PEACE & FOOD:MGFITCOACH

PEACE & FOOD

Il y a 10 ans, je me détestais. Mon corps, mon alimentation, mon reflet dans le miroir… tout était source de frustration et de mal-être. Je pensais que je n’y arriverais jamais, que j’étais condamnée à rester prisonnière de mes propres schémas.Aujourd’hui, j’ai compris une chose essentielle : tout est connecté. Se sentir bien dans son corps, ce n’est pas juste une question d’alimentation ou de sport. C’est aussi un état d’esprit, un équilibre entre le physique et le mental, entre la discipline et le lâcher-prise.🎙️ PEACE & FOOD, c’est la safe place que j’aurais aimé trouver à l’époque où je pensais que le problème, c’était moi. Ici, on parle sans filtres de nutrition, sport, bien-être, mindset, santé mentale et équilibre de vie. Parce qu’avoir une relation saine avec son alimentation, son corps et son esprit, c’est bien plus qu’une question de volonté.📌 Chaque jeudi, on abordera des sujets concrets et sans bullshit :Comment s’entraîner intelligemment pour voir de vrais résultats sans frustration ?Pourquoi l’alimentation émotionnelle n’est pas un problème en soi ?Comment arrêter de se comparer et se mettre une pression inutile ?Comment apprendre à lâcher prise quand on est dans le contrôle permanent ?Et bien d’autres réflexions sur la santé, le bien-être et la performance.Pas de discours culpabilisants, pas de recettes miracles. Juste des conseils réels, applicables et sans filtres pour t’aider à avancer vers une version de toi plus alignée, plus sereine et plus confiante.🧡 PEACE & FOOD, le podcast qui t’aide à trouver l’équilibre entre discipline et bienveillance, entre performance et bien-être… et à enfin te sentir bien dans ton corps ET dans ta tête.Rendez-vous chaque semaine. Prête à évoluer ? 🎧✨ Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Are you a current or returned Peace Corps Volunteer? Are you thinking about joining the Peace Corps? Do you have an adventurous and curious spirit? Peace Corps Revisited is a podcast that explores everything it means to be a Peace Corps Volunteer, leaving familiar life to live and work in a foreign and unfamiliar place. The Peace Corps is a U.S. government-run agency established in 1961 to spread peace and friendship around the world. Approximately 200,000 volunteers have served in 141 countries in the Peace Corps since its inception. During 27 months of service abroad, each volunteer is shaped by their experiences and has a fascinating story to tell. As a returned Peace Corps Volunteer who served in Suriname, South America from 2010-2012, Megan Donohue speaks with volunteers who have served around the world since Peace Corps was first founded. Megan and her guests discuss the incredible highs and the devastating lows that come with service. She discusses the application process and how it has changed in recent years. She talks about successful and not-so-successful projects. She delves into dating and romantic relationships in the Peace Corps. She discusses how the politics of the U.S. and the politics of the host country have shaped service. Amongst many other topics, she also talks about the challenges of assimilating to a volunteer’s new culture, as well as adjusting back to life in the U.S. after returning from service. Megan speaks with volunteers about all that makes Peace Corps the most challenging job you’ll ever love. Whether you’ve served in Peace Corps, are a Peace Corps applicant, or simply have a curious and adventurous spirit, this podcast will appeal to anyone who has a hunger for learning about the various people and cultures that make up our incredible planet.
