“Life is going to happen and the more that we understand, reconnect, remember that reconnection with our inner wisdom, the easier it is to actually engage with life." - Brian Berneman
On today’s Episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, I’m sharing with you my conversation with Bryan Bernemen on The Conscious Action Podcast.
I challenge the conventional wisdom on dieting and fitness as we look at why diets fail, and what you can do differently. I’m also unpacking the nuances of ‘transformation’ versus ‘results,’ and how you can move from a life of limitations to one of endless possibilities.
From the role of intuitive eating to overcoming chronic pain to the habits that define successful “athletes” in all walks of life, this is a holistic conversation about optimizing your performance from the inside out.
Plus, I also talk about my journey with some personal stories I’ve never shared publicly before being a child athlete and always competing to getting hit by a car and the consequences of it.
