This week on Raising Serotonin, I’m talking about why strength not “perfection” should be your focus. As I step into year six of the podcast, I reflect on my journey of growth, facing fear, and learning to embrace change.
I share my story of moving from a place of misery to one of resilience, and why taking ownership of your life is so powerful. I also tackle the harmful trends around body image, like the “Pilates body,” and remind you that wellness isn’t about fitting a mold, it’s about becoming stronger mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
In this episode, I cover:
- How fear of the unknown can hold you back, and how to move past it
- The 1% rule: getting stronger every single day
- Choosing one area of strength to focus on for long-term growth
- Why chasing a “perfect” body is harmful
- Caring for your body as your temple
If you’ve ever felt stuck, insecure, or pressured by body standards, this episode is for you. My message: stop comparing, start strengthening, and honor the body and life you’ve been given.
Let’s finish 2025 stronger than ever, not smaller, not perfect, but powerful in every way that matters.
