In today’s episode of The Babies and Boardrooms Podcast, Tarrah and Larissa delve into their personal journeys of health, wellness, healing, and parenting. Tarrah discusses her path from childhood struggles with weight and emotional eating to losing a significant amount of weight, entering the fitness industry, and eventually developing an unhealthy body image and an eating disorder. She emphasizes her journey towards healing, where she redefined her focus on holistic health, mental well-being, and strength rather than aesthetics.
Tarrah also explains her experience with adrenal fatigue, the importance of listening to your body, and adopting a lifestyle that supports overall health. Her transformation ultimately prepared her for becoming a mother, allowing her to approach pregnancy and postpartum recovery with a positive body image and an understanding of nurturing both physical and mental well-being.
Larissa shares insights about creating a balanced approach to parenting and promoting healthy relationships with food for her son. She describes her son's access to a refrigerator filled with nutritious snacks in his room, allowing him to make intuitive food choices and develop a sense of trust in his body's hunger cues.
Throughout the episode, both Tarrah and Larissa emphasize the importance of shifting the focus away from external aesthetics towards cultivating mental and physical well-being. They highlight the significance of healing from past traumas and building positive body images, especially in the context of raising children with healthy relationships to food and self-worth. The episode emphasizes that wellness encompasses mental, emotional, and physical aspects, and that true health comes from self-care, self-acceptance, and a mindful approach to living.
