In this solocast, I dive into what it means to listen to your body. I break it down into a simple to understand way, so you can see how you are already listening to your body in some ways which will give you clues how to tune-in in other areas.
You will walk away with practical tips to help you connect to your hunger and fullness signals.

In this episode, I interview Em von Euw, from the award winning blog This Rawsome Vegan Life! And it is a gem of an episode.
We dive into their journey through disordered eating, from being obsessed with the purity and quality of every bite of food, to later discovering that grilled cheese can be a health food. Listen to discover why and how- it just might blow your mind.
On their path to recovery, they uncovered the deep roots that Diet Culture has in colonialism, capitalism, "white-ness" and racism, and how this understanding was able to bring peace and compassion into their life.
Buckle up, this is an episode with complex & confronting topics, not for the faint at heart! Come with an open mind and explore some new perspectives with us. We talk about Diet Culture in a way that is less obvious yet crucial to fully understanding the wide spread implications it has on society and the role politics play.

In this Solocast, I explain what Diet Culture is and how even if we don't think we are dieting, we are still participating in the culture of dieting. It's so pervasive and woven into the fabric of Western Culture that its hard to see it as a separate entity that we can opt out of. By listening to this podcast you will be able to see Diet Culture for what it is and discover how it is effecting your life in overt and covert ways. Hopefully by the end you will feel empowered and choose to leave it behind.

Today on the pod, we interview Nicole Salmon, a Fat Positive & Feminist Fertility Coach about the myths and fears that are perpetuated in the world about fat women and getting pregnant. As some who is both fat and has PCOS, Nicola thought the odds of getting pregnant were small, and yet she has two beautiful children.
We talk about some actionable steps you can take if you are struggling with fertility and your doctor has told you to diet and lose weight. We dive into the common myths and why they are there. Nicole shares with us how she became more confident and comfortable in her body and what it's been like trying to raise her kids as intuitive eaters in Diet Culture.

In this episode, we interview Dana Monsees, CNS, MS from @RealfoodwithDana.
Dana used to be a Whole 30 Coach who recently made a massive pivot and shift in her business after realizing that Whole 30 was not delivering "Food Freedom" to most of her clients. Rather it was doing the opposite, it was either making their relationship with food worse, or had contributed to the beginning of a struggle with binge eating.
She had gone through her own struggles with an eating disorder and knew in her heart she had to make the switch in her business.

In this episode, I interview Ingrid Nilsen and cover a wide range of topics including her journey with YouTube, her relationship with makeup and acne, to exploring her sexuality and coming out online.
We talk about the small but growing trend in media and advertising away from Photoshop and using only one body type, and the excitement and importance of this shift.
An area she has recently become very interested in is body hair and I loved exploring this topic with her. I find it mind-boggling that we (myself included) have been trained to find this naturally occurring part of our humanity as gross and unfeminine.
Other topics we cover:
Female Periods
Perfectionism
Curiosity and Judgement

In this solocast, I introduce a new series called Sunday Sessions where I share with you recent downloads I have received from my intuition and highest self.
Sometimes they are in the form of a poem or a short message, but they truly feel like a transmission from something much bigger than my earthly self.
This first one is about wrinkles, or what I refer to as lines of experience and wisdom.
I hope you love this new series!

In this solo episode, I explore this ever-present message around weight-loss being the solution to so many aliments in life.
Everything from physical health to mental and emotional health. And I challenge the idea and argue that weight loss is not a panacea.
My goal is to bring awareness to how many of us think that weight loss is the solution and as a result, many of us miss opportunities for real change, real health and real empowerment.
