Episode 230: A Psychotherapist Bares it All - Body Image, Alcohol, and The One Thing That Can Heal It with Jane Ballard

Euphoric the Podcast

Karolina is sitting down with the incredible psychotherapist Jane Ballard to uncover your burning questions around purpose, body image, mental health, and the ripple effect of alcohol on our lives.

These are the top challenges women face every single day behind closed doors.

But having purpose can be our lifeline and quite literally extend our lives, while adding depths of fulfillment and happiness.

We’ll dig into ALL the practical strategies for cultivating mindfulness, and why you don’t actually need to do 2 hours of spiritual practices a day to get there!

Plus, we’ll cover Jane’s philosophy around self-compassion when it comes to our body image, and how to go from craving “fun foods” to a lifestyle of intuitive eating.

If you’ve been questioning your habits, Jane offers some of the BEST reframes on mindfulness.

Jane allows us to challenge ourselves to cultivate kindness and truly "remember to remember" the preciousness of our one beautiful life, so we can extract meaning and joy from every corner.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• How to tap into your inner reservoir of calm with practical rituals like meditation and yoga
