Today we talk with my dear friend and colleague Mariangelica Duque, Positive Psychology Health Coach, former child actor, screenwriter, and local Santa Barbara mom. 

We dive into a very real and raw conversation about her life experiences and the lifelong struggle of being overweight and the steps that she has taken to find her identity amongst diet culture. We also discuss how reinventing yourself is a beautiful thing, and there is no limit to where your experiences can take you. 

We touch on... 

• Diet culture growing up 
• Her life as a child actress and how that has impacted her as an adult 
• Mindful eating and how that has been a game changer in her journey
• How she was able to change her mindset from exercise being a “chore” to something she enjoys 
• The power in slowing down 
• Her experience finding a gym and using my app to keep you on track and accountable 
• Her current work as a health coach, AHA facilitator and the role this has played in finding her purpose.
