Summary

Welcome Minna Lee! This Jill of all trades has called New York home for 12 years now (a true New Yorker if you will) and is a new mom to her corgi puppy, Benny. Minna grew up as a competitive figure skater which ultimately led to her eating disorder and body image issues that later sparked her interest in psychology and therapy. Join us this week as we talk about the importance of incorporating activism into everyday life, working out at home, redefining personal satisfaction, how to set boundaries early on in a new friendship, and how to navigate decisions with your partner about whether or not you want to have kids.
