Wanna have a giggle fest this week while getting deep in some topics about perfectionism, comparing yourself to others, weight-loss, and sexuality? That's exactly what Heather and Brian do in this week's episode of Love Your Bodd.
Brian is a fighter. He masks his imperfections by finding something to excel at. He's also really good at the comparison game and has recently come to some revelations about how to overcome these feelings. He gives some great advice on finding self worth and being THE BEST YOU. Which is his life mission for himself as well as in his acting and coaching businesses. He is constantly looking for ways to grow and become the best version of himself. His passion is helping others do the same which is why he was a perfect candidate to interview.
"Wherever you are, don't give up" - Brian James.
He brings up a lot in this episode on self-help so here are some links to his mentions.
A book that really helped Brian discover that he CAN and SHOULD fail is Failing Forward by John C. Maxwell. Here's a link. It's also available on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!!! But it's not easy. Growing up, it can be hard to make friends, especially if you spend some time moving and changing schools. Find your tribe. Find the people who make you happy. Like the people who like YOU!
Trying to fit it and conform to what is "cool" or what the media shows us is "right" will lead to very shallow friendships and loneliness. Embrace who you are and what you want in your relationships and the right people will find you. But that doesn't mean it's not hard work.
In this Episode, Heather talks with Grace about making friends, fleeting friendships, and cultivating life-long friends. How do you know who is meant to be in your life? Who puts in the work? Who lifts you up and balances you out? It's all about the two-way communication. You've got to be willing to have those hard talks if it comes down to it.

In this Love Your Bodd Episode, Heather opens up about taking risks and fear of rejection. It's hard to take those big leaps of faith into the unknown but LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, PEOPLE!
That's what this episode is all about. The possibility that you might fail. Coming out the other side a more confident person. Taking the risks that allow you to live your life to the fullest.
It's so easy to live in comfort. I like my boring job. I like my mediocre partner. I'm okay with the amount of money I make. But wouldn't it be so much more exciting if we were doing something we LOVED. Something we LIVED FOR?! And ASKED for what we know we DESERVE?
You deserve a better life. Time to take more risks!!

Love Your Bodd received it's first letter from a STRANGER! In the intro, Heather explains why this meant so much to her. SELF DOUBT IS SO REAL, Y'ALL.
This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather interviews a chika with a very similar story to her own. Sabrina opens up about her weight fluctuation, depression, and turning to food for comfort. Food is still a struggle for her but that doesn't mean she's not healthy!
Another important topic Sabrina opens up about is how you can become obsessed with "being healthy." Working out TOO MUCH. Eating the same strict meals day in and day out. She encourages people to shop around and find what works for them and to make it FUN and not a chore. And to not torture yourself and your body by obsessively working out. She had her wake up call though, which you will hear about.
