HER EMPOWERED DIVORCE

HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach

GUEST: Leslie Urbas, Registered Dietician and Personal Trainer

SUMMARY:

The research is clear: Divorce can take a very real toll on our mental and physical health. But we don’t have to let it! Our guest on this episode of Her Empowered Divorce is offering up tools to fight back against everything from depression to weight gain to high blood pressure. Leslie Urbas, a registered dietician and personal trainer, brings to life both the art and science behind holistic wellness. She shares with Host Beverly Price the foundational elements of her four key pillars of health (nutrition, clean food energy, neuroscience and energy mastery) and offers some great practical tips to deploy when things feel overwhelming. You’ll come away with new insights into what you’re ingesting and how it’s impacting your performance; how to introduce body awareness and other techniques; and why it’s so important to stay mindful, grounded in the present moment and connected to others as we navigate challenging passages in life. Divorce, of course, being among the most challenging! This discussion will leave you with great resources to tap in order to protect your health, generate energy and foster calm through even the toughest moments – and on your way to brighter days!

NOTABLE QUOTES:

· “There is such an implication of poor health for women in the divorce process – before, during and after.” (Beverly)

· “Self-care tends to be such an over-used word, yet so absolutely important because when women get into the divorce process, overwhelm is the absolute total experience.” (Beverly)

· “Most women in a divorce phase or doing things alone have a schedule … but when we get overwhelmed is when we know we should have said ‘no’ but didn’t.” (Leslie)

· “Our life source is water. It’s not food … So if you’re continually hydrating yourself and bringing yourself back to water, that’s helpful.” (Leslie)

· “Look for companionship in something that is not potentially going to lead to more so that you can just have good, solid relationships.” (Leslie)

· “I hear birds more often than I hear other things. I know how to slow down and be present. I know how to stay in the moment instead of in the worry or doubt or fear.” (Leslie)

· “Moving from pain and shame is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself and a divorce coach can help!” (Beverly)
