#42 From Feeling Numb to Alive (The Power of Nutrition & Fitness with Molly Dixon)

From Feeling Numb to Alive | The Power of Nutrition & Fitness with Molly Dixon

Have you ever felt like life was passing you by, leaving you emotionally numb and disconnected? You are not alone. In a world filled with responsibilities and expectations, it's easy to lose sight of our own health, needs, and desires. Putting others first and leaving no room for ourselves can be devastating, but amidst the chaos, there is hope. By acknowledging these feelings and intentionally carving out time for self-care and pouring into ourselves, we can begin to recenter ourselves and rediscover the joy and vitality that we've been missing. Health and fitness start with self-discovery and embracing the beauty of our own unique paths.

Join the conversation with Molly Dixon as he shares her journey and how she moved from numb to knowing herself and feeling alive through nutrition and fitness. Molly is a corporate operations executive for a tech company in San Diego. She epitomizes perseverance and ambition, shaped by her Midwest upbringing and collegiate success in New York City, where she graduated as valedictorian while playing college volleyball. As a military spouse, she has managed frequent relocations and eight-month deployments while advancing her career and raising her two daughters. Now nearing her 40th birthday, Molly continually satisfies her high achiever dopamine hit with ‘more is more.’
