Life AFTER Healing & How to Bring It to Life with Guest Holly Baxter: Part 3 (Outweigh)

27m · Outweigh · 05 Aug 07:00

OUTWEIGH: We are back with our final 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). 

 

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….then head in the direction of body-changing and weight loss or whatever goals you have in mind.  But don’t skip over the healing phase. 

 

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”).

 

In this episode of Outweigh, health and fitness expert Holly Baxter is back on the show to to talk about setting goals AFTER your healing journey. She shares the most important things you need to know about making sure your healing journey stays front-of-mind, the mistakes to avoid along the way, and some pivotal advice to take into consideration if you are ready to focus on setting goals again AFTER you’ve healed from your own disorder. 

 

 

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. 

 

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 like that. So if you are in that place in your healing journey, and you’re ready to look at what’s next,  this interview series shares a perspective on how to do just that– while still keeping your mental and emotional health AND your healing journey front and center. 

 

So this is just a bit of a heads up that we are going to be covering some topics that might not have been broached yet on this podcast, but also just reiterating that the purpose is to show you how to view these once-controversial or difficult topics in a beautiful, healthy, and empowering way that ensures that your healing journey stays front and center. That's if or when you are ready. And if you’re not there yet, that is absolutely OK as well, and we simply invite you to tuck this information in your back pocket (or just skip it altogether right now) and just know it’s there when you’re ready.  Because here at Outweigh, we always want you to feel safe to be exactly where you are, and we will always try to meet you there.
