Relationships Before, During and After Disordered Eating Recovery Aug 26, 2015

Show notes

Episode 64: In this episode of the MBM podcast, I discuss the difference in relationships before, during and after disordered eating recovery. As you all know, I completely understand what it's like to try to relate to other people, such as friends, family members and lovers, during an eating disorder. It feels almost impossible to go out and have a good time when you can't stop the overwhelming fear about your food choices, body image, and sense of control from bubbling over your limits for how much anxiety you can handle in a day. Sometimes, it was just so much easier to turn down a date or happy hour with my friends because the stress of "how many calories are in that?" was just too much to handle. Until, I made the commitment to try. It was simple. Just go out and be intimate with the moment, and see what happens. You'll find out exactly that in this episode! Show notes: Dream relationship exercise How living in defense mode was inevitable during my disordered eating days, and also exhausting How you know when you're entering the "during" phase Why dating in the "during"phase is like free coaching The best thing you can do after a date to keep the intimacy going Letting go of your desire to control the status of the relationship, as you let go of control over food The momentum aspect of the "after" portion of self-discovery [Tweet "Want to know the difference between relationships before, during and after #ED recovery?"]

That's what everybody is craving deep down inside, even men even though we can get this idea they don't crave that, they are really fed by that too. And one of the ways to get to that level of depth is to be truly intimate during sex which means to feel what you're feeling and express what's really going on inside and that, whether you have an orgasm or not, you feel met on a level that matters." -Layla Martin Here's what we talk about today: My Huffington Post Article (read HERE) How Layla originally became so passionate and fascinated with holistic sexuality The most ridiculous thing she did in Asia when first studying pleasure and sex How to release shame in your female parts (and where it usually shows up!)

Camille DePutter: Healing Your Heart Through Storytelling Jul 29, 2015

Show notes

Episode 60: Camille DePutter has always been a storyteller. Whether it was writing the editors of Archie Comics to correct their grammar, or developing key messages to convince her parents to let her have more candy, at a very young age she learned the importance of telling a story, and telling it well. She is part poet and part pragmatist. She’s worked as a communications expert in marketing, advertising, public relations, and in-house, and through the years she has helped business leaders gain followings and build customer bonds with authentic, articulate, artful communication. She has also learned first-hand the power of telling one’s own story: of sharing our most significant, transformative moments, or capturing the memories and experiences of our loved ones. These are the stories that make us who we are – but sometimes we need help telling them. When she says she writes with heart, she means that literally. She was born with a heart condition. For about thirty years she tried to hide the story of her own heart. Today it is her signature story: a defining experience that she uses to show herself to the world, and help others do the same. Watch the video of this story HERE. Here's what we talk about in today's episode: Camille's heart condition causing shame growing up How Camille created a passion out of storytelling and why she helps others do the same How readiness is an important factor for exploring your past and future story The different forms of storytelling Moving on from identifying with labels that have been holding you down, but also being able to open the doors to other opportunities you never thought were in the cards for you The power of helping others now even if you're still struggling (especially if you're still struggling) How the world needs more people that aren't afraid to be honest Noticing the language that goes on in your head towards other people not meeting expectations An amazing resource Camille wants you to take advantage of!

6 Things I Want You to Know About Orthorexia Jul 15, 2015

Show notes

Episode 58: There's a lot of confusion about orthorexia, yet it's an eating disorder that's rapidly on the rise. It scares me how little most people understand about this disorder, so I've created this podcast to bring enlightenment to the topic. My goal is to make this episode a resource for coaches, clients, parents, friends, family members and people simply interested in learning more about orthorexia. I hope that if you think you might be suffering from orthorexia, this show will bring some relief and comfort, knowing full well that you are not alone, but will also encourage you to seek help from a medical provider, doctor, coach or therapist. If you're a parent, I hope that this podcast will help you understand what your child may be going through so that you can speak to them in a way that helps their recovery process. Without further ado, here are 6 things I want you to know about orthorexia (plus a super cool quiz to know if you are experiencing disordered eating patterns). What I discuss in today's show: My MindBodyGreen article I Struggled With Orthorexia Every Day for 7 Years. Here's What it's Like. How you can support the podcast by donating $1/episode (click here to see rewards) My Orthorexia Quiz (yes to one or more of these does not mean you officially have orthorexia) Can you eat food without weighing or measuring it first? Do you log all of your food into a calorie counting app because you HAVE to if you want to eat something? Do you get anxiety when somebody else cooks your food? Do you read nutrition articles obsessively? Do you have other obsessive behaviors around your body, such as exercise or ritualistic beauty routines? Do you have guidelines for what’s considered a “real” workout or a “healthy” meal plan? Do you have a meal plan? Do you feel shame and guilt when you get off said meal plan? Do you think about food and possibly exercise all day long? Do you have to earn your food? Are you afraid of relationships because they may distract you from your food? Do you have a good day if you ate good, and a bad day if you ate bad? Do you have a list of good and bad foods? Do you try to make up for unexpected calories by spending more time at the gym? Do you think carbs are better than fat, or vise versa? Do you crave to see food as food instead of a dictator of your mood? 6 things I want you to know about orthorexia...(directly from the article I wrote HERE) It’s about a desire to feel safe It’s not a choice It’s not always visible (you may be admiring somebody’s disorder and further influencing it) Commentary often does more harm than good It doesn’t just go away It often breeds other obsessions Get more insight by clicking here: maddymoon.com/bf [Tweet "Suffer from disordered eating?
