On episode 48 of Outside The Studio:
Holistic trainer Alison Pelot joins Tessa to discuss how to be intentional about thriving in life. Our default mode is not to thrive, it is to survive. This is why a thriving life is built deliberately not by accident. They chat about overcoming the shame and guilt of self-care, how to take life lightly, and how to listen to your body by understanding metabolic health and kinesiology.
Alison Pelot is a holistic fitness trainer, nutrition, and energy coach. She is the author of the newly released book Finally Thriving.

5 Key Takeaways
1. You have to really slow down to become aware of the synchronicities of the creative process. When you slow down, time slows down.
2. We’ve only been taught to survive. Making a decision to thrive is to take ownership of your experience in life. Aligning your mind, body, and spirit is key to that process.
3. You and your partner will obviously need each other, but your partner can’t meet all of your needs. You have to meet your needs first before someone else can help you.
4. Live your values, make sure you’re not blindly following someone else’s values - if you do, you might build up resentment.
5. Approach nutrition in a way that supports your specific metabolism. Nutrition that doesn’t support your metabolism isn’t good nutrition.
