Welcome to the Eight Pillars Podcast! My name is Kate Bilodeau and here we discuss a variety of topics that relate to my Eight Pillars of Wellness: Positive Mindsets, Supportive Relationships, Exercise & Healthy Eating, Gratitude & Reflection, Rest/Self-care/Pleasure, Discipline, Time Spent Alone, and a Balanced Relationship with Technology. I share my personal experiences and tips that have helped me with each of the Eight Pillars and so much more. I also touch on spirituality & manifesting and teach you how to incorporate them into your life to move closer to the highest version of yourself.
