Love Your Bodd

This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather sits down with Kelsey Lane Davidson - an expert in finding a balance when it comes to fitness. Kelsey is a strength and conditioning coach that helps you get fit in the chaos that is life. She has a background in university athletics, corporate wellness and helping everyday folks getting fitter. Additionally, Kelsey is a wife, dog mom, multi-passionate entrenpeur, podcaster and actress. In this episode we talk about health and fitness as it relates to stress, hormones, and the chaos that is live.  Kelsey gives us some tangible tips on being more intentional when it comes to our relationship with fitness but also that there’s an ebb and flow.  Kelsey is also the first guest to appear on the Love Your Bodd PATREON! In her exclusive interview we do some myth busting about being in the fitness industry as well as chat about what Kelsey would change if she could (or is actively trying to change!)

Today on Love Your Bodd we have an interview with Sara Alexander, a British-Sardinian actress & author. We talk about female sensuality, vulnerability, and our intellect versus our impulses when it comes to sex. We surround this conversation around the Off West End play in which Sara recently performed, called ‘Rejoicing at Her Wondrous Vulva the Young Woman Applauded Herself.’ (P.S. Sara has been nominated for an Offie (Off West End) award 2020 for her role!!)  We touch on so much more - working in an image based industry, how sex is so taboo to talk about and yet used to sell everything, and we get into a deep conversation about "self love" and why it can be a dangerous term to use.    FIND SARA  Instagram & Twitter: @sarajalexander Website: http://www.saraalexander.net/ Click here for Sara's new book: A Roman Rhapsody!     __________________________________________   JOIN THE GEEKNASIUM 5 DAY FREE CHALLENGE (JULY 1ST - 5TH 2019) : https://heather-boddy.com/geeknasiumworkout   _____________________

Hello Lovers! Today on Love Your Bodd we are going to talk about why you are SO AFRAID to succeed! I'll give you some tools to BANISH your fears by using self-love, self-esteem, self-worth, and compassion.    First things first, I talk a lot about where you get your validation. In this episode I only speak about people we get validation from in the form of direct relationships but I wanted to make a note that you might also seek validation through things like the scale, social media, and other external forces. The tools I give you in this episode can also help you get rid of the need to seek validation from those other external forces as well.    Link to youtube video about Emotional Intelligence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjFMCBSRzdw   Link to CALM app: https://www.calm.com/   Get on the waitlist for Heather's Nerdy Workout Program GEEKNASIUM here: https://heather-boddy.com/geeknasiumworkout   __________________________________________   GO LIVE IT UP!

Naomi S is a college student who has struggled with her relationship with food and exercise since 8th grade. She was diagnosed with anorexia and was told that if she reached a certain weight, everything would be okay... but that REALLY didn't address any of her deeper issues.  She then discovered Body Positivity on Instagram and started learning as much as she could about Diet Culture and realized that it wasn't a problem with HER, it was a problem with SOCIETY. And that's when she started her instagram account Diet Culture Sucks.  Hear her story today!!    FIND NAOMI ON INSTAGRAM:   @dietculturesucks   References Naomi used to help her recover:   The Beauty Myth: wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beauty_Myth   Jess Baker's Books, Landwhale & Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls: http://www.themilitantbaker.com/p/the-book-things-no-one-will-tell-fat.html    Christy Harrison's Podcast - Food Psych: https://christyharrison.com/foodpsych/   _________________________________________   GO LIVE IT UP!

Welcome back, Lovers!  This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather sits down with Bryan D - A daytime accountant who also teaches Group Exercise and has built a brand for himself in the fitness industry.    We talk about his fitness career and how the brand he got started with made him feel like he would be nothing without them.  We talk about the affect that social media has had on his body image & his relationship with food and how he overcame that comparison and found balance.  We talk about his sexuality and his struggle to express himself as gay growing up in the south with religious parents. We also dig deep into his compartmentalized relationship with his parents.  But his final message is the most important - Be Yourself!    FIND BRYAN on INSTAGRAM: @onlybryan_     _________________________________________   I need help with a super BIG project that I'm creating specifically for my Lovers.
