EFR 665: Build the Body and Mindset of Your Dreams, Develop a Positive Body Image, and Healing From Toxic Relationships with Valentina LeQueux
Valentina LeQueux is here to talk about the mindset needed to combat negative thoughts, using breathwork for trauma release, her struggles with body image as a fitness lover, and her self-worth during and after an unhealthy marriage.
We can learn a lot from our pasts, but as Valentina says, we can’t fix anything there. The only thing we truly have control over is this present moment. That mindset has gotten her through the hardest of times and led her to accept what is right here, right now.
Valentina LeQueux is a BA, CPT, breathwork facilitator, and Founder of Naked Coaching and the NKED app. Valentina creates online programs to educate a wide variety of people on how to stop over-complicating training and nutrition, so your mind is clear to build the body and mind you’ve always wanted.

Powerful Quotes by Valentina
Everything is a choice.
I’m always trying to be as fair as I can while still understanding that I am human and I have my own feelings and I have my own trauma.
Don’t stay in the past. You can’t fix anything in the past. You can try to learn from it… but the only thing that you can do is keep living in this moment in time.
