Nicola Mercer: Finding A Healthy Balance

Nicola Mercer: Finding A Healthy Balance

In this episode of This Fat Girl Life, I am joined by Nicola Mercer.  We are going to be discussing the importance of finding a healthy balance.  

All too often, we are playing a juggling game.  Between our home life, our work life, our families, and everything else we have going on...it can sometimes seem like we are performing a circus act.  And often times we drop the ball....which for a lot of us gives us a sense of worthlessness....if even just in that moment.  

What if you could find a way to balance everything?  Balance between work and relaxation and food and everything else you have going on?  Well, that's what we will be exploring today.  

So...sit back, grab something to drink, and listen in!
