The Easy Wins Podcast

One of the biggest changes I've made in my life was who I let influence my life. Growing up, like most people. I was obsessed with pro athletes and music artists. I wanted to be like them, so whatever they did, I would try to mimic. I think to a degree we've all had something like that. Maybe its a celebrity that you follow. Subconsciously, they're having an impact on how you're living your life. Whether you want it to happen or not. It's happening. So, I just ask that we take some time to evaluate this. Who do we idolize and why? For me, I started to look at people who were doing great things for the world and tried my best to be more like them. I think that same effect can help a lot of other people too. You're listening to this podcast though, so I know you're on the right track!

"Every cultural message is basically telling you why you should feel bad about yourself and simultaneously selling you another product or service that you can buy to fix that problem"- Jessi Haggerty Have you noticed that trend in this industry? Well, its podcasts like these and people like Jessi that are working to break that! Instead of telling you how you should look and what you need, why not help you learn to accept yourself and listen to what your body needs?
