Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

Diet culture will have us believe that losing weight is always a good thing, and that we are unworthy of love when we fail to meet arbitrary, ever changing beauty standards. I have been involved in the body liberation movement since 2002 and weight changes are part of the process of life. Post partum bodies are frequently under attack from unrealistic expectations upheld by folks with lots of resources a regular person doesn't have access to.

Christina, also known at The Canncierge, levels up cannabis experiences. From first times to practiced high tolerance babes, we chat about how to use cannabis to survive or perhaps enjoy "The Relentless Times" we're in. 

Christina is living her dream combining many areas of expertise in her consulting and coaching, and we talk about entrepreneurship. Like me she's really chasing her goals and taking time to self care, grow and enjoy the journey.

An update six months into the Coronapocalypse! I checked in with Chrissy at the outset of the Corona Virus in episode 29, so I thought it would be fun to get her to update predictions six months into the pandemic. All hell broke loose methodically--not as fast as originally predicted. The painful things happening will make sense. "I have figured out as a human how to just sit down with all of the feelings and not center my fear."

During my adult life I have released a bunch of habits that no longer serve me: nail biting, self hate, shaming my own body, toxic codependent romantic obsession, investing in friendships that don’t nourish me, drinking coffee, drinking alcohol, sugar, dairy, soy, gluten, for a time corn, late night netflix binging, criticizing people I love and more!

In this episode I talk about how I did that, my mindset and tons of advice for releasing habits that aren't serving you and focusing on habits that nourish instead. But first and foremost, you're valuable just as you are and nothing needs to change for you to be worthy of love! (And love creates a great environment for change where shame creates a toxic environment for change!)

"...there's a lot about my life that's bothered me but I couldn't do anything about it. I just had to survive. You're going to have to find a way to survive me walking through the halls in hair and make-up." 

Dylan Hill grew up in North Carolina a local performer while going through a tumultuous childhood. He began wearing make-up to high school because it made him happy and expressed himself. "Even if you don't agree with my lifestyle I don't judge yours. I just live and let live." 

Dylan is a singer, performer, stand-up comic, and now Instagram talk show host. Dylan is one to watch!

My bestie Rachael contracted the Corona virus from a family member when she chose to expand her pod. The story is heartbreaking and really comes down to bullying. I'm super happy to say Rach survived the fever haze and her corona experience, but it's a great reminder about being cautious. We speak in depth about how to have conversations with people about risk and safety and creating our boundaries. 

I also included a solo pre-roll about how to have HOPE in these uncertain times.

Part pep talk on the road to being your true self, part how-to manual, I break down what people pleasing is and what we can do to leave this behind. In this episode I break down how I shifted my mentality from people pleasing (ego) to living my authentic self (spirit). I could talk for hours about how much people pleasing is ingrained in us culturally. I really worked to distill this to action on what we can do to support living out our true selves. 

Release constantly worrying what other people are thinking and feeling. Just because a partner or family member is having a bad day doesn't mean you need to have a bad day.
