Scorned In Silence, Suffering On the Scale w/ Kendra Wyatt

Coming off the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought it would be the perfect time to level set our relationship with ourselves and our bodies.  Although, the holidays are generally a time of family, fun, and lots of food, we recognize that our health can take a hit in the process.  Or, sometimes we learn our relationships with ourselves and others were affecting our health all along.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kendra Wyatt, in The Oasis Space, where she explained why she is the Master Motivator and Wellness Coach, and how her personal story of scorned relationships led to weight fluctuations that fueled her motivation to empower other women to embrace their bodies no matter what shape or size.   We also discussed the following:

- How to Identify Patterns that Cause Weight Fluctuations
- Getting Past Societal Standards of Physical Trainers
- Emotional Eating and Transforming Your Relationship with Food
- Questions to Ask Yourself When Prioritizing Your Health

Key Quotables/Takeaways

"I had to do a lot of self assessing on who i am, what i want, who I'm called to be and why do I feel I need validation from a relationship when it was all right here in me." - Kendra Wyatt

"Seeking that love from someone else, feeling like that would make me feel a certain way; but I realized I'm all I need." - Kendra Wyatt

"The game changer is that I'm not going to let you prematurely die. It's deeper than some cardio, it's spiritually and mentally dying and I'm not gonna let that happen." - Kendra Wyatt

"Trainers will school you on all the things but never tap into how did we even get here and how are we going to make sure you never go through this cycle again?" - Patrice Grimes
