes it’s difficult to listen to our institution about a person.

By going through her own experiences of letting the wrong people into her world, Chrystal helps the listeners prioritize themselves. Ultimately, we are precious and it’s vital that we are selective with who we let into our busy lives.

Tune into this week’s episode of Self-Love for Breakfast for an honest conversation about listening to your gut. Learn more about times Chrystal ignored her instincts, why coaches shouldn’t “convince” people, and how to decide if certain people should enter your world.

• “Sometimes our gut just gives us a “yes” or “no” about another person. And we can choose to listen to that.” (29:33-29:42 | Chrystal)

• “Listen to your gut, and be very particular about who you let in your world. Your world is precious and you are an amazing human. And we are not meant for everyone. And not everyone is meant for us.” (30:22-30:38 | Chrystal)
