Ep. 11: [The Nook] Life is More Than "Just OK" with Strength Specialist, Holly Perkins

DESCRIPTION

As women it can be easy to get caught up in the pressures of life and what we “should” be doing based on what society models to us. 

We “should” be married and have kids by a certain age. We “should” look a certain way. We “should” be able to do it all and still look good while doing it. We “should” be a good mom, good wife, good friend and good daughter. We “should’ be OK with how things are….

Today’s guest is Strength and Conditioning Specialist Holly Perkins and in our conversation we push the edge on what it means to be a woman, and that life is more than what most consider to be “just OK.”   Life is about celebration no matter where we are.

Holly has spent years discovering ways to make fitness more accessible and enjoyable for women, as she seeks to dismantle the perception that life is over when you turn 40, especially if you’re not married with children.

We also dive into ways of eating to support your system including the “evil” potato, and how she has helped many of her clients heal eating disorders through proper nutrition. Holly shares how physical strength will  positively influence your spiritual health, and puts you more in tune with yourself.

It gets seriously juicy when we talk about the issue of burnout and the belief that we need to push through and what that means for women in their day to day life. I know you will love her reframe on this concept for a more accessible perspective on wellness.

We get into some powerful and doable strategies on how you can build healthy habits into your daily routine so health and fitness feel easy again.
