Today we are sitting down with fitness and lifestyle coach, podcaster, and founder of I am Athletics, Rachel Brooks! She shares her story of overcoming perfection and years of body issues by changing thought patterns and really digging deep to know herself. We talk about giving yourself grace, letting go of control, and taking off the mask to reveal your true self. Rachel shares how writing her upcoming book, Chasing Perfection, has been a transformative and cathartic experience in her journey of healing.
