#172: It’s Ok For Me to Be Me with Brittney Carbone

Today we are speaking with Healthy Lifestyle Expert, coach, and motivational speaker Brittney Carbone.  Brittney is a healthy lifestyle expert, coach, and motivational speaker. Her mission is to inspire non-negotiable, self-care, and to push people to their highest potential. She urges everyone to place their health and wellness at the top of their priority list and give themselves the opportunity to experience each day with a clear mind and fit body. Brittney spent 8+ years in the corporate business world as a producer prior to pursuing a career in wellness. She experienced first-hand how the conventional way of life takes a toll mentally, physically, and spiritually. Being a lifelong athlete, Brittney was aware of her health but gained more than 65 pounds in a year while traveling nonstop for work. It was then, hitting rock bottom with her body, she made the ultimate commitment to up-level up her life. Through Brittney’s darkness, she found light. On her journey from plus-sized to professional fitness model, she obtained her personal training and nutrition certificate and found a passion for coaching others to do the same.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. We can change our circumstances at any time when we actually own and face where we are at first. Avoiding it will never change anything.
2. Facing our challenges doesn’t mean we are broken; we are never broken. It is simply an acceptance of where we are right now and that is our new starting point.
3. Filling the “hole” required connecting to a higher power, spiritual power, or something higher than herself. This filled a hole that she had been seeking.
4. Addiction rents space in your mind and stops us from feeling. Some people “feel” more than others especially when we don’t have the tools to differentiate from our own or the tools for knowing how to process other’s feelings. This is where boundaries are so important to put into place.
5. When 2020 changes came to a halt, it is important to find a way to do what your mind and body need in order to process the emotions of the year. It is learning to focus one day and one action at a time. Also, remember to mute or unfollow anything that doesn’t serve you and the direction you want to move toward.
6. All things non-negotiable self-care and how to make sure these things are part of our everyday life.
