Listen now | Body Luxury is enjoyable wellness, at last.It’s where vitality, womanhood and God merge.It’s a lifestyle club for the long time seekers and information sponges and the place where you can breathe out, hallelujah!
This resonates on several levels. As a grandnmother of a 5, 4 yr old, 8-month, and 10-day old, I am experiencing a different perspective from when I was a mother of three under three years old. Also, I was talking to my physician about how serious I am about what I put in my body and she asked why, and I told her that the human body is a miraculous gift and I see so many people abusing it and I feel it is disrespectful, so I try to honour this gift. It's not about looking like what society says I should as a women, it's that how I look is a byproduct of respecting the gift of the human body, the one vehicle I was given to experience this amazing Earth. Body luxury is all about that. The overthinking has been crippling at so many stages especially with art forms for me. But I know it comes from having to get it right, perfect, which comes from self worth as a little girl and not mattering enough, so endlessly revisiting things to get it right the next time. It's exhausting. I too, am trying just to write, paint, etc. without thinking. Julia Cameron's "Morning Pages" have been so very helpful in this way, hugely because I place no expectations on these raw morning brain dumps. Many poems emerge from them, and I feel so unblocked, it is heavenly not to feel mired in thought.
Really resonate with the ‘life giving’ focus! I even wrote about it in my first substack post yesterday 😂 your timing is impeccable, God’s timing is impeccable! And I love listening to your soft voice. ❤️ would love to know what bible you are reading from if you don’t mind sharing? X
Just read "Let this free you - its not always diet culture" again, which i have done as a ritual before lent since you wrote those beautiful words in that entry. And now this audio. Powerful.
I really loved that. Thank you. I’m excited about the decoration of that room!! Could you show before and after photos? PETA, I’ve followed you for ever since I saw your keynote and you spoke to my soul. Your money letter activity changed my life.
Thank you for sharing your story Peta… so relatable and validating that I’m not alone… Ecclesiastes, overthinking, doing the work, self help world, life giving fun … all of it. You speak to my soul 🙏🏼❤️
I enjoyed listening to you this morning PK during my devotion time and over a frothy latte! I loved the part you said about not underestimating things because they don’t seem as serious. As a clinical psychologist, I’m big on nourishing the happy child mode in all of us - regardless of age! Loved the bible verse too x
Thank you Peta. Not just another podcast. You sharing your life experience is certainly life giving for me as a woman, a mother, sitting on the beach, taking some time to breathe.
I too have degree in exercise science, then NW biz in wellness, now epigenetics health coaching (on mat leave), long time wellness guru, owner of a cafe with my husband and walking a faith journey - so can I say how refreshing and resonate it is to hear your words. Excited for this further conversation xx
And, yes, can confirm that other women find topics like this quite “frothy” ✨🫶🏼😌👏🏼 thanks, Peta!
