In this discussion with Hannah Stainer, we talk about the mind-body disconnect and the impact it can have on our wellbeing.
Our chat expands on why loving yourself is vital but only the end goal and how respect is the first step. We also talk about perfectionism, body diversity, body image, feeling comfortable in our own skin, comfort eating, and the importance of play.
“We talk a lot about mental health being one thing and physical health being this other thing. While they are distinct, they are very interrelated. That’s the part that fascinates me, and the part where I find it most helpful to intervene because we can see the ways in which taking care of our bodies is taking of our mood and our mental health. When we can work on our mental health, it helps us then be better stewards and caretakers of our body.
