Episode 319: The quality of your body shapes the quality of your life

by | Oct 10, 2024 | Podcast | 0 comments

In today’s EP, I dive deep into a conversation that’s been brewing inside of me for a long time. I had the absolute privilege of attending an event with one of my greatest mentors, Esther Perel, and it got me thinking about how the relationship we have with our bodies—the way we train, nourish, and care for ourselves—impacts everything in our lives. 

_Could it be that the foundation of all our relationships stems from the quality of our health and nervous system? _

Join me as we explore the idea that building a strong relationship with yourself first can unlock better relationships with others and ultimately lead to a more powerful, fulfilling life.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Esther Perel’s Influence: Esther’s teachings on relationships have shaped how I approach both personal and coaching relationships for over a decade.
  2. The Foundation of Connection: The quality of our relationships with others may depend on the quality of the relationship we have with our bodies—our training, nourishment, and metabolic health.
  3. The Red Umbrella Analogy: Your nervous system, like an umbrella, has prongs (training, food, sleep, etc.). If one prong is off, it impacts your entire system.
  4. A Disconnection Problem: Many women believe they have a weight problem, but the real issue is disconnection from their bodies and themselves.
  5. Relationship with Yourself First: Building a powerful, loving relationship with your body through training and nutrition is the foundation for strong relationships with others.
  6. Empowerment through Training: A long-term commitment to training can restore your power and transform how you relate to yourself and the world.
