This one was tough but I'm not one to shy away from hard topics of conversation. Ela and I spend our lives swimming upstream, and going against the grain in terms of our work with clients and the content we share with you.

This is a raw one. As soon as mum passed away, body image dissatisfaction peaked in me. Although it seemed so frivolous given everything we as a family had gone through, I understand now that it's my brain's way of coping. It's a familiar coping strategy; a place where I can put my attention as everything else is just too much.

We chatted about why these thoughts resurface and are often exacerbated when we go through hard times and we both really hope it resonates with some of you, who have gone through such tough times of late or are currently struggling. You are not alone.

Here are some resources that have been really helpful to me at this time of grief.
