Put Yourself First Podcast | Self Care | Personal Growth | Goal Setting | Inspirational Interviews

I am honoured to share this conversation with Mel Wells today! I have admired Mel's work for over a year now. Her first book The Goddess Revolution truly changed my life. So I'm excited to share the conversation I had with her all about her second book, Hungry For More.  The book holds a mirror up to our relationship with food and body image, and how we can use these tools (especially as women) to run away and hide from our true selves. If we heal this relationship and make peace with food, we can unlock inner strength that can transform every area of our lives. So if you're feeling stuck, or you know you need a change, or you just need some encouragement - please listen to today's episode and be as inspired as I was chatting to Mel!

It's not your job to fix people. This has been on my mind a lot lately. Whether it be myself, close friends, family members or clients coming to me stressing about someone else. Someone else's life, someone else's decisions, someone else's circumstance. Empathy can be such a wonderful trait. However, as you know if you are an empath, it can be totally debilitating as well.  Because we tend to attract a certain type of people. I call 'em energy vampires. They suck...literally. They suck all the energy and positivity out of you.  If you can relate, I hope you'll enjoy today's solo episode.

Know yourself - do anything. That's Vasavi Kumar's philosophy.

Being body confident in Summer time can be difficult - it seems everywhere you look there's bikini body plans, weight loss shakes, pills, detox teas. Not to mention our natural instinct to compare ourselves, and therefore our bodies, to other people. Today I'm sharing some body confidence advice that really helps me. Of course it goes without saying, if your body image effects your day to day life or you are suffering with disordered eating habits, please speak to your GP, there's help available for you. https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/
