Vani Hari, aka @thefoodbabe, is one of Melissa’s absolute favorite IG accounts to follow. Vani's mission is centered around revealing the truth around harmful ingredients that major companies are putting in our food - prepare to be shocked. Vani shares her story with Melissa - how she and her family ate a ton of processed foods, which in turn caused her to have some serious health issues and then ultimately became a major turning point in her life from which her interest in healthy food was born. They also chat about where the name “Food Babe” came from and how she started her company, Truvani. Also, tune in to hear about the healthy lifestyle habits that open up more time for Vani to focus on her passions. Go to arrae.com and use code ‘movewithheart’ at checkout for 15% off of one time purchases or 25% off first month on subscription Sign up now for a 7 day free trial at melissawoodhealth.comLimited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE.Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, founder of MWH and host of the Move With Heart Podcast, is a meditation teacher, certified yoga and pilates instructor, certified health coach, and beloved by the diverse community she’s cultivated through her unique approach to fitness and mindfulness over the years.

In this episode, Melissa goes deep on how people pleasing impacts the way a lot of us live our lives, and how to pivot that focus back to ourselves and our priorities. Melissa identifies some tangible ways for us to recognize this behavior so that we can empower ourselves to take control of our own lives, because how we choose to spend our time really is up to us. For Melissa, this all starts with a morning practice that includes gratitude and grounding. This episode encourages all of us to listen to what’s coming up, strengthen our intuition, and trust our gut when it tells us who is elevating our lives and who we should distance ourselves from. Melissa shares tips to ending people pleasing including how to prevent people from having constant access to you, creating healthy boundaries with the people in your life, and most importantly, learning to love time alone with yourself. Meditations Mentioned: 6 Min Meditation: To Center, 7 Min Meditation to Ground Before You Go, 6 Min Meditation: Breathwork When You Need a Min, click here for the full meditation category on MWH with both Erika and Yasmines meditations as well!Visit Seed.com/MWH and use code MWH20 to redeem 20% off your first month of Seed’s DS-01™ Daily Synbiotic or PDS-08™ Pediatric Daily Synbiotic.Sign up now for a 7 day free trial at melissawoodhealth.comLimited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE.Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, founder of MWH and host of the Move With Heart Podcast, is a meditation teacher, certified yoga and pilates instructor, certified health coach, and beloved by the diverse community she’s cultivated through her unique approach to fitness and mindfulness over the years.
