Today, I'm so excited to talk with Jenn Kautsch, of SoberSis. Jenn has spent time taking a break from drinking without having to use willpower or feeling deprived. She lives more of a mindful lifestyle and says "learning the science behind what my body/mind was experiencing has empowered me to make different choices. It's like I was living a somewhat divided life, constantly feeling in conflict and stuck in an internal tug-of-war. God really brought me freedom by bringing together the mind-body-spirit connection so I could live a more wholehearted life. That's how I want to live as I get closer to my 50's and beyond."

Just sitting here this morning drinking my morning cup of love as I process some things this morning. Love is powerful, isn't it? In fact, a client and I were just talking yesterday and she said to me ~ "It's not about losing weight anymore! It's about loving me {my body} at every stage of my life, stopping the self-sabotaging {this is huge}, having food freedom/mindful eating. WOW.

I've been doing a lot of podcast interviews lately and the common theme has been around loving yourself and taking care of yourself. Now before you go off on me and tell me that isn't Biblical ~ let's remember the verse ~ "love your neighbor AS YOURSELF." ~ Mark 12:31. It seems a lot of times we cut off the "as yourself" part. I'm not sure where the message got into our minds that taking care of ourselves makes us selfish? And I don't mean spending hours at the spa, I'm referring to the basics of self care ~ nutrition, hydration, safe movement, sleep, stress management, etc. The basic pillars of health, really.

Friends ~ you cannot pour from an empty cup. If you're not doing the basics for yourself ~ how are you showing up in the world? For your family? Is that what you want to model to your kids? More is caught than taught. I hope you know I say all of this in love. If 2020 has taught me anything ~ it's the absolute need for the basic pillars of health for ourselves and future generations. Dive in to hear more.
