Life AFTER Healing & Re-Defining What ‘Health’ Looks Like In Real Life with Guest Holly Baxter: Part 1 (Outweigh)

<p>OUTWEIGH: We are back with another follow-up to a topic that Amy and Leanne talked about a few weeks ago: How to have BOTH: a healthy relationship with food and your body AND begin to work towards the goals that are important to you (aka getting stronger, fitter, etc). </p> <p>In that episode, Amy and Leanne explained that you absolutely can go set goals for yourself, but they invite you to take a sabbatical from typical goal-setting and “go-getting” and go heal your relationship with food and your body FIRST and rewire your brain….and then with THAT new brain and that NEW relationship with food and your body….<strong>then</strong> head in the direction of body-changing and weight loss, or whatever goals you have in mind. But <strong>don’t</strong> skip over the healing phase. </p> <p> </p> <p>That being said, it’s also important to talk about HOW to do just that… and what that actually looks like practically (including the “why behind the what”).</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne invites her mentor, friend, and health and fitness expert Holly Baxter on the show to share a bit about redefining health on your own terms. She shares her own testimony, battle with eating disorders and body shame, and talks about how it’s shaped the way she coaches female clients – especially those that are on the road to healing. </p> <p> </p> <p>CONTENT WARNING: Here at Outweigh we want to be sensitive to the fact that some of this subject matter might be a little bit confrontational for some of you on your healing journey, but we didn’t want to just NOT talk about it, or avoid these important subjects altogether. Because, wherever you are on your healing journey, at some point in time, you might be ready for whatever YOUR next step is, and that might include goal setting or focusing on new outcomes. </p> <p> </p> <p>And most of what’s out there in the modern day world to meet you in those goals is a surefire way to bring you back down the road of toxicity and disorder, and we didn’t want to leave you hanging li
