My holiday pep-talk for you!

These will be helpful reminders whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving or for ANY social gatherings!

Tips and reminders for:

👉 How to deal with friends and family’s “diet talk” and food/body comments at the holiday table

👉 If you feel worried about “food guilt” or eating “too much”

👉 If you feel like you need to “compensate” the day after big holiday meals

Sending you love and blessings whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving or not! (Also if you feel some holiday blues for NOT having big celebrations. You deserve compassion and love for that, too! 💖)

As we officially wrap up this series, I’m sending you my love, blessings, appreciation for being here and sharing:

✨Summary of what we covered in this series!

✨Why “knowing” in your brain is the FIRST step, and the next important step is “FEELING” it in your body (which is what the NOURISH-HEAL-THRIVE group program is designed for!)

✨WHY I created my first group program 7 years ago and how it has helped countless women over 15 cohorts (sharing some exciting examples!)

✨How "NOURISH-HEAL-THRIVE" will give you the step-by-step roadmap AND safe community of support to fully embody food freedom, have deep body image healing and thrive in a life where "health" feels empowering!

“Honoring your health with Gentle nutrition”

In this final lesson, I share:

✨ Can you REALLY eat “healthy” without forcing yourself?-YES, you can and here’s why

✨How diets damaged your relationship with nutritious foods, too

✨Client story: Who used to force herself to eat salads & exercise in her athlete years, then “let go” of everything and spent 3 years “just eating pizza,” but how she found her way to gentle nutrition and joyful movement (and YOU can, too!)

✨HOW to know you’re ready for “gentle nutrition” and what needs to happen first!

✨How the NOURISH-HEAL-THRIVE program is structured to walk you through the food+body peace process every step of the way (The THRIVE phase is all about APPLYING gentle nutrition, joyful movement, talking to healthcare providers, managing/preventing health conditions from a non-diet lens!)

Day 9: “Joyful Movement” (Such an important lesson whether you “hate” exercise or feel “obsessed” about it!)

I’m getting personal in today’s lesson sharing:

✨My old relationship with “exercise” growing up and through early 20s

• Dreadful PE classes
• Body-shamed at a gym
• Used to think: “I hate exercise” “I’m not good at it”

✨My NEW relationship with movement

• What happened in my late 20s, 30s
• What’s happened in my 40s now (I do something I never dreamt of!)

✨The TWO big shifts that will take you from “dreadful exercise” to “joyful movement”

• Explore these TWO questions to shift your relationship with movement

✨A note to those if you are on the other spectrum of “obsessive/compulsive exercise”

Day 8: “Respect Your Body” 💜

In this juicy lesson, I’m sharing:

✨How the critical lens you see your body through was “learned” (and HOW to unlearn it)

✨Why the point of “good body image” is NOT “I love how my body looks everyday,” but “I respect my body everyday”

✨2 things you can start doing TODAY to start respecting your body

✨A client story: who used to feel “disgusted” by her body after 2 traumatic pregnancies, but how she sees her body with awe and wonder today. (And even went back to dancing after 30 years!)

✨ How the NOURISH-HEAL-THRIVE group program can guide you through the entire process of deep body image healing in the “Phase 2: HEAL” stage

Day 7: Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness (This does NOT mean you should “never” eat emotionally! 😉)

In this important lesson, I’m sharing:

✨ If you feel like you “eat emotionally” to any degree, why you are NOT “bad” and need so much compassion

✨ Common “emotional eating” scenarios and what might really be happening

• Routinely eating lots of food at night
• Using food as a “coping mechanism” to access comfort or safety
• Denying/dismissing food’s association with emotions

✨Questions to ask yourself when you find yourself eating emotionally

✨2 examples of when “emotional eating” can become more concerning (and what to do)

• Using food to numb/sedate/dissociate
• Using food to self-punish

Navigating “emotional eating” can have many layers! So please remember: compassion over judgment! 💖💖

Day 6: “Feeling and honoring your fullness” (This is another layered topic that might not be as easy as it sounds!)

If you wonder:

✨ Why do I ONLY recognize “I'm stuffed!” level of fullness?

✨ Why is it so hard for me to stop eating even when I’m full?

✨ Why do I WANT to feel full all the time, or why am I SO TRIGGERED when I feel full?

I’m answering all of these in today’s audio lesson and also what TO DO in each of these scenarios!

And as always a reminder- if you struggle with any of these, please give yourself lots of compassion!

There are good reasons why it might be happening and it’s an opportunity to get to know your body better

Day 5: Discovering your satisfaction factor (This is what can be a total game changer in your relationship with food! 😯)

In this lesson, I’m sharing:

✨ Satisfaction factor is likely what’s missing if you:

• Keep thinking about food even when you ate enough
• Crave a certain food all the time
• Feel obsessed with food in general

✨ How to understand satisfaction

• The feeling that what you ate “hit the spot”
• It’s less about how MUCH you ate, and more about WHAT you ate
• It’s the single tell-tale sign of a “healthy/happy” relationship with food

✨ 3 ways you might be blocking yourself from feeling truly satisfied (number 2 is super sneaky!)

✨ 3 practical steps to fulfilling YOUR satisfaction factor

Day 4: Challenge the food police

In this lesson I’m sharing:

✨Where your “food police” voice came from

✨Why there are no absolute “good” vs. “bad” foods (I share a story about milkshakes at the hospital from my clinical training days!)

✨Why food is SO much more than JUST fuel and nutrients

✨Why the mean and judgmental “food police” voice is NOT good for your health nor your Intuitive Eating journey of making peace with food

✨Steps to challenging the “food police” and turning it into a “food anthropologist” instead

Day 3: Make peace with ALL foods!

In this lesson I’m sharing:

✨WHY you feel “out of control” around certain foods and haven’t made peace with them (hint: it’s NOT your lack of self-control)

✨What is actually CAUSING the “last supper mentality” and feelings of “binge eating”

✨3 scientific reasons for why “controlling” food actually leads to eating MORE of that food over time (I even share some interesting brain MRI research on this!)

✨HOW you can make peace with ANY food, so you can get to that place of saying “yes” and “no” in “balance” even without controlling or enforcing rules!
