7 Mental Barriers to a Healthy Lifestyle

ANNCATHERINE & CAROLINE
About this episode

Healthy habits and the choices we make every day are more mental than they are physical. We know how hard it can be to take action when you feel unmotivated, to have fun when you feel bad about your body, or to "enjoy the journey" when your goals feel so far away. In this episode, we're breaking down the 7 biggest reasons WHY so that you can start to do it all with nothing stopping you :)
