“I've just found that what has worked best has been, I accept that I'm going to feel awful.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) shares her early struggles with addiction, self-esteem, and body-image issues. Dealing with challenges such as repeated arrests, weight gain, destructive behavior while battling addiction, Leila shares instances of judgement, criticism she faced, and how she shifted to healthier choices including exercising and healthier food. She chose to accept all aspects of herself, including her unique voice, resulting in a stronger sense of self-acceptance.
