Alex Long is the Head Coach at VGFN a nutrition coaching company and I had the pleasure of meeting Alex for the first time in late April when we both went to the NLCA live event in Austin, Texas.
We met through a mutual friend and we immediately had a connection as we talked about my mushroom experiences and how she's always wanted to try them. I knew if she was open and curious about psychedelics we would get along!
Throughout our time in Austin during the event Alex had some of the most thoughtful questions to ask each guest speaker and I could tell she was as inquisitive as I am.
But on the podcast as I got to know her a little more I found out the reason she had gotten into this type of work in the first place was because she struggled with an eating disorder in high school.
This came as a big shock to me because meeting her for the first time in Austin TX I would've never thought she had struggled with something like that but being in this industry it isn't uncommon that the reason a coach became a coach is because they went through personal struggles, overcame them and now want to help other avoid the same struggles they went through themselves.
In this episode we talk about all things fitness and nutrition, we dive heavily into self love, what self loves means, body image, how to admit you need help, what drives Alex to pursue hard things, and so much more!
I had a great time having Alex on the show and if you'd like to connect with her you can reach her on Instagram @Alex.undefined_
