As women, we are bombarded with confusing messages about weight loss vs body acceptance.
Should you strive to lose weight OR find your peace in the body positivity movement.
Join me in a conversation with Lina Forrestal from the New Mamas Podcast. We aired this conversation on her show a few weeks ago, but it was just TOO good not to share with you!
You’ll leave with an understanding of how to love yourself in the process of weight loss and the exact verbiage to speak to that woman in the mirror!
Aligning your weight loss goal with your desire to love yourself can be…tricky. But that’s exactly why I do what I do--support women like you through this process in my group coaching program. DOORS OPEN IN A FEW WEEKS!
Reheat your coffee and let’s do this, friend!
