Babe Philosophy: Overcoming Control and Embracing Vulnerability with Dani Ferreira

Hey babes, buckle up for a deeply raw and real episode of Babe Philosophy! Before diving into this week's conversation, let’s set the stage: this episode touches on some graphic and heartfelt discussions about eating disorders (ED) and addiction, all from personal experiences and heartfelt beliefs - not from experts, but from real-life journeys of three women. We chat about meditation, journaling, and reflection - life's little pauses that keep us grounded. 

In this episode, we bring on the multifaceted and wonderful Dani Ferreira. She’s a gut health coach, yoga and fitness instructor, singer, songwriter, and all-around amazing human. Dani opens up about her life, her struggles with control, and how she has confronted her eating disorder from childhood to now. We dive deep into the relationship with control, moving from Dani's past with anorexia to today's challenges with binge eating.

Liv and Meli also share their personal battles with control - from ketamine and alcohol addiction to the complexities of intimacy and attachment. We peel back the layers on how control manifests in various corners of our lives, sometimes without us even noticing. 

But it's not all heavy; there's a lot of laughter, relate-worthy thumb and tar monster analogies, and breakthroughs about how surrendering and asking for help transform our lives. 

By the end, this discussion is a reminder that each of our journeys is utterly human, deeply interconnected, and beautifully flawed. Expect to leave this episode feeling seen, heard, and utterly real. Dani, we love you. And to our listeners - what’s your thumb experience? DM us your stories!

🫀About Dani

Hey everyone!! I am coach Dani! My passion for overall health & fitness is a compiled result of my experience in competitive sports, my eagerness to advocate for mental health, my interest in the human body & anatomy, and my overall love for life & helping other people. I am currently certified in strength & conditioning as well as mobility. 

These interests and passions of mine have allowed me to have taught yoga for the past 6 years and been both a group fitness instructor and personal trainer for the past 7. Today, my philosophy surrounding fitness is strongly based on developing a healthy relationship with, food, your body, and exercise. Everything begins & ends with your mindset! My fitness journey is something that has changed my life forever & is a huge part of who i am today. 

I believe it’s no coincidence that HEAL and HEALth have the same root word. Overall health is an anchor for success. We are become stronger together as we continue to show up for (y)ourselves.
