Jia Jiang: 100 days of Rejection Therapy Apr 15, 2015

Show notes

Episode 45: Jia Jiang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed, and spiraled into a period of deep self doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his "100 days of rejection" experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis--from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings (yes, with a viral video to prove it). Jia learned that even the most preposterous wish may be granted if you ask in the right way, and shares the secret of successful asking, how to pick targets, and how to tell when an initial no can be converted into something positive. But more important, he learned techniques for steeling himself against rejection and ways to develop his own confidence--a plan that can't be derailed by a single setback. Filled with great stories and valuable insight, Rejection Proof is a fun and thoughtful examination of how to overcome fear and dare to live more boldly. Here's what we discuss in today's episode: How Jia wasn't raised to face rejection in his childhood My biggest fear today How and why Jia started "100 Days of Rejection" Rejection Therapy Jia's very first rejection (and how he reacted to it) His most impactful rejection assignment (watch here) The most painful interview in the English dictionary How the fear of rejection is linked to disordered eating The lack of control we have over other people's reactions and opinions Jia's most terrifying rejection assignment The best starting point for getting rejected if you want to try rejection therapy How rejection therapy helps you with your responses to others as well (No is just as important as yes!) The best way to learn what kind of person you are Training kids to handle rejection Jia's new book Rejection Proof and his "Rejection Gym" course Want to link up with Jia?

George Bryant: Finding Power In Eating Disorders, Body Dysmorphia and Loss Apr 01, 2015

Show notes

Episode 43 *Spoiler alert- this is my favourite episode ever. Period.* George Bryant is the man behind the wildly popular Paleo food blog “Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations” as well as New York Times Best-Selling author of The Paleo Kitchen. After spending the first 20-something years of his life in a constant battle with his weight, and then nearly losing both his legs while on deployment as a US Marine, George took matters into his own hands and began his own Paleo journey. What started as a simple place to post recipes for friends has since turned into an award-winning food blog. After being in the Marines for 12 years, George has since been medically separated and is enjoying working full time creating delicious Paleo recipes, while hoping to change as many lives for the better by making REAL food recipes simple and tasty. What's unique about George is not only that he overcame a serious injury with his legs, but that he suffered from body dysmorphia and an eating disorder. George is brave in so many ways. His courage and strength never fails to impress me and I can confidently say we can all learn so much from him. Here's what we talk about in today's episode: Why George is so open about his experiences with body dysmorphia and eating disorders His powerful "minute of truth" practice George's legs blowing up, being shot at, his concussions and seeing dead bodies- and how he still sheds tears over it all from a place of love No matter who you are or where you go, there will be opposition How people project their own insecurities onto others and how to approach it The root of so many body image and eating disorders Being present to societal pressures How George's fiance has made personal development possible for him Power comes from acknowledgment There never needs to be a logical explanation for feeling what you feel Tapping Not feeling like your story is worthy What you resist, persists.

The Model Health Show: Achieve Body Freedom With Madelyn Moon Mar 04, 2015

Show notes

Episode 39 Good day, friends. Today's episode is a different one indeed. I was interviewed by Shawn Stevenson from the Model Health Show a few months back and we had such a wonderful talk that I decided to put the interview on my show too! If anything, you'll learn a bit more about me that I haven't shared on my show yet, and you'll also discover an amazing new podcast to listen to. You may remember Shawn from Episode 14 of the Mind Body Musings longggggg ago. If you never heard that one, check it out HERE. I promise, you won't want to miss out on that one either. Here's how Shawn describes this episode: One thing is for certain: you will fall in love in this lifetime. You will be head over heels, you will sacrifice anything, and you will see a beauty that words can’t describe. For many of us, we will fall in love many times… But the question is, will you ever fall in love with the most important person of all? Our society has been programmed to think that we are all incomplete. We need a love story with Tom Cruise and Rene Zellwegger to remind us how incomplete we are, and if we just find that special person it’ll be alright. The truth is, you always have been, and always will be, the answer you’ve always needed. You are complete unto yourself. You have a level of perfection that no one else can achieve… because you are a totally unique phenomenon. You deserve to be loved deeply by the most important person of all. –> YOU. Can you do that? Can you honestly say that you love yourself as much as you truly deserve? If not, then this may be one of the most important moments in your life. Today we have on Holistic Health Coach Madelyn Moon. She’s a friend and someone I truly admire for her courage to say enough is enough! She has been a high performing fitness competitor and has seen how you can easily lose track of what matters most. She’s dieted in a stricter fashion than most people will ever know, all in the name of health. But she found out at the end of the day that it was just a long, painful road to unhappiness. She reassessed things, developed some powerful transformational insights, and now is a shining example of what health can be (in our own unique way). If you live for the love of dieting, exercising, and competing, this in no way makes you wrong. Let’s celebrate what we all love, and make sure that we are giving healthy love and respect for ourselves no matter what path we choose. Madelyn has some game-changing information for you today. Just check out what you’re about to learn below: What our #1 human driving force really is. Why we can get so healthy that we become unhealthy. How fitness magazines and other media can motivate positive AND negative habits. What the dark side of fitness modeling is. How food fears can lead to disordered eating. Why this fitness model forced herself to stop working out. Why the pictures you see of fitness models don’t tell you the full story about their health. Why striving for perfection gives us a false sense of control. How Instagram is making a lot of people feel guilt, shame, and even depression. Why social media is showing you a “highlight reel” of people’s lives (and not the truth.) The big mistake that happens when you compare yourself to others. How to make the distinction between healthy self-care and disordered health practices. Why labeling things as “good” or “bad” can create an internal battle. Why diets actually work against your psychology. Small things you can do to appreciate your uniqueness and stop comparing yourself. Why we are naturally driven to eat sweet and salty foods (and why it’s not a bad thing!) Want to connect with Shawn?

Dr. Linda Bacon: Body Respect at Every Size Feb 24, 2015

Show notes

Episode 38: Dr. Linda Bacon is the creator of the movement Health at Every Size, also known as HAES. This movement has revolutionized what it means to be healthy and is stripping away our culture’s longtime belief that overweight means unhealthy and that one’s health can only be determined by one’s size. Dr. Linda Bacon is changing the way we view our own bodies, as well as the bodies of others and has made a huge impact already with her two books Health at Every Size and Body Respect. Bacon’s academic training includes two Masters Degrees, one in Psychotherapy, specializing in Eating Disorders and Body Image, and the other in Exercise Science, specializing in Metabolism. She also earned a PhD in Physiology with a Nutrition emphasis from the University of California. Relying on her unusual blend of academic, therapeutic and clinical expertise, Bacon is adept at translating scientific research into practical application. Her personal difficulties with weight regulation and her experience in overcoming them provide important perspective and inspiration for her work. Bacon is currently a Health Professor at City College of San Francisco and an Associate Nutritionist at the University of California, Davis. Today we’re going to learn about not only the scientific aspects of health, but also the social aspects that are contorting it’s true definition. Who's excited for this?! Here's what we discuss in today's show: How the "Health At Every Size" (HAES) movement originally started. Why our culture makes it hard for us to love our bodies. The top terms we need to throw out of our diction. How to reclaim the word "fat" and disarm the "bully." Thin privilege; when size is a currency. Focusing on weight is not the way to manage health and make the changes we want to make. Scientific studies aren't what fights prejudice. It starts with compassion. People that live more challenged lives often get the diseases that we label as "obesity." Your story matters. The number one thing we can do to improve our body respect.
