Vulnerability and Self-Love: Alexa Greer's Path to Healing

You can't really learn from any wellness leader or spiritual guide that isn't able to admit their own, their own kind of like place in the journey, and anybody who comes off as having gotten it all figured out like really doesn't and probably isn't somebody to take guidance from.
Imagine sipping on a refreshing mocktail while diving into a heartfelt chat about self-love and mental health. That's exactly what happens in this episode of 'Mocktails and the Mind'. Host Ambur Wilkerson welcomes Alexa Greer, the voice behind the Self Love Collective, for an intimate discussion that peels back the layers of vulnerability and healing.
Alexa opens up about her personal battles with body dysmorphia and food trauma, sharing how these experiences have shaped her mission to create a gender-inclusive space for mental health healing. She emphasizes the importance of being open and honest about our struggles, especially for those in wellness leadership roles. According to Alexa, true growth and healing come from admitting our imperfections, not pretending to have it all together. The conversation also tackles the myth of control.
Alexa and Ambur debunk the idea that we’re mere passengers in our lives. While we can't control everything that happens to us, we do have the power to choose how we respond and move forward. This empowering message is sure to resonate with anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's unpredictability. Throughout the episode, Alexa offers practical advice on cultivating self-love.
From meeting our basic needs like hunger and thirst to practicing gratitude and positive self-talk, her tips are both accessible and transformative. She also shares details about her upcoming healing-through-food mini-retreat, designed to support those struggling with eating disorders and body image issues. This episode is a rich tapestry of personal anecdotes and broader insights, making it a must-listen for anyone on a journey toward self-love and mental wellness.
So grab your favorite mocktail and tune in for a conversation that's as nourishing for the soul as it is enlightening.
