Kendra is passionate about helping women live fertile. To LIVE FERTILE is to live the most joyful, productive, and fruitful life you can by caring for your body, mind, and soul. Whether your goal is to have more energy, make peace with your body, or get pregnant, living F.E.R.T.I.L.E. can help you get there.

Our bodies and fertility are beautifully complex, but supporting and enhancing our wellbeing and fertility is simple.

Kendra's passion for helping women who want to conceive (someday or today) preserve and optimize their fertility all without restrictive diets, exhausting exercise, and extreme measures.
Why extreme measures aren't necessary for fertility, and may even inhibit it.
Why with PCOS, Kendra doesn't counsel most women to diet or exercise excessively, and instead encourages gentle nutrition practices like using the plate method.
Types of behaviors that lead to long term health, happiness and happy hormones, including how yoga benefits your fertility and hormone balance.
Strategies to include in your life to either protect their fertility or conceive soon.

Hello my fellow recovering perfectionists! You are going to love today's conversation, with guest Kara Loewentheil, about how to truly create self confidence by rewiring your brain and thoughts, and letting go of perfectionist fantasies around New Year's resolutions.

Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.

In this episode we discuss:

Kara's journey from lawyer to becoming a master certified coach and starting her own business, podcast and coaching community.
How thoughts create our feelings and impact our actions, and how to use the thought ladder to positively change this.
New Year's Resolutions: Are they good goals or perfectionist fantasies?
Three "women's empowerment" sayings that actually do a disservice for us in truly being empowered as women.
What it truly takes to accept and love your body at any size.
How to work towards neutral beliefs about your body to help change your body image.
Kara shares about her amazing podcast, Unfuck Your Brain, and her coaching community, the Clutch.
How Kara practices wellness without obsession.

320: Best Of: 10 Ways to Deal with a Bad Body Image Day Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Today on the podcast, I'm sharing with you 10 easy ways to cope with a bad body image day. This will be a short and sweet episode, which is perfect, anytime you are having one of these days, a bonus step could be coming to listen to this episode to remind you how to navigate it. The truth is, bad body image days happen.

I find for a lot of my clients, they can happen when they are challenging food fears (and the discomfort of eating them makes their brain perceive they have suddenly gained loads of weight), when they are having a stressful day or week and just generally can occur when things in our life feel out of control. As sad as it is, most of us feel that our bodies and food are sometimes the only thing in our lives that we can control. We want to be compassionate with ourselves when we feel this way, but I also encourage you to not let these negative thoughts dictate your actions and how you treat yourself or feed yourself. Listen to today's episode to learn more!

Thank you to Primally Pure for bringing today's episode. I am enjoying the rose tinted lip balm,plumping face mask and charcoal deodorant, all perfect for entering into the spring season. You can use the code NOURISH for 10% off your first order.
