Learning to Be on My Own Side
from Living on the Virg Podcast
Today I’m talking about what it really looks like to be kind to a body that’s changing — and why I’m finally learning to be on my own side. From wine hitting differently, to food affecting mood and energy, to realizing rest days aren’t “weak”… they’re how you keep living your life without burning out. I share why “Me Monday” has become a game-changer, how I’m redefining health as energy (not aesthetics), and why gentle structure beats punishment every time. Plus, This Week on the Virg (chile relleno casserole + the Bloody Maria I can’t stop thinking about) and a very honest Winos on the Virg review of Cougar Winery on the De Portola Trail — the vibe, the service, what I tasted, and whether I’d join the club.#LivingOnTheVirg #LearningToBeOnMyOwnSide #GentleStructure #SupportOverPunishment #RestDay #MeMonday #HealthJourney #NervousSystem #SelfKindness #MindBody #TemeculaWine #WinosOnTheVirg #CougarWinery #DePortolaWineTrail #LifestylePodcastFollow up on YouTube!
