Journalist, mental health advocate and Miss Wisconsin USA, Gabriella Deyi, shares all of the "dips and curves" along her path from scientist to titleholder, and the challenging journey that led her to a strong relationship with nutrition and body image. She explains how there is no beauty without purpose behind it and the importance of competing in pageants with healthy practices, confidence and integrity. She discusses the pitfalls of focusing on external beauty and how under-eating and over-exercising isn't the path to happiness or fulfillment. Gabby talks directly to parents and young adults about what's truly important (hint: not what we see on social media) and how finding her "why" helped her turn passion into purpose, as well as offering young people action steps to understanding their true worth in a discussion that dives into nutrition, as much as food insecurity, race and empowerment. Sean Karen and McKenna discuss the importance of community and the impact of change which, for them, starts with respect and understanding. www.thehippodcast.com Resources and Guest Favorites HEALTH: IT'S PERSONAL SHOWNOTES: https://www.thehippodcast.com/nutrition-series-gabriella-deyi HEALTH: IT'S PERSONAL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thehippodcast/ HEALTH: IT'S PERSONAL FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthitspersonal LOVE the work we are doing?
