going inwrd

Hello! Welcome to the "Going INWRD" podcast, where we deep dive into the raw, real and vulnerable stories that encompass the human experience. From fitness & wellness, to mental health and personal growth, we contemplate the messages we hear in today's society and how they shape our mindset and actions. It’s easy to get swayed by society’s expectations, but this is your safe space to reflect inwards, quiet the external noise, lean into your authenticity and redefine what living well and healthy mean to you. Get excited for stories, experiences and bits of wisdom thrown here and there. So glad you're here!

07: reframing the mindset and stereotypes around rest and just why you need it

We’ll panic when our phones are at 1%, but how often do we panic when we’re at 1%? The ability to slow down and recharge in today’s society is…hard!! We live in a reality where we are judged by our accomplishments and how MUCH we achieve on the outside. Rest is seen as “lazy” and something “earned for” and when we do take it, we feel guilty that we “should” be doing more. In this episode we break down just WHY we need rest, how to reframe the mindset we have about rest, the types of rest and wha...

06: when focusing on the numbers can be too much

in a world where numbers are everything, it’s hard to see beyond them sometimes. chasing numbers isn't a bad thing - they can be super motivating at times - but when the intention behind a goal is rooted in a number, that's when it can throw one off. Do things because you love them so much, not because you’re being forced to hit a certain number. It'll come when you start to enjoy what you're doing, keep it consistent and let loose a little! That's when you'll see change. I used to be so number ...

05: All about society's definitions and portrayal of wellness

Because even the wellness space has indirectly primed us that wellness should look, feel and be a certain way. It's not about being 100% clean every single day, obsessing over a single pillar of wellness or feeling the need to be doing everything the world tells you to do in order to be "healthy". It's more about getting in tune with yourself and having the awareness to advocate for you, to say "yes" to some wellness trends and "no" to others. Wellness, at the end of the day, should ADD to your ...

02: Speaking my story, the ways I don't fit status quo and how YOU can start living for you

From me seeing myself as a “problem that needed to be fixed” to 10 years later, finding a headspace that allows me to live as authentically as I can - here’s my story and the many, many ways I don’t fit status quo. It took steps into musical theatre, voice lessons, ballet, yoga and now fitness for me to find what I stand for, my values and how I want to show up day-to-day and own that, be okay with that, and show up as authentically as I can with my decisions and daily actions. By no means am I ...
