    It's unbelievable hearing her story with an eating disorder because it's so alike my own. It was also my Italian boyfriend who helped me overcome it. I had been extremely picky since I was a child and was guilt tripped and teased for it. My relationship with food became tremendously difficult as I came to associate it with failure, shame and self loathing. But seeing the way Italians celebrate food, take such good care as they prepare their meals and enjoy them so wholeheartedly was so healing for me. For the first time in my life food was simple, it was safe. I've since learned to cook and that boyfriend is now my husband. Together we prepare meals with our children and try our hardest to help them relate to food in a positive way. I'm happy to say that today food nourishes my soul and makes me happy ❤

    This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

    Hi Steve. So much of what Lucy said resonated with me. I believe it's times of adversity that we find our greatest strength. Bruce Lee once said. Someone will always be younger than you. Someone will always be prettier than you. Nobody can actually be you. The point being everything starts with you.. This is what Lucy articulated so perfectly during this podcast. To solve a problem you first have to acknowledge that you have one. We all are products of our environment and our life experiences make us the person we are today. Good or bad . With addiction I think its like when we cut our finger we put a plaster on it to stem the bleeding put we don't treat the cut it self which is the root cause of the problem .it a joy to listen to this espoide. Lucy is self a aware and has a great perspective I wish for her everything she wishes for herself..God bless.

I could be in a deep conversation, listening and responding-yet I’m just uncomfortable and thinking about food, my body, weight etc. I’ve always wanted to know how she got through it all…bc I have a very addictive personality as well.
    I’m 35 and still deep in my own eating disorder from age 16. I have 2 dwi’s and drank-blackout-repeat. Honestly, the only reason I don’t drink as much now is bc of my low weight, and hangovers last 3 days. I’m beyond ready for this ED to be tamed-gone what have you and I still don’t see how it’s possible for recovery-yet I’ve worked so hard on my demons…so what is holding me back?

Does anyone else see ADHD symptoms coming out in this - the not being able to remember childhood memories, addictions (eating, alcohol, relationships) and able to be open and "overshare"?

      I definitely see ADHD symptoms in Lucy she also said that her brain never shuts off which is another ADHD symptom.

      I was thinking that too but what really made me think that she could be neurodivergent is taht she alway felt different. My whole life I’ve felt that way and ik it. It’s because my brain works differently than ithers

    I've been a fan of Lucy Hale since the very first episode of PLL like a lot of people. There was something about her that stood out among the others. They were all good but there was something so mysterious about her and to know she was actually struggling while also having the time of her life just goes to show that you can have everything in the world and life still not be perfect. I'm glad she's doing better and finding her true self. 💙

Her words are relatable & honest, I learned a lot from this video that I can add into my life.. we have to take a look in the mirror as to why were are masking our emotions. I’m still struggling w/ that.. but I have so much respect for Lucy & her healing journey 🫶🏾

This is the 1st podcast of yours Ive found and I dont think I am leaving anytime soon.:)

    What an incredible brave young woman to not only go through such an amazing journey of self discovery but to be able to articulate it so genuinely is so inspirational.
    And to Steve, I love the safe space you provide to enable your guests to open up without judgement or being rushed through conversations. You acknowledge their presence, their thoughts and allow them to express themselves and you sit with them in those moments of self reflection.
    In general I don't like social media as it can be a very negative place, but this channel is definately proof that sharing within a safe community can be such a positive empowering experience.
    Well done Steve.

  • @AA-iy4gm
    @AA-iy4gm Рік тому +11

    I understand trying to be respectful to parents but it's not okay to downplay what even psychologists clearly outline as negative impacts on a child when they have an unstable home (divorced or toxic parents and similar). Let parents own up to it if they want but let's not sugarcoat it. Any therapist will tell you that eating disorders and addictions typically develop as a result of an unstable childhood, it's not about playing a victim. People should put effort into healing that's true but for some it's not as easy or accessible as others.
    Too many people have kids without a good base in terms of being financially and emotionally stable, and then they just wing it and hope the kid will forget about the messy parenting because they're "just kids".

    Hearing someone I have grown up admiring open up about alcohol is so important and necessary. It helps for people to hear so thank you, Lucy so much. I am fighting it everyday and still struggling to defeat it. Everyday waking up saying "today is the day, I'm confident" and then you just instinctually go to the liquor store and cry the entire way. Even when you want to be rid of it, it feels like you can't. Praying for everyone else that is fighting it.

    I’m only 15 minutes in but I adore her so much. I relate to her feelings and thoughts as a kid, feeling things deeply, taking on the responsibility of others feelings, being very empathic, and growing up feeling like where she was wasn’t where she belonged, always in her head, and the reason she was attracted to acting. I’m almost 32 and still feeling like there has to be more to life, I still feel like I don’t know where I belong, not really having friends or having a hard time making them, really valuing my solitude but wishing I could be more outgoing because there’s a love for acting because it allows you to be more of the ways you’re too scared to show others. I feel like so many people experience this, and everyone always thinks it’s just them. This is already really powerful and beautiful. I’m so glad she decided to do this and be so vulnerable. Love the calmness and that you allow her to speak fully without interrupting. 🥹

    I feel like we can all relate to this on a universal level. Especially when she said she was a solitary person who was introverted and "on the outside looking in" so many celebrities seem like they are the complete opposite, so relatable.

  • @SuccubusSahara
    @SuccubusSahara Рік тому +25

    Not even a third of the way through this, but it is so relatable in many ways. Whenever celebrities come out to open up about their own life experiences and traumas they are helping SO many young girls and women who look up to them and see them as the ideal of “perfection.” Being able to be transparent and sit in front of a camera, exposing your raw, authentic self, knowing that what you are going to say is going to hold so much power and responsibility is such a beautiful thing. Being transparent about how they have felt growing up in the public eye, being an icon and a prototype of what beauty can mean in Hollywood and to all us outsiders looking in. Thank you for opening up to us, Lucy. Also gave you guys a like and subscribe. :)

    @hannahm2144 Рік тому +12

    This podcast was so interesting, we definitely need more education around alcohol especially in the UK. I’m also 1 year sober and 33 so her story really resonated in many ways. I think binge drinking culture and the fact we associate so many occasions good and bad with alcohol is a recipe for disaster. It’s really helpful I think for people to see examples like this and know they have a choice. Alcohol doesn’t have to define every social occasion or be used as a tool in replacement of actually working through emotions.

  • @estynaty2002

    Hi Steven, thanks for hosting Lucy, this was a great episode! I've been devouring your episodes, as many of the themes and topics align with the self-growth journey I have embarked upon.
    I can really relate with Lucy - and I wanted to share something - please, on UA-cam there is a music video called "Hi Ren" by a little-known but recently viral British artist named Ren. His story is tragic, his music is - uniquely, creatively, amazing. This particular song speaks to that inner critic - that toxic voice in your head. It's a topic that has come up in a few of your episodes - I bet Lucy will hear this song and relate to it so much. Anyone can relate to it somewhat but some of us more than others. But Steven, I was hoping you would listen to it - I am interested to hear your thoughts. Much love from Canada!

The journey to inner peace is so beautifully different for everyone yet it bonds us as humans and it sheds light for others on their paths.
