Welcome to Balance and Moderation… A Wellness podcast, with some personality… Big love is the motto and our message is for everyone, so don’t forget to share this with all the beautiful people in your life. Enjoy! Intuitive eating and listening to your body is a common theme on the podcast, but there are times when this can steer us astray. Without goal setting, boundaries, and overall discipline, living an intuitive life can lead to self-destruction. Going along with the show's core theme, it is essential to find balance and moderation in the healthy side of things too. Fostering a relationship with our mind and body to give ourselves what we need is essential for living a whole life. Still, we must be conscious of our ego's need to take over.  "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
