Stress isn't something I have to explain. It seems to be the way of life. But in our attempts to de-stress, I wonder are we actually getting more stressed?
Hear me out.
It seems we have more 'self-help' books and classes than ever before. Combine that with the trend of self-care and the desire to be healthier, I fear we're getting more overwhelmed with information than we are taking action because we're truly informed.
I have more people than I can count tell me, "I do everything right, I eat well and exercise and yet I still gain weight."
Do you relate?
Or maybe you better relate to this statement, "There's so much information out there, I don't even know what to do."
I think we're taking something intended for the good of ourselves, health and we're twisting it into the very thing stealing our health. Even more, we're ruining our lives by allowing our fixation on the outcome to deter us from fully living where we are.
So my question that I want to answer today, what if what we thought was bad, is actually good and the good actually bad? Maybe better said, what if our fixation on health is causing more stress, taking something intended for good and making it bad? And what if a little bit of the right stress can actually be used for our good?
Today on the podcast, I break down good stress vs. bad stress and how to use stress to your advantage - for health and life.
Deep breathes - this could be the beginning of something new and beautiful.

Self-love is a confusing topic in this day in age. In one breath you are told to love yourself no matter your size and yet the world still feels like it's constantly forcing us to be a certain size. What is right and how do you actually love yourself no matter your size?
Self-love is a topic that comes with a lot of fluff. It looks glamorous, and Instagram worthy, something to be documented and recorded. But is that love, or is a formulated version of what we think will make us feel love?
And if it's not love, what is? How do we unearth ourselves to love but also live loved?
These are all questions I'm pondering and considering as I dive into the true meaning of health, and there is no better person to help me do this than Sean Mulroney of The Obesity Revolution.
I don't want to share Sean's full story here; you'll hear him tell you himself inside the podcast. But I did want to ask Sean, a formerly 687-pound man, what does it mean to love yourself even at 687 pounds?
I also ask Sean what sparked the change in his life, how his mindset plays a role, and what he is currently learning on his journey of health, not just weight loss.

"I can look at a piece of food and gain weight." She said it with laughter under her breath, even though her tone said it all - she really believed it, but didn't want to.
The questions and blanket statements so many of us throw around, looking for something to grasp onto an answer to the question of why your weight won't budge.
We want to know, what is the deal with fat and why does it seem to pack on so much easier than we can let it go?
