SLP 468: How Can You Not Love Yourself with Anna Rendina

‘It’s always going to be a work in progress, I tell you. That’s why you inspire me so much. Because coming in and out of it – wow – it wasn’t until I got Lymes and I had seen the changes in my body that I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror at one stage. It was like oh my cover all the mirrors. It was – looking back now – I just think how could you not love yourself to that extent? Even now as I am putting my hand on my heart I couldn’t even do that. So how did I come out of that? I guess just growth, just growth.’ ~ Anna Rendina In this week’s podcast, Anna Rendina a Health and Nutrition Coach, shares her journey into health and wellness, her personal experiences with self-love and mindset, and the importance of self-care routines. Anna is someone who believes in the impact of good nutrition on mental and physical health, and the significance of nutritional education, and in sharing her knowledge in coaching and retreats she can support women to live their best lives. As a co-founder of Rendina’s Biodynamic Butchery over 24 years ago Anna’s experience and knowledge with food and nutrition was always prominent. At the age of 18, diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, Anna always felt in tune with her body and knew when things didn’t feel right. From that point, her journey began, seeking natural therapies to heal. As the family grew Anna became more and more focused on clean food and a clean environment for her family. For many years working with naturopaths and holistic integrated practitioners Anna thrived on educating herself and became more intrigued but, it wasn’t until she hit rock bottom that she truly discovered her passion for wellness. After being diagnosed with Lyme disease in early 2020 Anna decided to further her knowledge and become a certified health and wellness coach. Anna felt there was a gap in helping women navigate perimenopause and wanted to be able to help women understand the importance of overall health and optimal well-being. Burning the candle at both ends, restricting calories and focusing on the scale for so many years would take its toll and Anna’s holistic approach to health and well-being is based not only on nourishing your body with wholefoods but creating an environment for thrive. As an NLP and functional nutrition practitioner Anna’s mission is to help women become the best version of themselves in all aspects of their lives. Her definition of Self Love is accepting yourself and knowing that you are enough. Her favourite quote is from Louise Hay: May this offering help you find the place within where you know your own self-worth. The part of you that is pure love and self-acceptance.

I believe in nutrition for wellbeing. Your body will tell you what it needs and doesn’t need. You are what you eat eats. I did not feel in control of myself, I was not listening. I am always a work in progress. You train like an athlete but don’t recover like one. I was the kind of person who felt everything had to be perfect. We need to find a balance and be realistic. You are worthy, you are knowledgeable, and you can do this. Be honest with yourself and also not require validation from others. It starts to show and energy starts to flow. The biggest thing is how we see the world and how we perceive others. Ask questions like what’s working? And what’s not working? The Universe is listening. Focus on what is working not what is not working. Our unconscious mind listens to what we tell it. What is perfection? I don’t know! Food does affect your thinking. What you don’t know, you don’t know.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.
