Ep. 33: Challenging the Societal Narrative & Choosing Self-Love
Manage episode 398510638 series 3462550
In Episode 33 Maria is joined by Rachel Levin, author of "The Donut Diaries" and a personal trainer and health coach with over 20 years of experience. Rachel shares her background and the transformative journey she underwent while writing her book.
Rachel reflects on her initial approach to the fitness industry, where the focus was on achieving a smaller body size. However, as she grew older, she became tired of the constant pressure to conform to a particular body image. Turning 40, she realized that despite achieving a size zero, she was still unhappy. This realization led her to explore the concept of "health at every size" and the damaging effects of restrictive dieting.
The conversation delves into the importance of self-love and the challenges women face in embracing their bodies. Rachel emphasizes the need to shift the mindset and shares her personal journey of overcoming societal pressures and negative self-talk. Maria and Rachel discuss the significance of recognizing and challenging negative beliefs rooted in adolescence and the impact of seeking external validation.
Rachel introduces a simple yet powerful exercise for listeners to implement in their daily lives – using affirmations or proclamations. The conversation continues with insights into the ongoing journey of self-love and the importance of setting boundaries. Rachel encourages women to stop seeking external opinions about their bodies and shares mantras she developed to protect her mental health. The episode concludes with a discussion on the quote that has profoundly influenced Rachel's perspective on wholeness followed by a guided relaxation led by Maria intended to help you remember your wholeness.
