Special Guest: Jesse Saffold, LCSW! My partner in life has agreed to come on the podcast! We discuss therapy and nutrition therapy and how they intersect and overlap around the idea of self-acceptance and unconditional positive regard as foundational to allowing us to make behavior changes in our lives that will benefit our physical and mental health. It is really hard (perhaps impossible) to make lasting changes in our lives when we are coming from a place of self-judgment, shame, guilt, and have a fierce inner-critic. Radical acceptance can help us move forward when we are feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns or habits that aren't serving us any longer. We discuss some practical habits and exercises that can create moments of pause and self-reflection in our busy lives. I end this episode with a brief life and work update. Changes are under-foot this spring!
