Slowing Down and Simplifying Health Alexandrea (Ali) Elman

Coach Tyler and Dr. Lisa Folden sit down with health coach Ali Elman to talk about shifting from punishment to self-compassion in wellness. Ali shares her journey of moving from perfectionism and overachievement to embracing a simpler, more sustainable approach to health after a major health crisis. Together, they explore how slowing down, listening to your body, and letting go of rigid expectations can transform the way you care for yourself. This conversation covers the trap of tying worth to productivity, the importance of balancing medical and holistic care, and how small, accessible changes like hydration, rest, and daily rhythms can create lasting impact. Listeners will walk away with permission to simplify wellness, redefine success, and honor their bodies with compassion instead of control.
