Learning to Love Yourself – Body and All! EP 93

Wise advice: Learn from those who have actually experienced what you're experiencing and have successfully found a path forward. When it comes to loving yourself and your body – exactly as you are, and it is, today – Teddey has been there and done that!   As she shares her story with Host, Laura Prisc, Teddey says, "I used to think: There's something wrong with me and my body." She didn't fit the cultural expectations for who she was supposed to be. "I felt like I couldn't get my life started… I was dancing around opportunities and doing all the things I 'should' do to change my body, but it wasn't working."  Teddey was on a destructive 'binge-restrict' cycle, filled with shame and guilt, when she heard someone speaking about what she had been experiencing, realized it was something 'real' that others were struggling with, as well, and she began her path to healing through an intensive therapy program.   She learned to be kind to herself; to develop and follow more nourishing eating habits and other ways of taking real care of herself. In the process, she worked through and healed a lot of old trauma.   Today, she works with women experiencing similar challenges. She uses Reiki, Tapping, and other energetic work along with coaching to help her clients heal themselves.   Laura and Teddey discuss how our culture has normalized a lot of insane beliefs and practices that are so damaging. It's a deep and rich conversation and hopefully will inspire you to want to come back into yourself and live a more purposeful life.   Teddey's Bio:   Teddey Hicks is the Food & Body Love Coach.
