Laura Agar Wilson of Wholeheartedly Healthy
Laura and I cover SO MANY THINGS in this episode, but basically she got caught up in the whole wellness scene, took things to extremes, and had to learn the importance of balance the hard way when she realised she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant if she kept going the way she was going. So we get into her story, and she talks about how she never felt good enough, even when she lost loads of weight and even when she obsessively ate clean. So she had to go through a process of coming to terms with her body’s natural weight, and how that was really, really difficult for her to look down at the scale and see the numbers were going up and having to be OK with that and to stop having messed up thought around food. And she talks about her fertility struggles and what self-care looks like for her now she is a mama. So in this episode we talk a lot about babies and baby stuff, but I don’t want you to think “I don’t have a kid, this isn’t relevant to me”. Because it it. I don’t have a kid either but I still found what Laura learned on her journey to be so poignant, that you’re going to want to stick around to hear what she says. I especially love what she says about when you’re in a funk, and asking yourself ‘How do I want to feel?’ and then doing something to make you feel that way, and to me, that’s what self-care is all about.
