Today I talk to Sophia Fountoukidis. Sophia is currently completing her masters in social work, after changing career paths and recovering from an eating disorder. She has made herself so much stronger as she has healed, and is sharing her life lessons to support the recovery of others now. During our conversation we talk about the differences between taking a vacation from work in London vs. LA and the overall benefits of taking time off to rejuvenate. Sophia reminds us, "the key is to learn how to do things daily that keep you well." She also shares suggestions on wellness activities she partakes in to avoid burnout such as yoga, meditation, and journaling. This helps to get the body into a parasympathetic state and function optimally. In addition we talk about the importance of checking in with yourself regularly, how there's good in everything, and the benefits of trying to be more flexible in life. Sophia referenced the book, The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.
