Roz Purcell on Learning to Love Your Body

“Your body isn’t just for show, it does a million things for
you every single day that you take for granted and by punishing
it or wanting another body is never going to make that
relationship better. I tried every single diet fad, every quick
fix out there and I never went, 'now I’m happy'” - Roz
Purcell


 Our guest in this episode of The Happy Pear Podcast is the
amazing Roz Purcell. Roz is an author, chef, blogger,
entrepreneur, podcast host, charity worker, former miss universe,
a dear friend, and so much more. 


Roz always has several amazing projects on the go, from her food
blog ‘Natural Born Feeder’, to writing her best-selling
cookbooks, to creating ‘The Hike Life’ brand and community, to
her amazingly successful podcast ‘Bite Back’. The real question
is, what hasn’t Roz done? 


Most notably, Roz is currently one of the leading body positivity
voices in the UK and Ireland today. Over the past number of
years, she has used her platform to speak out about her food and
body image struggles and educate people on both the physical and
mental health impacts of toxic weight loss culture and eating
disorder habits. 


Roz is consistently an inspiration for us. She is open, honest
and raw about all her struggles and has helped 1000’s of people
improve their relationships with food and exercise through her
voice and platforms. 


 In this episode, Roz discusses: 


-       Her incredible journey thus far, from
growing up in Tipperary, to starting a modelling career and
becoming miss universe, to her struggles with food and body image
and her continued search for self-acceptance. 


-       The reality of being in the public
eye, behind scenes of having a social platform and trying to
balance providing inspiration and realistic expectations online.


-       The struggles of being a female in
today's society.


-       The dangers within the fitness
industry today. 


-       What piece of advice she would give
her younger self. 


-       The importance of nature and hiking
in her life and how it acts as her reset button. 


-       Her and her family's journey from
beef farming to being predominantly plant based. 


-       Her journey to understanding and
healing her relationship with food. 


-       How her definition of success has
changed for better and she is now just taking it day by
day. 


 We have known Roz for years and never got the chance to
speak frankly with her like this, so we can’t wait to share this
conversation with you. 


 We are super excited about this episode, it's full of
practical tips and takeaways and it's an absolute cracker! 


 Big love, 


 Dave & Steve
