You Can Always Begin Anew Sep 17, 2018

Show notes

(Post 4/5 -read post #1 here, post #2 here and post #3 here) Love, with the world getting more colorful and the promise of another year coming to an end, you have the power to turn your life around. You have the chance to begin anew. You have the opportunity to balance out your inner darkness by cultivating your own light. You have the option of choosing comfort over fear, balance over obsession, transformation over remaining in the same old pattern of body-shame and body-hate. You have the power to fall deeply into self-respect, body-love and a new experience of your life. Teresa, the woman who deeply despised her body, who was trying to hide her pain and shame behind her obsession with food and her body, woke up one day and knew, she knew, that she couldn't continue living this way. Her last diet had failed her yet again and she was done. She knew that she wanted to live a better life, she didn't know how, but she felt that change was imminent. It was fall and she was ready to learn to love her body and let go of her need to numb her pain with food. This time, she promised herself, it was going to be radically different. INTRODUCING FALLing into Body-Love - 21 Days to really dive into the symbolic nature of fall: letting go of painful beliefs and body-shame while you sink into the luxurious comfort and relief of soft blankets and transition into a new way of being with food and your body. Feels good, doesn't it? Feels like a breath of fresh air, no? The relief you've been waiting for - not just since the beginning of summer but since the beginning of time, the first time you binged, the first day of your first diet, the first time you looked into the mirror and hated on your thighs, your belly, your imperfect breasts. Want to know more about FALLing into Body Love? Ready to tune into these beautiful seasonal energies to create transformation and let go of the pain you've been holding?

You Do Not Have to Shrink In Order to Be More Sep 16, 2018

Show notes

(Post 3/5 - read post #1 here and post #2 here) Yesterday, I shared how easy it is to abuse the special energies of fall in a way that make you hide your own magnificence. This desire for a new body, a better body, that Teresa "instinctively" related to the beginning of fall is obviously picked up by the weight loss industry. As Teresa looked around, all she could see were weight loss programs urging her to get rid of a few more pounds before the holidays. All she noticed were the messages telling her to shrink, become less, in order to soon be MORE. She believed it, without really knowing that she did. She believed it, without really questioning it all. She knew it was the truth as it was all she had ever heard. Do you see these messages too? Well, of course you do. And I urge you, obviously, to not fall for the marketers who are trying to make you live in fear, who are wanting you to stay oh so small. I urge you to instead allow yourself to come back home to yourself, to choose body-acceptance over more body-shame. I urge you to use the arrival of this new season for deep reflection and true inner transformation. I urge you to lovingly use this time to turn inward and get to know yourself, your life's purpose, your goals more and more. Because, when the leaves are turning and the air has that distinctive feel of fall, you can easily and effortlessly FALL into body-acceptance. So, take a breathe with me, inhaling the last rays of the summer sun and exhaling all your weight and food fears, letting go of what is holding you back from loving your body and arrive in fall with me. Hand in hand. Eyes locked in trust. That is exactly what Teresa did. I have something special coming for you that is so special, I can hardly stand not telling you right now. It brings tears to my eyes and for a few women, it is going to change Fall forever. #fallingintobodylove

Does the Beginning of Fall Mark the Beginning Of Just Another Diet? Sep 15, 2018

Show notes

(Post 2/5 - Read the first post here) So, are you breathing easier? Are you already dancing to that slightly (or very) different beat? Well, if you do, you've tapped into something truly special. You've instinctively noticed fall's healing opportunities that go way beyond covering yourself up more again. Fall is the time of the year where transformation happens easiest, quickest and in the most profound ways. Fall has mystical energies that can accelerate your journey to deep, lush body-love tremendously. Just like it did for Teresa. She has, as I wrote, always been a huge fan of fall. Despite being a child of the summer, fall was always the time she looked forward to. She felt that when the days got shorter and the temperatures fell, she was more at "home" again. Looking back now, she knows that this feeling of coming "home" again was just another way of hiding. Of course it was. Fall, for her, meant just another diet. After the freedom of summer, she went back to her weight loss craze, so that she could sport a new, thin, super awesome body on Christmas Day... She (ab)used the special energies of this coming season to recoil into her fears, to shrink once again, to build a life on the terror within and to commit to another lifetime of being stuck in diet prison. With her favorite TV shows being back, with the days getting short and with her favorite ways to numb herself in arm's reach again, it was easy to stay in pain and to hide behind a mask of sadness. That mask that made her feel comfortable and safe. And yet, it caused a world of pain inside of her, a world that was only kept in check by, well, bingeing and dieting. Yes, fall was a special time for Teresa, but she didn't know how much more special it could actually be, if only she allowed herself to be who she truly was. Imagine if there was another way to FALL into Fall that created more peace and love in your body instead of more abuse and self-loathing. Well, love, there is. #fallingintobodylove

The story of Teresa. A story of falling into body-love. Sep 14, 2018

Show notes

(Post 1/5) The story of Teresa. A story of falling into body-love. Fall is in the air. Teresa can smell it, she can sense it, she feels it in every part of her body, mind and soul. The morning temperatures are crisper, the days are noticeably shorter and the distinct energies of the changing season have arrived. Some may be sad as the summer months are coming to an end, but Teresa is excited, she's breathing a sigh of relief. Teresa, who has been fighting her body and food for as long as she can remember, is ecstatic that summer is over. Summer, for her, means excruciating pain: showing more "flesh", wearing clothes that feel anything but "safe", finding excuses not to go to the beach, to the pool, to bbqs that she's inevitably being invited to, comparing herself to those that are blessed with bodies that are thin and "simply" feeling ashamed, less than, too much and being confronted with all of herSelf in ways she just can't cope nor does she want to. For me, as a coach, summer offers amazing opportunities to step into body-confidence. For Teresa, who is still learning to love her body, summer is the time of the year she fears the most. Things are changing, of course they are. But it's a process. Now, however, fall is coming. Now, however, relief is imminent. Now, however, comfort is almost here. Teresa can feel it. How about you? Can you breathe easier? Do you already dance to a different beat? #fallingintobodylove

Do not apologize Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

Here's something really, really, REALLY important (and a little coach-y kick in the butt): STOP apologizing for your body, your weight AND your food choices. You do NOT have to comment on the fact that you're eating a burger AGAIN. You do NOT have to make jokes about having to buy new pants AGAIN. You do NOT have to find excuses for having missed a workout AGAIN. Even if you gain 50 pounds, eat 20 pieces of cake, never workout ever again, you DO NOT have to MENTION IT or APOLOGIZE about it to ANYONE. OWN your choices, OWN your life, OWN your body and weight and stop living in fear of other people judging you. Guess what?! People judge. That's what they do. Most of them anyway. If we all lived in fear of judgements all the time, we'd not be able to live at all. So, instead of apologizing for doing what you do, just DO IT. And let others believe and think whatever they chose to believe and think. It's YOUR life. Live it the way YOU want to to.
