Many researchers believe that there are five core personality traits. The Big Five Aspect Scale is something that Dillon brought up in the last episode of Unfiltered Fitness Radio as a test to gain valuable insight to better understand oneself. In today's episode we go over where I fall on the spectrum of each of the 5 big personality traits. Dillon shares how we can use these results to better ourselves and understand how we interact with the World. What does this have to do with fitness? Well, everything in my opinion. If we lack self awareness, it's going to be really hard to achieve our goals, and even harder perhaps to even form a clear and honest goal.

Won Dolegowski, a business owner, coach, competitor, mom and go getter who found herself last year exhausted, gaining weight despite working out and and dieting; irritable, not sleeping, zero libido, struggling with horrible PMS and poor gut health.....at a health rock bottom - and knew something has to change. Today she shares how she was able to let go of old habits and commit to doing the hard things, working with a coach and trusting the process that she knew were necessary to heal her body from years of being . It's not easy to pause, to stop the grind, to focus on slowing down, maybe exercising less, sleeping more, eating more or eating differently, setting boundaries, lowering stress, gaining weight for your health etc. Won is an amazing role model for anyone going through this journey, showing that the process does work- if you work it.

As a nutrition & training coach, I definitely work on mindset, behavior modification & stress management with my clients. It's a crucial part of their overall wellbeing and success. But, I know what is inside my scope of practice and what is not. I can work with someone who has mild mood struggles, some motivation/discipline issues, mild overeating/binge tendencies, or needs to work on their relationship with food. If binge episodes become recurrent, I see signs of anorexia, purging, major depressive thoughts, crippling anxieties, major life stressors etc. I am not qualified to “coach” them through this. That's where a good therapist comes into play, and there is no shame in talking to an expert in psychologyI've been going to therapy for 10 years now, and I wish every one in the world could have a therapist on call that they could call to at any time. You don't have to "have something" to go see a therapist. We all could benefit from talking things through with an objective third party trained in psychology- aka a therapist. My goal with today's episode is to take some of the stigma out of going to see a therapist and share tools I learned from therapy that can benefit you in your fitness journey and beyond.In part 2 of this episode I give some inside scoop about what goes in inside an inpatient eating disorder treatment center. Nicole Ferrier interviewed me to find out if treatment centers are like the movies portray them to be.
