Introduction
Season 1 Episode 1
Introduction to Why Weight, and why building this community is important to me. I've struggled with weight my entire life, and have tried everything to develop a healthy relationship with my body. This podcast explores the journey, failures as well as successes. I'll be talking about my own experiences, as well as with experts in the field about how to attain the most healthy and balanced relationship with your weight and body. I know the pain and discomfort of hoping for someday- someday losing the weight, someday being able to participate fully in life, someday being able to love myself fully. If you're interested in booking a free consultation, please visit www.sierrapodva.com, and book online. You can also purchase and download meditations for sleep, anxiety, abundance, and balance at www.sierrapodva.com/shop.
