Ep 105 Ms Bikini Pro Heather Messenger -There Is A Warrior Inside Of You

Have you ever struggled with your self-image or feel that you don't know if you have the strength to own yourself?  Whether it be mental or physical, finding your strength can be difficult at best, and when dealing with postpartum psychosis or depression, it can be even more frustrating.  If you feel trapped with these heavy issues, there is a way out, and we talk about it in this episode from one who has been through it.   Listen to the podcast HERE   Heather Messenger is a Ms. Bikini Universe Pro. She experienced a heart attack at just 18 and then struggled with her weight.  Years later after giving birth to her child she experienced postpartum psychosis. Through fitness and exercise she began to change her mental and physical state.  She truly believes in helping women understand their underlying strength and supporting women to reach their full potential. She also is a proponent for bringing awareness to multiple issues that women experience during the postpartum phase. Questions I asked: What have you gained from your fitness journey? What advice do you have for new moms dealing with postpartum depression? How do you think we can overcome the negative? How were you able to build up your confidence?   Topics Discussed: How inner beauty has to be developed first. How to deal with postpartum depression and psychosis. The importance of your own value. How to build yourself up.
