We often look up to leaders as examples of success and discipline. However, despite their success in other areas, many leaders struggle with a common issue: weight management. It can be surprising to see individuals with so much control over their professional lives struggle with something as seemingly straightforward as maintaining a healthy weight and getting away from food obsession. In this second episode, we will explore some of the reasons why leaders may struggle with weight and body issues and offer some tips on how to prioritize health and wellness in a busy and demanding role. "For those of us who have been weight obsessed our entire lives, we need to know that the answer for us is not to focus on nutrition and being perfect with your diet.
