I think people who are those really big givers are, um, I'm going to say, toughest. And um, it can be tricky for those people to learn to really dive into like deep places of self-care, because it's really foreign to them, because I take care of everyone else.
Ever felt the sting of a friend's comment when you chose a salad over fries? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray dive deep into the tricky terrain of social reactions to lifestyle changes. They explore those awkward moments when your efforts to be healthier get questioned or even mocked.

Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and former professional triathlete, brings her wealth of experience in navigating both the physical and social aspects of health. Michael, with his relatable anecdotes and practical advice, complements Erin's expertise perfectly.
Together, they discuss the importance of setting boundaries, understanding your motivations, and prioritizing self-care even when it's tough.

His insight into self-care being a foreign concept for many resonates deeply, making this episode a must-listen for anyone struggling to balance personal health goals with social expectations.
