Summary

Hey lady! You’re in for a treat with this week’s episode. Yvette Nicole Brown stops by the Cultivating H.E.R. Space podcast to have some fun girl talk with Dr. Dom and Terri. Yvette brings her warm personality and positive energy to discuss an initiative that is dear to her heart – It’s Bigger Than Me. The movement helps shine a light on obesity and addresses some myths about obesity, primarily that it is a disease and nothing to be ashamed of even though feelings of shame are normal and understandable. Yvette offers her unique perspective on being in the spotlight through her decades-long career in the entertainment industry. If you struggle with your weight or love someone who does then tune in so you can add ways to be kinder to yourself into your toolkit. It’s all about perspective and hopefully, this conversation brightens yours.

Quote of the Day:
“The truth is, navigating obesity and our health can come with moments of success and setbacks. So, we must be prepared to push through those moments when our internal voice tells us to give up.”
- Yvette Nicole Brown
