Episode notes
Let Go To Fully Embody Change
- Letting go of a previous body allows full embodiment of pregnancy instead of resisting change.
- Iskra's therapist reminded her: "You will never have that body again," which freed her to accept the present.
Travel As An Intuition Experiment
- Use grounding rituals (magnesium, AG1, meditation) while traveling to keep energy and intuition intact.
- Treat trips as experiments in intuitive living: move, rest, and enjoy local food instead of strict routines.
Early Modeling Rejection Shaped Body Struggles
- At 15 agencies told Iskra her hips were too large and even rated body parts "zero out of 10."
- That rejection pushed her into dieting, disordered exercise, and later recovery work around body image.
