012 Leaning into Discomfort with Jennifer Sterling

Hello and welcome to episode 12
of Couragemakers, I’m so happy you’re here.

I got SO much out of listening
to today’s episode back when editing it and I know you’re going to
love this one.

For this week’s episode, I
talked to the lovely Jennifer Sterling.  Jennifer Sterling is
an Emotional Eating Coach. She helps women stop eating their
feelings and release the physical, mental and emotional weight
that’s keeping them from feeling their absolute best.

This is a really juicy
conversation and we really dive deep into Jennifer’s own personal
journey of taking her health into her own hands, the taboos that
exist around how women look, and how we can learn to reconnect to
our bodies and lean into the discomfort instead of do everything we
can do avoid it.

We talked a lot about the power
of slowing down, Jennifer’s advice for any woman who struggles with
her body and why taking time for ourselves isn’t
selfish.

This is a wonderful episode if
you struggle with accepting your body, find it hard to deal with
emotions and struggle with the idea that self compassion and self
care is selfish.

Jennifer is such a grounded
person and has so many insights into how we can learn to live in
our bodies. I know this is a topic so many women struggle with, me
include and I think you’re going to find our conversation just as
healing as I did.

Enjoy the show!
