Taking ownership of your health isn’t about chasing a number on the scale—it’s about reclaiming your joy, energy, and freedom.
In this episode of Encouragementology, professional life and recovery coach Kendell Boysen tackles a topic that's as close to the bone as it gets - taking ownership of your health and wellness by shifting your focus from vanity to vitality. Kendell delves into the common struggle many face: working out or dieting for appearance rather than genuine health.
Have you ever found yourself hitting the gym just to fit into old jeans or choosing a salad over a burger because of an upcoming beach trip? Kendell argues that true wellness isn't about a number on the scale but about reclaiming joy, energy, and freedom. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Kendell explores how societal expectations and self-imposed limitations can lead to body shaming and negative self-talk.
She shares practical strategies for breaking free from these harmful patterns, such as redefining your health goals to focus on how you feel rather than how you look. The episode also features Dr. Daniel Kelvis, who discusses the impact of body shaming on mental health, including its contribution to depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Kendell encourages listeners to practice self-love, use positive affirmations, and surround themselves with supportive people.
She also highlights the importance of finding joy in movement and nourishing your body with respect rather than adhering to restrictive diets. By embracing a holistic approach to health that includes mental and emotional well-being, you'll be better equipped to create sustainable habits that enhance your overall quality of life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to transform their approach to health and wellness.
Kendell's compassionate and humorous style makes complex topics accessible and engaging, leaving you with practical steps to start your journey towards a happier, healthier you. Are you ready to flip the script on your health goals?
