My guest today is Molly McGuire. As an Integrative Health Coach, through her practice Feel Food With Molly, she advocates for a simple and straightforward approach to holistic health, believing in the inherent potential for everyone to feel good in their bodies.

But Molly’s personal journey into the health and wellness space is a powerful one, that reminder her sometimes we need to keep it simple, and step into our wellness in baby steps, without the final destination being clear.

What would it look like to inspire yourself?

Are you comparing your body to your friends? How about a stranger? How about an edited photo of someone that isn't even real on the internet?

Is your self of self-worth attached to your workouts, or how "clean" you ate?

These are some of the questions we explore today. I hope you get something from the conversation.
