005: CASE STUDY: Food Freedom and Self-Love in MONTHS instead of YEARS! Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

After being stuck on the diet roller coaster for decades, Suzanne thought she was just "one of those people" that would have to live like this forever. Her life was filled with lots of success and external accomplishments, but deep down she was living in sadness, disappointment, and feeling like she knew there was so much more to life but just didn't know how to break the vicious cycle. And on top of the food, body, and self-rejection prison that she felt powerless to escape from, it kept her from putting herself out there to find true love, knowing that if she didn't find it in herself FIRST, she would never be able to full receive it from another. Apprehensive but knowing something had to change, Suzanne booked a call with me. She wasn't sure if anything could help her at this point, but flip flopping between being an extreme dieter to an extreme binge-eater was no longer a way she wanted to live. So she got started in Stressless Eating. In this interview she shares her journey, her struggles, her shifts, and what enabled HER to finally forgive herself, love herself, and set herself free.

004: Why Most Therapy Doesn't Work For Food & Body Struggles Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

I'm a BIG FAN of therapy, therapeutic modalites, and getting supported while you work through struggles, traumas, and life's curve balls. But when it comes to the struggles that we as women face with our bodies, food, and finding the love (and like) within ourselves, I've found that most (not all) therapy-based approaches tend to fall short. And this wasn't just the case in my own experiences either. I talk to A LOT of women each week, and most of them have tried every thing under the sun (diets, plans, programs, etc) to address their struggles with their health or with their weight. But a staggering number of them also went to therapy, hoping that this would solve their struggles, and even though a lot of them gained better understanding of their struggles or were able to address the cause of emotional wounds or why old traumas were still impacting them… …the reason they were talking to me in the present day is because they STILL didn't have access to the SOLUTION to move them PAST their struggles. Awareness is amazing! It's crazy-powerful, and without it, we wouldn't be able to make the massive breakthroughs that lead to those life-altering shifts. I'd even go as far as saying that awareness is where transformation HAS to start… But awareness without a better STRATEGY — without a SOLUTION that addresses the actual root cause of the problem… And in this episode of the podcast, we take a look at why most therapy doesn't work for food and body struggles and what actually does!

002: Are You 'The Girl Who Cried Wolf? (Here's What's REALLY Causing Self-Sabotage) Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever gone to start a new plan or program, and on the surface you're gung- ho — ready to take it by the reigns, deeply committed, and hoping (praying!) that this time really IS different — that this will the 'the thing' that changes everything for you… …but secretly in the back of your mind, you're WAITING for it to fail? Perhaps you're even outright EXPECTING it to fail, because you know in your heart-of-hearts that even though the plan or the program itself might be different…. …you know deep down that YOU haven't changed — that you haven't gotten your mind, your head, your brain, and your heart aligned in a way that WOULD cause things to be different? I see this happening ALL the time. Heck , it's exactly how I used to feel each time I started out some new plan or method that (eventually) I just STOPPED talking about it or telling anyone altogether. And in this episode of the Podcast we are going to talk about why this REALLY happens, how to earn back your own trust, and how to never become the "Girl Who Cried Wolf" ever again.

001: The Tale of 2 Cookies: Busting Through 'The Diet Mentality' Myth Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

One of the biggest myths out there in the Women's Health 'world' is this idea that you should get 'good' at dieting. One of the biggest myths out there in the Women's Health 'world' is this idea that you should get 'good' at dieting. I can't even tell you how many women I speak with that WISH that they simply had more willpower or discipline or perseverance to stick with their diet… and that if they could just figure out how to make THOSE things show up for them, all would be well, and the problem would be solved. I used to think the SAME THING about my own struggles with my weight and my own inability to stick with whatever the 'diet of the month' I promised myself I would follow through on. And I came to learn that it was only because I was focusing on the WRONG thing. In fact, I was actually making WORSE! Because willpower and motivation and the ability to 'grit' my way through yet another unsustainable diet, were NOT my problems. The REAL problem was this idea in my head that actually WANTED to 'get good' at dieting…or to be a better 'dieter'. THAT was the problem. It was that 'Diet Mentality' that was keeping me stuck, and the fact that I was trying to become MORE skillful in a way of thinking that was setting me up to LOSE and setting me up to FAIL…well that was just the icing on the cake. And in this episode of the Stressless Eating Podcast, we are going to explore the in's and out's of the 'Diet Mentality' Myth….
