Do you love going against the rules?

If so, you might have a strong "inner rebel" – an archetype that lives inside us, and can unwittingly make us go against our own best interests, especially when it comes to our health.

As Marc David explores in this episode, our inner rebel is often behind the scenes unconsciously making choices for us about things like diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, and so much more.

Thirty eight-year old Daniela from Mexico wants to improve her health but frequently gets tempted by frappuccinos, sodas, and junk food. Daniela, a psychologist, knows that making changes to diet and exercise are important to her weight and health goals, but she just can't seem to stick with it.

As the session unfolds, it becomes clear that Daniela has two competing voices inside her duking it out for control: the part of her who wants to make healthier choices, and the part of her that doesn't want to feel restricted and controlled. This latter voice is her inner rebel, causing quite a lot of difficulty, confusion and frustration.

So how can Daniela - and the rest of us - work with the inner rebel?

Is the inner rebel here to vex us, or is there a hidden wisdom and message this archetype has for us?

You'll hear the answers to this, and more – and hear some life-changing takeaways, including:

• How childhood food restriction, food scarcity, and other limitations with food at a young age can lead to a strong inner rebel as an adult
• The origins of the inner rebel shown in the Biblical "Adam & Eve" story
• How we can use our inner rebel for constructive and positive purposes when it comes to our health
• Why positive reinforcement from our loved ones can go a long way in creating healthy habits
• And more…
