ABOUT OUR GUEST:

As a woman of color of Iraqi descent, she often works with marginalized communities to help them realize possibilities in a way that honors their particular lived experiences.

TOPIC:

40% of the US population is managing a chronic illness right now, and we’ve shared how we’re part of that group in previous episodes. We invited holistic leadership and mindset coach Amina AlTai on the show to discuss how to be an advocate for your health in the workplace and make space for rest and recovery in today’s hustle culture. Amina shares her tips for how to get really clear on your energy code and tools to help with conserving energy. We also touch on the role that a supportive community plays in pain management and healing, and how healthy-bodied people can use their privilege to support people with chronic illness.

In this episode, we discuss:

Amina’s journey with celiac disease and Hashimoto’s
Designing your work schedule around your energy and allowing space for agility
Amina’s guided practice journal and notebook, The Nourishment Journal
Giving yourself permission to unmask your symptoms and show up as your fullest self
The difference between rest and nourishment
The domino effect of self-advocacy
Reimagining the capitalistic, patriarchal way of running businesses

WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode, we play Unpopular Opinion. Nat reveals that she prefers chocolate over vanilla, but explains the nuances of her hot take. Corinne says that she doesn’t get the hype about McDonald’s fries and would prefer Arby’s or Burger King fries any day of the week over McD’s.
