67: Katrina Leggins (@knicolewriting), Mental Health Therapist and Social Worker

On this episode, Katrina (@knicolewriting) and I discuss the detriment of setting unrealistic expectations for consumers via the highlight reel that is social media. We also talk about how self care doesn’t need to be a luxury experience, and ways we can practice self care on our own for free. We dive into setting boundaries with friends, family, and followers and the importance of feeling fulfilled in our relationships with others.

Follow Up Q&A:

  1. First thing you do in the morning? I sit in silence 5-10 mins, set my intentions/goals for the day, then I check my e-mails and text messages. 

  2. What advice would you give your younger self? You're going to make mistakes and fail at some things. Don't let them define you, instead remember those times prepare you for something greater. 

  3. Wellness trend you love and wellness trend you wish would end? I'm loving the hip-hop workout dance classes! I absolutely dislike seeing all of these flat tummy tea's targeting instant weight loss!
