Shownotes Transcript

It was such an honor and pleasure interviewing Mikala McClain! She’s a mother, a wife, a nurse, and an entrepreneur. She has such a fascinating story, and a TON of great learnings and teachings I KNOW you’re gonna love. Mikala lost her mother early at age 11. This led to a desire for “self control” which translated into figure competitions and some body dysmorphia. Mikala learned that trying to control the external without working on the internal was almost futile; that set her on a path to learn therapies that could help her feel whole again.   Things we discuss:   • the loss of her mother and recent loss of her father and how that impacted her image of herself.   • her disillusionment from being a nurse.  learning to notice why you feel a certain way, where it comes from.   • more is not better, esp with fitness.  skimpy is not good, esp with nutrition. • your why behind your health habits is important.   • polyvagal theory and the states of the nervous system. • and so much more!   Transcend Retreat information and application: https://astraholistica.com/the-retreat/) Use code "SHT" to receive $200 off     Deb Dana - Beginners Guide and Meditations: https://www.rhythmofregulation.com/resources)   Audio recommendation: Befriending Your Nervous System: https://amzn.to/3euPpNs)   Mikala's calendar link: https://go.oncehub.com/meet-mikala)
