Emily and Amelia talk food: Episode 3. This time it’s about food restrictions and why you might choose not to eat certain foods. No Sith were Revenged in the making of this podcast.  

tl;dr

• Make the best choices you can with the resources you have.
• You’re absolutely allowed to try restrictions on your food, to find out what works for you. You're also absolutely allowed not to restrict your food.
• Recognize that since we’re all making the best choices we can with the resources we have available, as your resources change, be responsive to those changes and develop the skills to make changes flexibly.

• And always remember that you don’t have to judge yourself. You’re doing your best.

Amelia leads this week, reflecting on what it’s like to be disabled in public. They’ve got some really helpful rules for everyone who wants to help. tl;dr When it comes to helping, ask first. And listen to what they need.

There’s a bit of Disney, too.

Your Something Larger can be anything. Even Captain Phasma. And especially Chewbacca.

Time for a little escapism this week. Not a Disney fan? It’s OK. It all maps out to ventral spaces, Polyvagal Theory and accessibility, too.

Content warning for a tragic but not graphic story of an accident at the resort from about 53 - 56 min.

Let’s talk about what makes a good goal. Amelia kind of biffed on No Buy Low Buy, but in the service of owning enough clothing to leave the house without looking like a hobo. Maybe it’s OK to not be a minimalist in all things? 

Definitely stick around to the VERY end.
