032 The importance of “You First" in Gamechanging

Today, I'm honored to bring the amazing Louise Westra to the show. She is the Founder and Director of Louise Westra Health Mastery, one of the few naturopaths in the UK with a Master's in Science, an Amazon best-selling author, and a women's health strategist.  Louise is passionate about helping women to harness their biology to create the health and resilience they need and deserve to fulfil their purpose and fully live the life they desire. She has been a Naturopath for the last 18 years, guiding and supporting the compulsively busy to learn more about the areas that are undermining them, and teaching them to interpret the signals their body is providing to build and then sustain the best health of their life.  Our conversation revolves around health, vitality and smashing the patriarchy. Louise shares with us her straightforward and easy to follow ideas about the oppressive influence of patriarchy over women's lives, roles at work, development, success, and happiness. We also explored the relationship between our beliefs and limitations, productivity before health, and feeling guilty for resting.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - Louise Westra’s background and the kind of service she offers  - How patriarchy and embedded patriarchy hinder women's development and success - Why most women tend to leave themselves behind during their success - What signs indicate that embedded patriarchy is driving us forward - What we can do to start generating the energy and well-being needed to stay in a changemakers mode sustainably The best way to start rebuffing default responses, also known as excuses, is to turn the changes we want to introduce in our lives into habits. The secret is to pick one little thing and introduce it into our daily routine consistently until it is ingrained and part of our lives. By doing this, we make sure that on challenging days we don't default to our previous behaviors.  Resources: - Louise Westra website: https://www.louisewestra.com/  - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louisewestrahealth/  - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/louisewestrahealthmastery/  - LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/louisewestrahealth/ - Book: Louise Westra - You FIRST: Your Body, Your Needs, Guilt Free is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/You-First-Your-Needs-Guilt/dp/1913728439 - Heart Math www.heartmath.org  - The International Coaching Federation - www.coachfederation.org - The Inner Circle and MUSE: https://lisawynn.com/service/the-coaching-mastery-inner-circle/ - Join The Legacy Creation Clan on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/legacycreationclan - Visit my Website http://www.lisawynn.com/  - Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/legacycreationcoach  - Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/legacycreationcoach/
