  • Introducing The Listen To Your Body Podcast

    The next evolution of Harder to Kill Radio is here and with a brand new name. Today's episode is all about diving into the reasons behind the change and what you can continue to expect from the Listen To Your Body Podcast.

    Hear Your Body Signals & Trust Yourself More Deeply

    There have been some major changes to my business and mindset since the start of this show, and I want to take you along on the journey with me. My goal is to continue to introduce you to expert guests and my own personal opinions so that you can reclaim your abilities to eat and move more intuitively, hear your body signals and trust yourself more deeply.

    Through the intersection of body, mind and soul health, true healing and an intuitive way of life are possible, and I am so happy that you are with me on this ride. I want to encourage you to develop your own intuition, align your energy with what you are truly connected to, and help you listen to your body.

    What do you think of our new name and mission? Head on over to the episode page and share your thoughts with me in the comments on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • Learn about the backstory behind the change of the title of this podcast (2:44)
    • Why I want to focus on intuitive eating, self-compassion, and mindset (7:35)
    • The importance of aligning our energy with what you feel connected too (8:15)
    • Reasons why I decided to change the name to Listen To Your Body (13:20)
    • What you can expect to learn more about with this new rebranding (15:02)

    Quotes

    "I began to feel a growing disconnect with the name. Recently in the last few months, I have been in an incredible coaching program, I have been getting coached around things like energy and energetics. And what started to become clear to me was the podcast as its own entity and its own energy and myself as I was continuing to grow and shift and diverge into this slightly different direction, our energies weren't matching up anymore." (8:36)

    "Even though I know very instinctively and intuitively that it is the next thing for me to do, there is still always this battle." (10:36)

    "Were working toward a more peaceful way of being in our bodies, whether that is incorporating intuition more, it's moving toward intuitive eating, moving our bodies more intuitively, moving our bodies for the joy of moving our bodies, incorporating things like spiritual curiosity, what does that mean and how does it factor into our mind body and our mind-body connection, meditation, all sorts of things." (14:51)

    "You're still going to hear things that are related to food and movement and mindset, but the energy, the intention, is different, it's shifting. And I feel so excited about it and I can't wait to share it with you." (20:30)

  • Super Bowl Halftime Show Thoughts

    It seems that all anyone can talk about since last week's Super Bowl is the halftime show performed by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Everything from slut-shaming to diet culture has been brought up in conversation surrounding the event, and I am here today to lay down my two cents.

    Accepting People As Multidimensional Beings

    At the end of the day, there will be criticism no matter what. What truly matters is your ability to believe in yourself, think critically, and act in a way that empowers you. Instead of feeling shame surrounding what you do or do not do with your body, I want you to feel the confidence to create a space that feels right for you.

    Before you place judgment on J.Lo and Shakira's halftime show, I encourage you to get thinking and consider different angles other than your own before imposing your viewpoint on those who may be easily impressed. It is up to us to promote a culture of body acceptance without body discrimination, and that can only happen by accepting people as multidimensional beings.

    Today I ask the questions necessary to help you navigate the space of having conversations with young women that empowers sexuality in a way that promotes respect from everyone, including yourself.

    Are you ready to join in on the discussion? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • How to acknowledge that you are more than just a body as a woman (10:50)
    • Addressing the either-or paradigm of modesty to sluttiness in society (11:32)
    • Why you can be an autonomous woman while still being a sexualized being (17:05)
    • Comparing white male performance standards to that of this Superbowl (20:43)
    • Tips for sitting with the things that make you uncomfortable before judging (27:14)

    Quotes

    "There are all sorts of things about women and how they show up in the world and how we value women and their bodies, and the double standards that exist between different types of women and their bodies, between men and women in their bodies." (5:55)

    "If they were completely covered in what is considered modest clothing, there would still be a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of commentary about their bodies, how they showed up." (9:29)

    "You can explore and express yourself through your clothes, how you actually show up in the world. But that is not the only thing that matters about you." (15:53)

    "We want to teach them to have self-respect, but we also, I get the sense most people want to let their kids be who they are." (23:27)

  • Unpacking Emotions & Body Liberation w/ Jess Demasi

    When it comes to our journey of body liberation there can be some boundaries, including the processing of emotions. Jess Demasi is a certified eating psychology coach, the founder of Wholly Healed and is passionate about helping people redefine health without diet culture. Today Jess is here to encourage you to give yourself permission to define what it is to be a woman in this life for you and only you.

    Create A Radical Sense Of Awareness

    This episode is all about unpacking some of the stigmas and privileges that we can all unknowingly carry, and taking a step back without judgment but instead with curiosity to keep asking yourself the hard questions when it comes to your relationship with your body.

    Jess is on a mission to create a radical sense of awareness and help women unapologetically show up as who they are. Today is all about gaining skills to develop your own sense of liberation, whatever that may be for you, and removing judgment towards what you are feeling in a healthy way.

    You are more than just your body, and it is through the separation of your identity and your body that you can deal with what is really going on internally and heal yourself from the inside out. By asking the hard questions and feeling where the healing needs to come from you can learn to care for yourself and become your own autonomous agent.

    Are you ready to start on your path to liberation? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • Learn about the role of desirability privilege and desirability politics in our society (10:10)
    • Deconstructing body autonomy and being aware of your own motivations (20:12)
    • How to embrace your journey of liberation as an experience just for you (23:20))
    • Tips for living a liberated life and showing up as who you are unapologetically (26:05)
    • Ways to use the RAIN acronym to process your emotions in a healthy way (28:42)

    Quotes

    "Being thin and pretty as a woman should not be a pre-requisite for the value that we're given, nor should it be a requirement for our existence." (5:46)

    "Any time we have what we call the happiness destination paradox, where we imagine that our emotions, our internal world, would be different if our external world was different. That is when you have that chasm, and you are taking internal issues that should be worked on internally and you are projecting them onto your external appearance." (15:07)

    "I am here to ask the questions to get you thinking, and then what you do with that is completely your responsibility." (21:01)

    "All that I can ask for is a radical sense of awareness." (22:23)

    "I don't think that the world benefits from women who are living to please other people. I think that actually what we desperately need, for kindness and compassion and to solve the world's problems, in our individual lives and in the larger aspect of the world, is women showing up in their completely whole, authentic selves."

  • 5 Ways To Build Body Respect

    Building body respect is all about coming back to our default states, without the pressure of shame or negativity. It takes an unlearning of what society has tried to tell us matters about our bodies and becoming at peace with the fact that your body is just one small piece of who you are.

    Your Body Is One Small Piece Of Who You Are

    In this episode, I share with you five of the best ways that you can start to build body respect for yourself and for those around you. Instead of indulging in the shame game, you can start to learn body acceptance and listen to your intuition on a day to day basis with these simple and effective strategies.

    Your body is not the most important thing about you, despite what diet culture and society says. By getting clear on the goodness that you have intrinsically, instead of placing a premium on our own bodies and others, you can embrace gratitude for your right here and now body.

    Are you ready to start building body respect and get clear on who you are besides just a body? Join us on the episode page and let us know what steps you are taking to create body respect in the comments on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • Understanding the difference between body positivity and body neutrality (10:37)
    • Why you need to stop body checking and measuring yourself and others (16:10)
    • Tips for shopping for clothes in a way that fits your here and now body (20:34)
    • The importance of constant awareness when creating positive thoughts (23:50)
    • How to create new habits and embrace gratitude for your body moving forward (25:20)

    Quotes

    "We can be critical of the diet culture while having compassion for people who are moving through this process on their own." (6:48)

    "Soon after we enter this world, we start to lose our own abilities as an intuitive eater, but that is our default state." (9:02)

    "When you are faced every day with putting on the pair of whatever clothing item is not fitting your here and now body, for a lot of people this only kicks the day off with anxiety and the not good enough-ness" (19:27)

    "Your worth is not in the size of your body, it's not. And I know that that is hard for a lot of us." (21:36)

    "Who are you aside from just your body? Because I bet if you asked your five closest friends who love you to pieces and would do anything for you… I bet if you asked them what they appreciate and love about you the most, they are not going to say what the size of your body is." (29:02)

  • My 2020 Theme + Meditation

    A few years ago I was introduced to intention setting, and it has changed the way I view my world. Setting an intention or a theme for your year can help you focus on being less frustrated with what you can't figure out and more grateful for what is already in your life. In this episode, I am sharing my thoughts and intentions for my own journey in 2020 with you, and providing some insight into the full circle role meditation has played in this discovery.

    Embracing The Softness & Finding Strength In Vulnerability

    Sometimes there is strength in the softness of surrendering and letting go of what is not working for you. This episode is dedicated to embracing that softness and finding strength in vulnerability.

    Do you have a theme for 2020? Share it with me in the comments on the episode page!

    In This Episode

    • The importance of intention and theme when setting yourself up for success (5:35)
    • What to do if you are struggling with feeling burned out (7:50)
    • Learn my 2020 theme and how I came to discover it (9:47)
    • Explore what could happen if you give into surrendering (15:40)
    • The role of meditation in reconnecting to the Universe (19:32)

    Quotes

    "Quite a few years back now I think I decided to start setting intentions, and I think I first learned about this from Jen Sinkler, and it just really resonated with me. For whatever reason, that is what I was needing at that time in my life." (7:26)

    "Over the past few years it has become really clear to me that strength sometimes is in the letting go, strength is oftentimes in the softness and the quiet times, and strength is multifactorial and multidimensional." (12:38)

    "To me, I always thought surrendering meant giving up, giving in, quitting, and sometimes it does, and that's okay!" (15:46)

    "The challenge to me is openness, and that to me is part of surrender." (21:09)

  • How To Listen To Your Body

    We are all born as intuitive eaters, but through socialization and diet culture, we often drift away from the intuition that we hold from the beginning. I want to persuade you to get back to your true nature and increase your health-promoting behaviors through intuitive eating.

    Prime Yourself To Pay Attention To Your Signals

    Diet culture will have you believe that you should stay miserable even when you are not seeing the results you desire, just because it is familiar. Today is the day for you to challenge yourself, break out of that mold, and start building the capacity to listen to your body.

    Instead of glorifying weight loss, it is time to prime yourself to pay attention to your signals of hunger and fullness and start to become more connected and aware of what your body is trying to tell you. How do you work to harness your intuition and embrace intuitive eating? Share your strategies with us in the comments on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • How to listen to your body even if you aren't currently on speaking terms (6:40)
    • Why sometimes not all weight loss is good or a sign of improved health (9:35)
    • The importance of healing your relationship with food and movement (12:00)
    • Learn the difference between intuition, intuitive eating and interoceptive awareness (14:40)
    • Explore the connection between your physical sensations and your emotions (19:50)

    Quotes

    "I guess you could say that intuitive eating or intuitive nutrition and movement is kind of my jam." (2:40)

    "Oftentimes you get to a point in your life where you realize that dieting as we know it, dieting for the pursuit of rapid weight loss and so on and so forth, is not working for you anymore." (8:08)

    "Diet culture wants to present that it is harmless, in fact, it is what you should be doing, so lets address health-promoting behaviors instead." (10:25)

    "Not only are physical sensations something that you can sense, but your feelings also create a sensation in your body." (20:14)

A doctor of physical therapy as well as a personal trainer, Dr. Jen helps women navigate the intersection between their bodies and the physical and mental benefits of strength training. Providing a unique perspective as a physical therapist existing in the world of body image, fitness, and diet culture, Dr. Jen is here to tell you to stop obsessing over being perfect and start finding what works for you.

    Overcome The Struggle Of Not Feeling Good

    After years of being fed wellness information centered around the perfect body and being obsessed with fat loss, Dr. Jen said enough is enough and started creating legitimate informational resources to help others take care of themselves. Now Dr. Jen works to help you build up your capacity, overcome the struggle of not feeling good in your body, and show up for yourself no matter what.

    Strength and resistance training can help you feel comfortable in your own skin, achieve optimal bone density and build strength to challenge and heal your body. If you are new to the strength training world or are wanting to get back into the driver's seat when it comes to your routine, Dr. Jen is the role model that you need to know about. Are you ready to honor your body with strength and resistance training exercises that keep things simple and feeling good? Share your thoughts about Dr. Jen's episode in the comments on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • Why you should stop blaming your body and start blaming the clothes (13:05)
    • Beginner tips for integrating yourself into strength and resistance training (20:10)
    • Breaking down the barbell as a tool for strength training and its limitations (31:35)
    • How to build up your capacity through stress recovery and adaptation (41:30)
    • Understanding that your identity is more than your fitness persona and progress (52:15)

    Quotes

    "Picking up the barbell and seeing how strong I was was the big catalyst for me personally, changing and realizing, 'oh, my body is more than just an ornament for other people to enjoy'." (10:41)

    "Whatever age you are now, let's get a little bit of weight on your body, let's get those bones built up a little bit. Because when you are 80, and a little misstep happens, you are going to be so thankful that you had a little load." (19:51)

    "As a physical therapist and a healthcare provider, I will preach a message that I think every woman should try to get some sort of resistance training in because it is just too important for our bodies as they age not too." (28:03)

    "If you can accomplish the same goal or task or purpose that you are trying to accomplish with a barbell but you are also at the risk of feeling in pain or uncomfortable, then let's see if there is something else that maybe is another tool that can still help you accomplish that task but not wit the same risk or not the same discomfort." (36:43)

    "It doesn't matter where you are at in your life, there are different seasons in the way things are going to be prioritized, and you always can get back to it." (51:25)

  • Wellness'ing So Hard

    The new year is often accompanied by self-judgment and 'shoulds' that make us feel horrible about ourselves. Instead of giving in to this global collective of exhaustion around wellness and the next diet trend, I invite you to embrace the new decade without the shame, blame and guilt cycle of societal standards.

    Pushing Yourself To Wellness Harder Isn't Moving Your Health Ahead

    You don't have to get sucked into the crappy new year marketing of becoming a better you while making yourself miserable. Its time to stop feeling overwhelmed, confused or fed up with this pattern of expectations and energy focused around how you look instead of the intention you put into things.

    Pushing yourself to wellness harder is not actually moving your health ahead if it is causing stress, anxiety, and shame. It all comes down to autonomy and listening to your internal voice of motivation, and this episode is all about providing you with the skills and mindset to do that.

    Are you ready to stop putting pressure on Jan 1 and do things your own way? Share your mindset going into the new year with us in the comments on the episode page.

    In This Episode

    • Addressing the overwhelm surrounding wellness and high sensitivity (10:30)
    • How to make decisions and show up for yourself anywhere on the spectrum (13:40)
    • Why stressing out over healthy choices or wellness is making you less healthy (17:50)
    • Strategies for dealing with society's 'should's' and other things to watch out for (18:30)
    • Things that you can do if you are feeling the pressure of wellness'ing harder (20:14)

    Quotes

    "We get into these comparisons where we see other people doing things or we get that Jan 1 or whatever the significant date in the year is and we think 'okay I am going to get my ass into gear', which again is fine if it doesn't cause you to lose your fucking mind over it, and that's what I see happening very often" (9:52)

    "I sense very strongly this collective overwhelm and stress and exhaustion about wellness and its a double-edged sword." (12:34)

    "Please stop running your life and putting that pressure on yourself. If it brings you joy and you absolutely love, that's great." (15:18)

    "Food is not just macronutrients or calories to optimize. And I get that that can be helpful for some people at some times in their lives, however… stressing out about healthy changes or stressing out about wellness is doing the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve, it is making you less well." (18:07)

    "Its autonomy, choice, freedom to make decisions, that's what it really comes down to. So are you freely choosing this or are you doing it because somebody told you its the right way to do things?" (21:30)

    Quotes

    "People see these injuries and they are like 'that sucks', and its like, you decided to participate in sports outside of athletics, you are challenging your body, that is inherent to whatever you are going to do. So you almost need to relish in the fact that you did it because guess what, you are participating." (16:36)

    "Everything that your body is doing is secondary to what you did to it. Don't be mad at your body, that's what happens when you repetitively do the same thing over and over again." (20:33)

    "Go walk in the sand and see how sore your feet get. But then in the same amount of time, take your hands and start grabbing the sand and see how sore your hands aren't. We use our hands because they are meant to be used. Our feet are meant to be tactile and move around the world but then we put them in these protective features because everybody is worried about stepping on something." (34:52)

    "Use your body, enjoy that you are using your body, just because you are hurt it doesn't mean that you are injured, keep working, love what you do, don't wear crew socks with sandals and don't wear shoes." (53:03)
