Valerie is a health and wellness coach and is my personal health &amp;amp; wellness coach plus an amazing friend of mine. She has helping me shift from measuring my worth from the #'s on the scale to learning to love my body. I wanted to have this conversation becasue of the many memes and jokes about gaining the \u201cQuarantine 15\u201d and non-stop happy hours. And I get it (and hey, have been there!) but I wanted to invite Valerie into having a conversation about easy and loving shifts we can make for ourselves during this time. Valerie offers some wonderful insights on shifting habits and how to even start a new health &amp;amp; wellness journey during this time. Plus hanging out with her is like being on the receiving end of a warm hug. You can find Valerie at http:\/\/www.herholistichealth.com\/ and she also does coaching for the Women's Vitality Center in Berkeley, California.
