305: A 30 Day Abstinence Journey from Perfectionism and Exercise Addiction with Lauren Sheehey

Nourishing Women Podcast

Wow today’s episode is AWE INSPIRING. I am honored to have guest Lauren Sheehey on the podcast today to talk with you about the mask of perfectionism, and her 30 day abstinence journey from perfectionism and exercise. A quick trigger warning: we do discuss trauma and sexual assault in today’s episode.

Lauren Sheehey is a writer, meditation teacher, relentless creative, and most recently a new mom. For years, she worked with clients around the world as a Lifestyle Development Coach; her work focused exclusively on guiding women through their healing, empowerment, and self-actualization with a fully integrated, mind-body approach.

Now, Lauren is translating this work into motherhood and facilitating deep-dive conversations on her podcast, Hungry for More. She has witnessed, first-hand, the power of inviting women to tell, own, and write their stories. She knows that showing up and sharing oneself in a way that is unapologetically real and raw is ultimately the path to revolution.

You can find her writing on her blog, her instagram, and scattered across the internet for professional wellness brands. She has edited books for publishing and advised the copywriting for countless marketing campaigns, but you can find her doing what she loves most on her podcast; writing about the hard, beautiful, messy moments of life and reading them to her community.

In this episode:

• Lauren’s work and podcast, Hungry for More.
• The ever-evolving journey of recovering from an eating disorder and healing from past traumas.
• Taking the mask of perfectionism off to truly heal.
• What Lauren’s 30 day abstinence from perfectionism and exercise addiction, what this looks like and an honest review of how it’s going.
• How Lauren practices wellness without obsession.
