What happens when we have a negative body image? It affects our self-esteem, we tend to disconnect from our relationship with our innate worth, we eat based on rules instead of body trust, and it's near impossible to live empowered lives.

When we are in the trap of a negative self image, we tend to board the train of perfectionism in ways not only in how we eat or exercise, but we try to excel in other ways to gain approval and ...

If you have struggled with finding exercise you enjoy, todays episode is for you.
For many people, the word 'exercise' feels like a heavy word loaded with expectations, pressure, to-do lists and punishment.

Life is too short to count calories and to try and squeeze into your skinny jeans two sizes too small for comfort. But it's not your fault if you are

In today's episode, I share 5 desires behind weights loss goals and how they might not actually be contributing to health at all.

What you'll learn in this episode:
