How Your Food is Affecting Your Mood - A Guide to Improve Your Mood, Energy and Focus Through Your Meals

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0c9b8b12-dd6d-4287-ac64-b1b6006a9e35/transcript

How much help is too much?

This question hits close to home for many of us. We all want to be there for our friends and family, but there comes a point where we need to step back. 

Offering too much help can end up making them dependent on us, preventing them from learning to stand on their own. 

It's all about finding that middle ground – being supportive without taking away their chance to learn and grow independently.

Today, let's explore the idea of figuring out when our help might be excessive, and whether it's causing any negative impacts on us or the person we're assisting. We've all been in situations where we give a lot without receiving the same in return. To handle this, we need to understand what genuine support truly means. 

Always remember that there are times when you don't have to be the hero for everyone. Sometimes, it's important to take care of yourself first before reaching out to help others.


What We Discuss:
00:00 Intro 
00:29 The Savior Complex
06:49 How do you know if you’re helping someone too much?
13:54 Are you helping them get better or make themselves feel better?
16:07 What you want for someone is not necessarily what they want
18:57 Are you invited to help?
21:18 Pathological altruism
26:38 What if helping is harming you?
30:00 True support

Strong is the new beautiful, but how can women truly embrace their power?

Today, I welcome Louise Hazel, a heptathlete and fitness professional. She gained recognition for her athletic achievements, including competing in the heptathlon, which consists of seven track and field events. 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Lou and I cover many topics, from why lifting weights is way more than just a workout to busting myths about strength training. But that's not all! We also talked about how our bodies have their own seasons, and why it's a good thing to really listen to them. 

Ever wondered what to eat before and after hitting the gym? We talked about that too! We also shared our experience of surrounding ourselves with a supportive community for growth. 

Lastly, we shared a candid conversation about dealing with tough times and finding strength in letting go. So, grab a cozy spot, maybe a cup of tea, and join me and Louise for a chat that's as heartwarming as a good friend's hug.

What We Discuss:
00:00 Intro
01:13 Strength training for women
03:53 The biggest misconception in weight training
06:21 Aesthetics is not athletics
10:58 What it takes to achieve your body goal
19:02 Macronutrients
22:12 Building muscle while losing weight
24:27 What to do if you can’t afford personal trainers?
28:45 Our bodies cycle through seasons
30:28 Listen to your body 
32:12 Pre and post-workout meal
40:48 Body positivity
