Finding Her: A Mental Health Podcast

This episode rounds out the body positivity movement series on Finding Her. Julia introduces Bex Bedford to the Finding Her community. Here's a little information about this powerhouse woman. Bex Bedford is a Voice Over Actor/Producer, Podcast Host, YouTube Content Creator, Public Speaker, and Entrepreneur. She has found her true authenticity, voice, and truth through an experience that kept her hiding and fueling her food addiction for eight years. Mastering the art of not being seen in the body she lives in, Bex changed her life to meet her needs to hide because of the size of her body. She dives deep into her own journey and how she felt during this time that she refers to as "living as a hermit".

Things to think about when you are listening to this episode. You may want to take notes and listen more than once to Bex as she shares struggles, feelings, and examples of how fear and not wanting to be seen in her body lead her life for eight years. Bex shared the moment she finally said this is enough and began the ardouos journey of uncovering who she really was by the help of a therapist. She shared that after her therapist moved she continued to fight the fight and worked on herself which in turn opened up many opportunities for her to speak her truth and help others from sharing her story.

Bex's Self Inventory & Check In example:

1. Stop and check in with yourself during your day. It should take about five minutes.

2. During this time you can reflect on what is or is not serving you.

3. Make a change or adjustment regardless if the consequence is good or bad.

4. Give yourself permission to reflect, understand, and evolve from guiding yourself.

Guiding: connected to your personal beliefs, morals, and what you want and need in life.

Quick episode today on Finding Her, Julia shares her current four favorite F words. Pairing each with a detailed explanation including how they all are intertwined. What are yours? Why?

Freedom: Julia shares that Freedom has allowed her to be creative, free to seek therapy, freedom to understand her own strengths and weaknesses and ability to become a digital nomad.

What would you choose as your first favorite F word and why? Julia steps up and not only shares her word but also places an intention and reason as to why she has selected freedom as a favorite.

Fear: This used to be a word that Julia was not allowing in her life. Really to hide from and not face the fear that has been attempting to dominate her life since she was an eight year old girl. She has spoken on this topic before and relays the main idea that fear should not be feared as it should be a tool to use to keep us safe and not to limit us on what we are all capable of doing or changing in our lives. Kick that fear monster in the face.

How do you feel about Fear being a favorite F word and why?

Faith: Julia is a religious woman, yet she has decided to keep her relationship with the almighty private and she will not share on this platform. Faith has helped Julia in life when she felt all alone navigating her life's challenges and kept her focused on changing her life for her and her three children. Faith helped her see the good in people and to work on believing that she could change her life for the better. Coming from a very dark place Julia wanted change in her life as she was in a toxic relationship since she was 17 years old. Faith gave her the ability to think about leaving the world of public education and create a business and brand where she can teach self improvement skills to women all over the world.

Finally, Julia shares her final favorite F word: F-U-N; as she has mentioned before Julia wanted to be both a writer and a comedian as she grew up watching SNL and Comic Relief. Yep, she loved to have fun and spend time with family and time away from technology. She enjoys camping, hiking and spending time outside.
