In this episode, I open up about why I moved my family from Utah to South Carolina and share a powerful post by Sarah Steed about the struggles many Mormon women face with self-worth and trying to meet impossible standards. I really related to her words because I grew up in that culture and it made me think about how I want to raise my daughters differently.
I also talk about my own struggles with body image as a personal trainer and the pressure to look a certain way. I encourage you to question the expectations you've taken on and choose what truly feels right for you. We all have divine worth, and we don’t need to prove it to anyone.
