  • FBF Episode #42: Solocast {I watched “I Feel Pretty” and it changed me.}

    Hi Friends!

    Sorry it’s taken a few to get this episode up! 2 weekends ago I watched the movie “I Feel Pretty” starring Amy Schumer, twice in the same weekend. Why? Because it made me have a huge A HA moment–and I wanted to share my experience with you. There’s so much criticism of the movie and instead of picking it apart, I want to provide a positive view on a film that I think can change the way we view ourselves, even if we look nothing like Amy Schumer, we can change our views of ourselves and we have the power to do that. It’s all in our control and I LOVED the message of this movie. PLUS, I laughed (and so did my husband-shhh don’ tell him I told you that) SO hard during it. I highly recommend seeing it.

  • FBF Episode #41: What Do You Desire? {April Episode Solocast}

    Hi Friends!

    In this episode, we are diving deep into our desires. Not sure what you desire? No worries girl, I got you (and I totally didn’t know mine either when I first asked myself the question)! Together in this episode, we will explore what you truly desire. I’ll be asking you questions to get your brain to start thinking in terms of *desires* instead of being *desired*. After we explore together, I’ll share some of the answers to the questions to give you some examples. This is a topic I have become truly passionate about in my own personal life so I hope that this episode is helpful! Many many more episodes on this topic to come.

  • FBF Episode #40: The Deep Episode (Part 2 with Nick)

    Hi Friends! In this episode of Finding Body Freedom, Nick is back and we are going D-E-E-P!

    • An Update on saying ‘No’–Nick & I share some of our recent “No’s” in order to say yes to ourselves
    • Confusion around Sexuality- Nick & I go deep into this conversation. We both have been confused about our sexuality and we share very intimate moments in our lives in regards to this aspect of who we are as individuals.
    • Anxiety–how we both experience it and how we are currently working on our own.

      • A Bit More About Nick: @nickglimenakis

      Nick grew up in the woods of southwest New Hampshire before trekking west to Colorado to study outdoor education in hopes of becoming a park ranger. (He says his course load looked like something out of a Jon Krakauer novel.) But after park ranger life proved to have too many bugs, he packed up his tent, long underwear, and compass and traded in for 250 square feet, skinny jeans, and a camera and moved base camp to New York City in 2011. He now shoots interiors, portraits, and weddings for a wide variety of clients and is slowly building a dog walking business in between jobs. (He loves dogs.) When not taking photographs, he’s searching for the best french toast or rearranging his living room. He reads ‘Into the Wild’ every winter and loves the ocean. (And dogs.)

    • FBF Episode#39: Part 1 w/Nick Glimenakis {Dreams, Passions, and Saying No}

      Hi Friends!

      Welcome back to the podcast! This month is a very special month of podcasts because one of my best friends, Nick Glimenakis, is on the show with us for TWO episodes–Yay! In this episode (Part 1), Nick and I talk about the importance of connecting with what truly matters to you, we chat about the book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F!ck”, how Nick doesn’t care what other people think, and how he has learned to say “No” to situations, people, and experiences in order to say “Yes” to himself.

    • FBF Episode #38: My Husband-Jeff Winsor {Body Freedom Through His Eyes}

      Hi Everyone! Today I have a special guest on– My Husband, Jeff! Jeff has been a big supporter of the podcast since day 1 and in light of having people who are in my offline world join me online, I asked Jeff to come on the podcast and share his insight into his own body freedom journey. You’ll also get to hear a bit about how we met, the journey we have gone on together, and finding body freedom through his eyes. He’s had body image issues like the rest of us, now has a healthy relationship with food, shares why he enjoys movement and how he is able to not see exercise as a weight loss effort, and has a really positive outlook on life.

    • FBF Episode #36: Marci Evans, RD {What does a Healthy Relationship with Food even mean?}

      Hi All!

      In today’s episode Marci and I Cover:

      • What does having a healthy relationship with food even mean?
      • The difference between a credentialed eating disorder professional and an online “coach” that claims to help you heal your relationship with food but also talks about weight loss and a non diet approach to weight loss.
      • Body Image–How can we start to heal our negative body image in a world that doesn’t celebrate most/all bodies?
      • How can we live in the world that is so pervasive with diet culture and be okay with being on the “outside” of it? I have so many listeners who have written in asking how they can tolerate their friends/family talking about the diets they are on without getting triggered/feeling isolated?
      • And so much more!

        • LINKS:

        -Article about Intuitive Eating that we chatted about

        -Email me ([email protected]) for Marci’s Body Image Healing Handout (it won’t let me post it!)

        • FBF Episode #34: Solo Episode {Body Image, Weight Loss vs Health, Confidence, Vulnerability & More}

          Hi all! Today’s solo episode is one where I get vulnerable, super honest, and passionate with you. In this episode I am going to be sharing my thoughts on body image and why we tend to think our body’s need to change instead of our body image changing, confidence and where I believe true confidence comes from, weight loss versus health goals, vulnerability, and how intuitive eating is being misconstrued and mis-marketed in the self-help, body love, “health coaching” world. I also get really honest about something that I am going to apologize for. I truly hope if this episode helps you in any way or even fires you up, that you reach out and keep the conversation going!
