podcast – Iris Ruth Pastor

The Preserving Your Bloom podcast centers on finding the wisdom to use our own personal talents and resources to be the best we can be. We can live up to our potential without driving ourselves to the point of exhaustion. We can actually have the fun our friends on Facebook seem to be effortlessly and often experiencing. We can find the time to take a cooking lesson and stick to an exercise routine. We can overcome feeling irrelevant and unimportant in our adult children’s lives. We can learn how to self soothe, self-care and self-fulfill. In short, the secret to living the life we crave is there for all of us. <br /> <br /> Preserving Your Bloom focuses on six areas of enhancement: self-care, leisure, relationships, communication, growth and spirituality. But we add an intriguing twist: we even talk about what you don’t talk about with your best friends. You know, those sticky topics that embarrass you or shame you or mystify you. We talk about all the myriad of things that intrusively pop into your brain gnawing away at your happiness and peace of mind. And through our conversations with our guests – experts and non-experts - we begin to find the answers to the quality of life we seek.<br /> <br /> The Preserving Your Bloom podcast is hosted by Iris Ruth Pastor – author, blogger, speaker. Her newest book, The Secret Life of a Weight-Obsessed Woman: Wisdom to Live the Life You Crave, which shares Iris's story of ripping down the facade of her "perfect" life and taking steps to break free of her lover ED (Eating Disorder). If you are grappling with anything that prevents you from operating at full throttle, Iris's bluntly honest, humorous, and inspirational story reminds us all that recovery is within our reach.
