#8 How to Find Your Happy Weight + Unlock Your Confidence

Nov 28, 2018

"When we focus on a number on the scale, we are never going to find happiness and we are never going to find balance in our life"

 

In episode 08 of the Between Meals Podcast, I am joined by my friend and co-host Daniele Della Valle as we talk about how to find your happy weight and unlock your confidence. 

As we unpack this topic and dive into exploring what this has meant for both of us personally and in working with clients, I am not going to pretend that this is an easy shift or something that you just flip a switch on and suddenly boom, congrats girl, you are confident, proud and accepting of every bit of your body. This is an ongoing journey and spoiler alert –– this isn’t linear – there are ups and downs, there are set backs and there are tough lessons. Mostly it’s not about the end game or reaching some goal where you never struggle again, but rather it’s about honoring the work and the lessons we learn along the way.

But like so many things in life, this is also your reminder that this is a practice. It’s a practice that requires work, it requires you to show up and sometimes it requires you to dig deep into the shadowy parts of yourself that you may not be quite ready to face just yet - but like the work you put into your health, this too has incredible rewards and you

Stay tuned to the end of the podcast, where I am sharing a beautiful practice that has been so powerful for me, to support you in your self love and body confidence journey and to remind you that you are perfect, exactly the way that you are.

In this episode learn show up and do the work, how to deconstruct toxic environments and relationship and be open to rebuilding, living your life the way that you were meant to live it!!
