Self-Care Society

Welcome to the fourth episode of the self-care society podcast. In this episode, our host Ashley Cutcher discusses the importance of healthy relationships and ways of practicing them. Self-care is not only the relationship we have with ourselves and what we do for ourselves, but the relationships we have around us and how we are feeding them, and receiving nourishment from them. Five important elements of a healthy relationship are discussed and how they play important roles in ensuring a healthy relationship in our life.

In this episode, Kerri Shaw interviews a guest about their journey to achieving their professional goals. The guest also shares stories of their real-life struggles to reach the place they have always wanted to be and how they collaborated with other professionals and maintained a healthy work-life balance in their life.

Discovering her "pink" amidst the gray days of postpartum depression wasn't easy, but it was a journey that brought her to a place of empowerment and vitality. This week on Self Care Society, Brenna Smith joins us to reveal how she helps women unearth that lost spark through dedicated self-care. We weave through stories of transformation, where the seemingly small habit changes in Brenna's clients have sparked profound shifts in health, happiness, and perspective. Embracing holistic self-care isn't just about shedding pounds; it's about nurturing our entire being to flourish in all aspects of life.
Navigating the personal side of wellness can be challenging, especially when juggling the demands of the sandwich generation. Her own serendipitous discovery of pickleball offered a refreshing outlet for community and fitness, a sentiment echoed by many seeking balance. Brenna and Kerri also touch on the delicate relationship between client and personal trainer, where emotional vulnerability meets the honor of guiding someone through their wellness journey. As we wrap up the episode, we leave our listeners with a powerful affirmation: Caring for oneself is an act of necessity, not indulgence – a mantra to carry in our hearts until we meet again.
Brenna's bio:
I am a mother of two college-aged kids and was born and raised in a small town in TN. I'm a mild-mannered accountant by day but when I'm not working my full time job, I have a passion for helping others achieve their best level of health and fitness (mental and physical). My own struggles with weight and identity as a new Mom who battled post-partum depression led me to earn certifications in Personal Training and Behavior Change Specialization among other group fitness certifications. I believe caring for your mind and body in a way that helps it excel and helps you find your best level of energy is a highly overlooked form of self-care.
