So health isn't just a noun. Health is something that I think has to do with how you treat yourself. It doesn't have to do with kale. It doesn't have to do with SoulCycle, and it certainly doesn't have to do with Pilates. Screw Pilates, first of all. I did it once, and I almost died, and that was traumatizing.
What happens when you stop chasing perfection and start embracing your true self? In this heartfelt episode of 'Valorious', Valerie Ricchuito dives into her own recovery journey, offering an unfiltered look at her struggles with body image and mental health. She doesn't hold back as she tackles society's unrealistic beauty standards and the often-ignored stigma surrounding mental health. Valerie’s raw and honest storytelling makes you feel like you're chatting with a friend who truly gets it.
She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and accepting our imperfections, reminding us that health is more than just a noun—it's a continuous journey. Whether you're battling similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to be truly healthy.
