Join host Christina Slater as she explores the psychology behind your habits and the shadows that shape patterns like binge eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and self-sabotage in your fitness journey. Expect raw conversations about body image, mindset, relationships, self-trust, and the deeper inner work most coaches won’t touch — the work that transforms your mind, your body, and your life from the inside out. If you want to get fit, get inspired, think deeper, and explore the parts of fitness no plan ever talks about, you’re in the right place. Hosted on Acast.

In Part 1 of this 3-Part series, Christina breaks down the concept of personality from its origins in ancient frameworks to how it became something medicalized in modern society — revealing that the more disconnected you are from your TRUE SELF, the easier you are to predict, control, and monetize. But sadly, most people don’t even realize it’s happening. Christina shares her personal experience with emotional processing, communication, and perception, including the tool that completely shifted how she understood her own patterns, and even reality. She also breaks down how you can start using that same tool to understand yourself, and others in a way you never have before. If you haven't listened to Beyond the Body episodes 183, 184, and 186 yet — start there. Understanding how YOU’VE been trained to reinforce the patterns you call “your personality” hits differently when you already understand why you became who you think you are. 🤯 Topics Discussed: Why \"that's just how I am\" is the most limiting thing you can say about yourself Where “personality” actually came from, and how it has evolved The elements (fire, water, earth, air) as an ancient lens for imbalance and deficiency How human behavior became something to diagnose, control, and monetize Christina’s psychological struggles with emotional disconnect and relationships Christina’s unhelpful experience working with a psychologist A critical look at “Personality Type Tests” — including one that goes deeper than the rest How core fears and motivations drive your behaviour Why avoiding triggers can block your ability to emotionally regulate How psychology tools can free you... or trap you deeper Key Links: 📱 Christina's Instagram &n…","meta_description":"You may think your personality is who you are… but what if it’s something different?
