17 | How to Love Your Body and Pursue Lifelong Health, with Sonia Jhas

You are going to be riveted by Sonia Jhas’ story. Sonia is the author of “I’ll Start Again Tomorrow, and Other Lies I’ve Told Myself”, a mindset and wellness expert, and personal trainer. She’s also authentic and wise. For a long time in her life, she was seeking health, wellness and happiness in all the wrong places: achieving goals, pursuing the wrong career, eating disorders, weight loss, and pure determination. We have an incredible conversation about the wearisome cycle of reaching for the perfect body and then falling “off the wagon” so to speak, feeling terrible about it yet repeating that cycle over and over again. She says that even from a young age, she didn’t feel good in her own skin, and the first pain point she needed to solve was the relationship with her own body. What followed was an un-peeling of layers in her mindset, her goals and her lifestyle. There was no quick fix. She abandoned what she knew about fitness and nutrition and started over. I love that she talked about “abandoning the timeline” for her goals. Instead, she started paying attention to how she felt about every aspect about her health routines, and she got really clear about what she wanted. Those mindset shifts started to make all the difference and paved the way for her to be able to start making aligned decisions and truly change her life. Lastly, Sonia and I talk about body image. Such an important topic. I really loved her perspective on this - she gave us some great tips on tuning into our bodies, honoring the mind-body connection and fueling a narrative about ourselves that is about “capacity and potential.” Sonia’s book - I’ll Start Again Tomorrow and Other Lies I’ve Told Myself Sonia on IG Sonia’s website Connect with the Daily Wellness Community website: dailywellnesscommunity.com IG: @dailywellnesscommunity Facebook: Daily Wellness Community Leave a podcast review on Apple Podcasts Some products I mention may be affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission if you decide to make a purchase through one of my links.
