Hello and welcome back to the Embrace Row Podcast. Today we're talking about why

having a perfect body is not what you think. If you could see the amount of

direct messages and emails that I get on a weekly basis,

everyone thinks they want the quote perfect body. Like if I could only achieve X Y and Z,

then I'll be X Y and Z. They think once they get there, they will finally

be more beautiful, they'll finally be more liked or more valued, they think that they'll finally

feel happier, more confident and more worthy. They think that they'll finally feel happier, more confident, and more worthy.

They think their entire world will flip upside down for the better if they're just

able to build this quote perfect body. Well in today's episode I want to talk about why this

couldn't be further from the truth. If you know my journey you know that I was

previously a fitness competitor and actually won my pro card. Now I don't say that to say

wow me I say that because I did have this quote perfect body I had very very

lean body physique with shredded abs, and I was, quote what so many people think as perfect.

And in today's episode, I want to speak 100% from my experience, and I hope that my experience will show you that this perfect physique is not all that it's cracked up to be.

Before I dive in, I want to share the super sweet review of the day.
