Are you ready to face your messiest parts and gain the tools to transform them into your greatest teachers?
This episode promises a journey of self-discovery and healing as I open up about my personal struggle with body image and disordered eating that started when I was merely nine. Listen to how therapeutic sessions, life coaching, and the power of affirmations, visualizations, and manifestations have guided my way to self-acceptance.
But it’s not just about me. In this episode, we’ll also delve into why it’s crucial to create space for these uncomfortable facets of ourselves. By embracing, not ignoring, these parts, we find they become less demanding and easier to manage. You’ll gain insights on building healthier relationships with these aspects of yourself and how to decide which ones deserve your attention. We’ll talk about self-care and the vital balance between expressing our struggles and taking a break. Best of all, you’ll learn about the Fully Expressed Community, a unique space for women to connect, learn, and flourish. Join us for this enlightening journey through the muck we all carry and come out the other side stronger, clearer, and fully expressed.

Welcome to The Fully Expressed podcast with Karenna. Today and always, my intention is to create this space to invite you into your fullest express self in real life, in relationships and in business. My intention for this space is really to create and add that next step in your personal evolution, and so for today’s episode, I plan on talking about how the messiest parts of you are your biggest teachers. I’ve been dying to create and speak to this and to create this episode for you, and today it feels a little bit spontaneous in the sense that I was really having conversation with a friend today. We went for a walk and we were talking about it and this topic specifically came up and in our conversation about how the messiest parts of us are our biggest teachers. And it’s just feel, if you said that today I have a lot of time before the next thing that I have to go to, so I just jumped on here and hit record and so you’re getting this real raw part of me that’s coming right off the track. So I’m super excited to dive into the messiest parts of us. I really think the messiest parts of us are our biggest teachers, and so to give you a little bit of light into our conversation today and where it started from. It really started from a place of talking about our relationship with our bodies, our relationships with our image and what that was for me and what my journey was with that and how I worked through that. Through our conversation, I shared with her that I also, too, have struggled with my body image stuff. I’ve struggled with feeling confident. I’ve struggled with negatively, basically picking apart the parts of my body and how I felt about that. And so she asked me how did you get through that? And I shared with her that I really leaned into the icky, I leaned into the messiness and the parts of me that did not feel good. Right, how I did that. So to give you a little bit of background, when it came to my body image and I’ve openly talked about this on social media, I’ve openly talked about this on the podcast already, but I think I’ve had disordered eating and an unhealthy relationship with food and my body.
Since I was nine, I want to say I honestly, probably even sooner than that I’ve been constantly comparing myself to other people, looking at what I was wearing versus what they were wearing...
