“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” —Maya Angelou
This quote opens the book Finally Thriving – Your Guide to Empowered Wellness, from Allison Pelot who is the guest on this episode.
When I’d gotten a request to have a self described holistic fitness trainer, nutrition and energy coach on the show, my walls immediately went up. I’ve had a lifelong struggle with food addiction, an eating disorder, and body dysmorphia, and have serious issues with the diet and fitness industry for taking advantage of people like me. I was sure she’d be like all the others who just take 500 pages to tell you to use willpower, eat this not that, and exercise more.
Then, I opened my mind, dropped my preconceived ideas and learned some more about Allison and the book. It turns out I really identified with her holistic approach to our wellbeing. In her book, Allison focuses on self care for your physical, mental, and spiritual well being and how to create a self-care wellness routine to nourish every aspect of your life.
