In this episode, Melissa Fabiano and I discuss body acceptance (my arch nemesis) and how mindfulness ties into it. We also get into exercise addiction and how to maintain a healthy relationship with exercise.

How does tying our identity to our appearance impact accepting our bodies?

How can we be more self-aware of when we are tying our self- acceptance and body acceptance to outside factors?


We get into all of this and more!

Melissa Fabiano is a coach, teacher, educator and the founder of Fuel Wellness. Her holistic and comprehensive approach to body acceptance including mindfulness, personal experience and exercise is truly admirable. Not to mention she also so sweet and kind.

Decompress with Jess - Ep 25: Stress, Anxiety, Trauma and Healing with Alison
play

03/29/22 • 28 min

Stress, trauma and trauma (oh my)!!! In this episode, Stress/Trauma Coach and Mentor Alison discusses the big three, how they coexist, and ways for us to really feel that healing component in today's overstimulated world.
How do stress, trauma and healing coexist together?
What is the science behind stress and trauma?
What are some strategies we can utilize to help handle stress and anxiety?
We get into all of this and more!
What I love about Alison is that she really ties her own personal experience into the episode and is vulnerable with the audience. She is also very realistic. In saying that although stress is unavoidable, there are ways to live in a place of less stress. I truly felt more empowered after this episode. I hope you did too!

Hi friends and Happy New Year! I am back for the first episode of the new year yay! For today's episode I have on Rachel Kove, and we discussed yes everyone's favorite topic....self-sabotage (yikessss)
What is self-sabotage?
How can our unconscious habits lead to conscious choices?

What lured me in about Rachel is how candid and genuine she is. She talks about everything from body image to perfectionism and being vulnerable. She makes all these topics seem less scary and totally relatable.

Basically, she does it all while making you feel comfortable enough to open up to her about topics people usually don't feel super comfortable opening up about. This was a great conversation!
