Body, I Love You

Notice how the bully in your brain reeeally tends to kick up around the holidays? It's the perfect smörgåsbord of food drama, family drama, end-of-the-year milestone drama, money drama, romantic drama, and then some. Well, here are 3 tips on how to be **at least** less of an asshole to yourself this holiday season. Included in this episode are a number of tools for your toolbox that you can use to have an empowered, present and fulfilling holiday/ life. These tips are good year-round so be sure to bookmark this episode (is that a thing? I still don't quite understand podcasting).

Pro tip: Body Scan starts at 7:11

This topic is a much needed refresher on the pod - today we are talking about the shadow side of feminine energy - The Dark Feminine. Let's chat about not only what this is but 10 ways that you can step into this energy RIGHT. NOW.

Thank me later.

We've all felt that feeling when everything just feels like it's collapsing on top of you and it all feels like too much. Let's talk about breakdowns, the impact on the body and how to process them.

I am back from my (3 years later) honey moon, y'all!!!! I had so much fun exploring Ireland and Scotland with my husband AND I notice sooo many things about how different vacation is through the lens of loving myself, intutitive eating, intuitive movement and giving diet culture the middle finger. Today I'm breaking down the pain that we don't speak about of being on vacation with poor body image vs whats possible on the other side.

Omg, this shit is so fun and empowering so get cozy and follow along as I take you through this past-self meditation where you will be joined by multiple versions of your younger self to have some powerful conversations about your body AND your body image. Stay tuned at the end for one of my favorite gratitude practices as well. You can meditate solo, turn this into journal prompts or open up this dialogue with an intimate group of loved ones - whatever feels right!

In today's episode, we are diving into the roots of fatphobia and the discrimination of bodies and beauty standards throughout our history and to no surprise... it's all rooted in racism. Let's talk about it! This epsiode barely scratches the surface of this topic and there is soo much more conversation to be had when it comes to different cultures, histories and injustices, but let's start here.

We're constantly consuming bullshit from media and it's important to curate our feeds so that we are consuming content that empowers growth, empathy and equity. What's on your feed matters, it's important that black voices are a part of it.

Perhaps save this one for when you're able to get up and move around with me. Today, we're chatting about intuitive movement and what better time to practice than right now? The first half of the episode is all about what intuitive movment is and the benefits of practicing and in the second half, I'll take you through a plethora of prompts and places to practice for yourself! Feel free to pause me whenever you walk to explore something for longer. Can't wait to explore our bodies together ;) .

What if I told you that the negative beliefs that you have about your body aren't actually yours? What if I told you that when people are critical about your body or the way you treat it, they are smearing all of their bullshit onto you - whether they realize it or not. Today we are talking about projection and how it impacts our body image. This conversation is actually wildly healing, it helps us exercise empathy & boundary setting, helps to eliminate shame, AND helps us understand ourselves better. Definitely give this one a listen.

Self love is nonlinear. There are ups and downs, good days and bad days - all of this is to be expected. Let's chat about what to do when it feels like you've taken 2 steps back.

Do you also struggle with decision paralysis? Where sometimes, even making the smallest decision like picking out an outfit or a meal can feel completely debilitating? Well, this may be related to your body image in a number of ways - let's talk about it.
