Whether you do it all the time and get stressed out about it or don't do it at all and feel guilty about it, exercise is something that we've created so much drama around in diet culture. This episode has some great tips for finding a way -- if you CHOOSE -- to incorporate exercise into your life in a way that works for your body, your schedule, and your preferences.

In this episode, I'm talking about why my daughter stealing my sweatshirt made me really mad, and how I managed it so I didn't barge into her room and scream at her at 6:00 in the morning. Letting yourself feel the way you really feel, labeling it, describing it, and talking yourself through it is the key to avoiding lashing out at others or coping in ways that aren't necessarily productive.

This episode explain why it's so important to really tease apart your beliefs about your body and make sure they're still relevant for your life.

I'll also explain why it's so important to just be your most authentic self and stop trying to appeal to everyone. There's a lid for every pot! The more YOU you are, the more easily you will attract people who really resonate with you and love you for YOU.

There's so much to complain about these days, but I really think it makes things worse. Not only does it affect your mood and energy, but our collective pessimism really invites more problems. Learn how you can shift your attention to stop inviting negative energy into your life.

In this episode, I'm telling a story about this dude in my neighborhood who took it upon himself to confront me about my "obvious" desire to lose weight and recommend some crazy diet. Hopefully, you can use this experience to gain some tips about how to deal with this kind of stuff in your own life.
