Well-Fed but Undernourished: What Women Need in Every Season of Life with Jessica Khourie EP367

I just, as we're kind of closing up, I wanted to also, because I know this is a big thing for me, and I feel like you're going to have a lot of really cool things to share to this as well is that nourishment is so important.

That's been the theme of our conversation today is how important it is for us to get the nutrients.

But especially I feel like for women, we need to recognize that nourishment is so much bigger than just nutrition.

There are so many different areas of our life that feed and fuel us.

And so instead of just getting bogged down with just what is the nutrient status of the food that's on your plate or in your cup, you

I want others

to understand how important it is for us to think about all of the other areas of our life that actually fuel us and feed us.

And so I would love your thoughts on this.

Maybe the areas of life that you feel are so important for us to be nourishing as well.

Yes.

I mean, to pun intended, we got to fill our cup.

The best feeling is ending a day or a week feeling like that cup is overflowing in full.

And yes, there is that base necessity of food and nourishment and nutrition, but there are so many other sources that, again, think of it as like a team of resources, options, of ways to funnel nourishment into your life, spiritually, relational-wise, like emotionally, mentally.

Me, personally, I have two that I protect as much as I can.

One are my people.

No matter how crazy the job gets or life becomes, and I know you relate to this, I can get really bogged down.

I have that core group of people within my family and my girlfriend group that that time is protected ferociously.

And I have had those moments in those seasons of life where I've abandoned some of those relationships where I felt like working was more important or whatever it may have been that was competing with that time.

And when I was feeling low, I was feeling like really depleted and I was physically not well.

When I just started turning that faucet back on again of connecting with humans who I love and who like feed my brain and my heart and my mind, wow, did that tank just start building quickly? So for me, relationships, my people, really fine tuning that group to the people who I really call my inner circle, so much value, so grateful, so appreciative.

And I nurture that as much as possible.

And then I think what's really important for women that I'm a huge champion of is yourself.

Like, I think we are these magical, amazing beings and we all have our own individual identity.

Yes, we're mom.

Yes, we're daughter.
