Episode Synopsis

No tips or lessons learned. Today, I will discuss wellness and well-being when running your own business. πŸŒΏπŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

2013 was the year that I broke my knee (March 2013), and a few months later, I took the plane to Cardiff, UK, leaving everyone I loved behind. βœˆοΈπŸ’”

Slowly I recovered and got back into the gym and mostly running (trying to fight depression, but this is another story for another day). πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ

I started running 5K, 10K and two half marathons from 2017 to 2019. πŸ…πŸ‘Ÿ

Until November 2019, I tried bouldering, and I destroyed my meniscus once more. πŸ§—β€β™‚οΈπŸš‘

This injury, combined with parenthood and COVID-19, brought my weight to an all-time high and my fitness and confidence levels to an all-time low. βš–οΈπŸ˜ž

Every time I had to decide between exercising or sitting on the couch, I was always choosing the couch. πŸ›‹οΈπŸš«

Whenever I had to decide between eating a normal portion or binge eating… Well, you can understand what I chose… πŸ”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I have been doing therapy sessions 2-3 times per week for the past five years (trying to get out of depression, remember?) πŸ’¬πŸ›‹οΈ

Last month, I decided that enough is enough and that I must take care of my physical health, too. πŸš€πŸ’ͺ

So, I started to do PT sessions with a fantastic trainer here in Cardiff and I am more mindful of my portions. πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ

And I have already started seeing the benefits of how I am daily. πŸŒŸπŸ“ˆ

So why today’s video? πŸŽ₯❓

I implore you to care for your mental and physical health, whether running your own business or working as an employee. πŸ™β€οΈ

OK, I got it out of my system and can now rest! πŸ›ŒπŸŽ΅

I wrote this text while listening to my favourite Guns N Roses: Outta Get Me! 🎢🎸

Be well, my friends, and see you tomorrow! πŸ‘‹πŸ’•
