Today's journey is with the wonderful Beth who shares her vulnerable journey with her body, her confidence, motherhood, yoga & breathwork. From a young age Beth was challenged with her health and body image and from 18 Beth stepped into the world of the gym to then move into Power Lifting world with the support of her friend and also her now husband. Around 21 years old Beth began competing and fell in love with the lifestyle. 15 years down the road, Beth had her 1st child and her world changed overnight topped with a complicated labour, with a shock that her body was struggling to get back into her training plus navigating from post natal depression to then have her 2nd child 22 months later which led to a spiral of comfort eating and a dark space internally and externally. Recognising something was not right, Beth sought professional help for her mind and body and found comfort from her own home with a yoga DVD that led her to be able to gain gentle strength to then find my online yin workshop that connected us overnight.
We discuss how when we strip back what we once knew about ourselves and how it can feel so unsafe if our rigid routines change dramatically. Most of us expect to be able to power through anything however when the universe wants us to slow down it can be a huge shock to the system and bring up so much shame and anxiety. We delve into how our childhood has impacted our behaviours and beliefs as adults, acceptance and clarity with how we now perceive our journeys so far, our experiences of being daughters and how we have developed our sovereignty and resilience as adults from listening to what we truly need when we slow down and listen to our intuition as well as connecting to others intuitively. Also discussing the influence of technology, media, societal programmes, expectations, labels, external coping mechanisms and finding different modalities to express ourselves and be with ourselves.
