This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather sits down with Kelsey Lane Davidson - an expert in finding a balance when it comes to fitness. Kelsey is a strength and conditioning coach that helps you get fit in the chaos that is life. She has a background in university athletics, corporate wellness and helping everyday folks getting fitter. Additionally, Kelsey is a wife, dog mom, multi-passionate entrenpeur, podcaster and actress.

In this episode we talk about health and fitness as it relates to stress, hormones, and the chaos that is live. 

Kelsey gives us some tangible tips on being more intentional when it comes to our relationship with fitness but also that there’s an ebb and flow. 

Kelsey is also the first guest to appear on the Love Your Bodd PATREON! In her exclusive interview we do some myth busting about being in the fitness industry as well as chat about what Kelsey would change if she could (or is actively trying to change!) Make sure to join us on Patreon to hear that!

It's Heather's first "Heart to Heart" Episode and this week we are talking about the lack of body diversity in Disney Princesses (and "Strong Disney Heroines"). 

Representation is SO important so listen as Heather discusses her own personal experience projecting "seeing herself" in Princesses that don't accuratley represent her.

This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather welcomes her good friend and business coach, Megan Yelaney! Heather and Meg have a long history of friendship so the interview flows naturally and hits on so many incredible topics:

• How Megan changed Heather’s life - the ripple effect and how you never know where a connection can lead
• Dishing about what it was like being Beachbody coaches, how it affected us, the rebrand from Beachbody to Bodi
• Making empowered decisions when it comes to food and fitness 
• Replacing one obsession with another whether its “healthy” or not
• Ditching the scale
• Separating yourself from how you look
• Eating for joy!
• Goal setting and feeling unsatisfied when you reach certain goals
• Tools on how to free up mental space by not thinking about food and body 

*CW: weight loss, before/after photos, disordered eating habits, beachbody company*

Where do harmful beliefs about our bodies come from? How can we work through those beliefs so that we aren't constanty berating our bodies? We answer these questions and more in my interview with Anthea Spiteri, a coach who helps women feel confident in themselves and their body from the inside out.

Your body is not the problem! Anthea and I discuss where "blaming your body" might stem from and she gives you tangible tools to work through those harmful thoughts.

Today on Love Your Bodd we have an interview with Sara Alexander, a British-Sardinian actress & author. We talk about female sensuality, vulnerability, and our intellect versus our impulses when it comes to sex. We surround this conversation around the Off West End play in which Sara recently performed, called ‘Rejoicing at Her Wondrous Vulva the Young Woman Applauded Herself.’

(P.S. Sara has been nominated for an Offie (Off West End) award 2020 for her role!!) 

We touch on so much more - working in an image based industry, how sex is so taboo to talk about and yet used to sell everything, and we get into a deep conversation about "self love" and why it can be a dangerous term to use.

Hello Lovers!

Today on Love Your Bodd we are going to talk about why you are SO AFRAID to succeed! I'll give you some tools to BANISH your fears by using self-love, self-esteem, self-worth, and compassion. 

First things first, I talk a lot about where you get your validation. In this episode I only speak about people we get validation from in the form of direct relationships but I wanted to make a note that you might also seek validation through things like the scale, social media, and other external forces. The tools I give you in this episode can also help you get rid of the need to seek validation from those other external forces as well.

Love Your Bodd warmly welcomes back previous guest, Katie Barrett! Her life has done a complete 180 since the last time Heather interviewed her. Her first interview was about her struggles with Weight, Infertility, and Pregnancy loss. This interview is about changes she made for her health, how she found out she was pregnant and her mindset throughout her pregnancy, and her relationship with her body now that she has a beautiful and healthy baby girl! Her advice to those having trouble conceiving: never give up but also don't stop living your LIFE!

This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather sits down with Amanda Jean: a body image and intuition coach, also a neuroscience nerd who loves personal development and learning about how the brain works. So most of what we talk about has to do with creating mental resilience and how you can use your MIND to overcome SO MUCH! Including - in Amanda's case - abusive/unhealthy relationships, bad self image, AND eating disorders. So today we are going to learn about the POWER OF THE BRAIN! Buckle up, cuz it's awesome.

She then discovered Body Positivity on Instagram and started learning as much as she could about Diet Culture and realized that it wasn't a problem with HER, it was a problem with SOCIETY. And that's when she started her instagram account Diet Culture Sucks.

What to do while LYB is on hiatus: Follow LYB on Twitter & Instagram. I will continue to share the self love and body positivity vibes on there. As well as post quotes from previous episodes! Take this time to catch up on some previous episodes. I’ve recorded nearly 81 hours of content and it’s all available for you here. I’ve had some incredible guests this year so I encourage you to check them out. AND because of the courses I’ve taken - the gut health course and the AFAA group fitness certification - I’ve also learned and shared a lot about nutrition, weight, goal setting, and motivation. You can find these episodes easily by scrolling down from where you found this one. 

Hello, Lovers! Today on Love Your Bodd we have an interview with Sara Grey! She's the founder and CEO of WANNABE™, host of Power the Hustle Podcast, and she does so much more. 

We discuss SO MUCH in this episode including Sara growing up an athlete and her different insecurities growing up. We also discuss her TRIUMPHS and how she was a struggling single mom with a newborn who got to law school and became a lawyer. We talk about her decision to ADD to her career and start her own business: WANNABE™. We also talk about what that decision was like for her and how messy it is and I LOVE everything she says when she talks about making it all WORK.

We also talk about FEAR and how fear sometimes makes decisions for us but she gives some great advice about not letting fear decide. And then, one of my favorite things we talk about in this episode, we talk about how the fitness industry is an industry of insecurity and we have a really fascinating discussion on how to bridge the gap between shaming people's bodies because they look a certain way and shaming a person because they want to change their body. 

All this AND MORE, in this inspiring interview with Sara Grey!
