Alex McKinley on Recovery: Balancing Emotional Health and Self-Care

Recovery means a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength. But also recovery, I feel like, isn't just returning to a normal state.
Ever feel like you're juggling too many things at once? In this episode of 'The Recovery Room', fitness trainer and community director Alex McKinley opens up about her journey to finding balance and prioritizing emotional health. With a background in fitness training and community leadership, Alex shares practical tips on how to redefine recovery beyond just physical healing. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care to maintain overall well-being.
Alex dives into her personal experiences with overextending herself and how she learned to put her needs first. Meditation and mindfulness practices are also highlighted as key tools for reducing stress and improving emotional health. Throughout the episode, you'll hear about Alex's routines, including journaling, reading, and exploring new ways to stay active. The conversation wraps up with a poignant question: what advice would you give your younger self?
Tune in for an insightful chat that could be the nudge you need to start prioritizing your own well-being.
