Summer Innanen is one of the pioneers in the multi-faceted and multi-layered body image and disordered eating realm. While paying homage to the women who came before her, Summer works to highlight a woman's ability to embrace her body however it looks. Summer believes that your purpose if more than just your body and is here today to help you see the value outside of your body and overcome self-doubt and fear.
Truly Embrace Health At Any SizeIf you want to help those marginalized through weight stigma and discrimination, are looking for a friend to address the total chaos and body shame prevalent in new motherhood or are searching for a way to break free from the diet culture system, Summer is the expert for you. The self-professed 'anti-christ of weightloss', Summer wants you to stop your unhealthy relationship with food and start loving your body for all that it is.
All of the energy that you put towards constantly thinking about your body could be refocused into leading a more purposeful and passionate life and free up space in your mind for new thoughts and experiences. Once you embrace the fact that fat and thin are just mutual descriptors that hold no power over your ability to produce quality and substance you can truly embrace health at every size and become an advocate for treating yourself with kindness.
Are you ready to expose yourself to body diversity and stop perpetuating the idea that thinner is better? Share what you enjoyed most about Summer's attitude in the comments on the episode page.

Quotes
"It wasn't about the food, it was about the way they felt in their body. And so really shifting my gears to focus on that has been something I am really so grateful for." (13:42)
"I really want people to know that they are more than their bodies. That we don't need to make it about the body so much, we want it to be about what we have to say and our voices and our purpose." (17:29)
"I don't know what is going to happen to people's bodies. Their weight could go up, their weight could go down, it could stay the same. What we want to do is really create neutrality around those changes so they are not dictating our self-worth and how we feel about ourselves and our food choices and everything else." (26:30)
"It can be quite emotional and I think having someone helping you to process those things and see the deeper meaning and also the opportunities and the hope that can exist now that you are not a prisoner of that system." (37:47)
"Educate yourself on the link between weight and health and the success rates of diets. Because there is a lot that we can do with people's health by taking weight out of the equation." (43:46)

If what you are doing in your life doesn't seem to be working for you, and you want to explore some alternatives like learning how to re-become an intuitive eater, this is the episode for you. I am determined to dismiss some of the misunderstandings and misbeliefs surrounding intuitive eating and explore why it much less scary than people make it out to be.
Listening To Your Body & Treating It RightThis episode is not about shaming those who are involved with diet culture, but instead, it is about understanding the backlash and importance of conversation surrounding intuitive eating. Intuitive eating is not just about eating what you want when you want, it is about listening to your body and treating it right through your individualized nutrition needs.
I hope this episode takes away some of the mystique surrounding intuitive eating and empowers you to give it a chance. Our relationship with food is both simple and complex, and I truly believe that intuitive eating has the power to help you make peace with food and your body to ultimately start living in a way that honors your body and your soul.
What are your thoughts surrounding intuitive eating? Share what you are most excited about or nervous about in regard to this process in the comments on the episode page.
In This Episode
Quotes
"It is not as simple as saying 'here is how you do intuitive eating' and walking away from the person." (7:44)
"Hopefully we do that with health-promoting behaviors and not things that are really driving people to have negative relationships with food." (9:44)"Intuitive eating is not just a diet of 'eat this and don't eat that'. It is a process, its a living, breathing application of these principles that look different for every person." (12:41)
"Intuitive eating is a living, breathing process applied to a person in their life, it is an experience, it is something that you need to practice." (21:59)

In This Episode
Quotes
"Seeking for the underlying cause of whatever symptom it is that we are struggling within our life. Because I am of the belief that there is something deeper down." (17:43)
"Becoming conscious, becoming self-observational, watching ourselves throughout the day to identify then the areas where change would behoove us. For some of us, that is in our lifestyle, for me, I know it was." (23:49)
"Without consciousness, change, doing things differently, does not become possible." (24:50)
"As an adult, as far as I see it, while it was not our responsibility when we needed people to help us while we were children, as an adult it is now our responsibility to teach ourselves a new way." (36:04)
"The bottom line here is, when we define limits, it is for us. For us to continue to navigate these changes, continue to keep these changes as part of our life. And what it might mean is for us to start showing up differently before the others around us change." (42:59)
"Our energy and how we feel in our relationships can give us invaluable information." (56:09)

Honor Your Body's NeedsAutonomy Fitness is a space free from diet culture and exercise as punishment and combines the movement process with mental health self-care to improve your relationship with movement and your body. Kim wants you to feel good in your body, become okay with making mistakes and embrace your autonomy to do what you want when you want with your body.
An amazing, impactful and necessary space, Kim is here today to address weight stigma, intuitive eating and movement and help you honor your body's needs instead of trying to fit into our society's obsession with wellness culture.
We live in a society where thinner is better, and Kim is determined to bust those myths and stop the false truths that you are being fed about your body.

Quotes
"The word that originally stood out to me as one of my favorite therapy words, like how do I develop my sense of self as a person and a professional, is what guided me to open Austin's first size-inclusive body-positive fitness studio." (13:43)
"If I were just any old gym, and I didn't know what I knew about how destructive yo-yo dieting and compulsive exercising is to the body, it would be really great to just sort of blast everywhere I went. But with Autonomy what I think is really hard and really important is that every time I am marketing Autonomy I am having to clearly explain our values." (24:10)
"There is still another way to be living that is infinitely more compassionate. How much more does your world open up and expand when you give yourself permission to eat and more and exist in a way that actually is really intuitive to the body?" (37:32)
"There is nobody that is better than the next. Our bodies are the least interesting thing about us, especially because they are so dynamic, they are always going to keep changing." (42:55)
"I believe in body diversity 110%... and there is no such thing as a body that has more worth than another." (48:00)

Today on Harder To Kill Radio I am sharing a major announcement and letting you in on a personal issue that I hope will help those of you who are also struggling with burnout. While it has become more and more common in our society for us to feel exhausted and burnt out, it is not normal, and this universal concept needs to be addressed.
Struggling With BurnoutIf you feel as though you are struggling with a lack of creativity, motivation or mental health, burnout could be the culprit. By setting boundaries, focusing on self-care and being open with what you are dealing with, we can destigmatize and de-normalize burnout for the masses.
A lot of us are struggling with burnout while pretending we have it all together. If you are wrestling with burning out because you are trying to do all of the things, this is the episode you need to listen too. How do you protect yourself from getting burnt out? Share your self-care strategies with us in the comments on the episode page.
On Today's Episode
Quotes
"Although it is common, it is not normal to feel this way." (1:48)
"Entrepreneurs, we need to stop fucking pretending that we have it all figured out and that we are not struggling with this stuff." (14:39)
"These things are not revolutionary, but when we practice them we already set ourselves up for a lot of what goes into self-care. Because when we don't feel good in our body, it is really hard to make a change in these other areas. (23:35)
"It's okay to not be okay, it is important to ask for help, we cannot do this alone." (26:26)

Rachel Dash-Dougherty, better known as The Grounded Therapist, works with clients who struggle with disordered eating, perfectionism, and control when it comes to our food and our bodies. Today Rachel is here to address some of the myths and stigmas around mental health, help you understand where you are on the spectrum of how you relate to food and provide tips and guidelines to help you get a better foothold on life and your mental health.
Gaining Awareness And PeaceWhether you are working with a professional or trying to do this on your own, understanding how you interact with food and movement is the key to gaining awareness and peace. Instead of buying into diet culture, Rachel is here to help you work on your thoughts first, set boundaries and get a grip on your irrational thoughts.
Seeking help and changing the way you relate to food, diet, and movement is a brave thing, and with help of counselors like Rachel, you can tackle disordered eating, assert boundaries and look at your language around food to let go of perfectionism and control. Instead of beating yourself up, Rachel wants to help you be kind to yourself and shake those hilarious irrational thoughts out of your head for good.
Do you feel as though you display some of the indicators that your relationship with self-worth, body image, and food needs a second look? Share how you are working to be kinder to yourself in the comments on the episode page.
In This Episode
Quotes
"I put people back together so that they can go back out into the world and function." (11:22)
"The gray, which is my zone, that is where therapy happens is in the gray. You cant trap yourself like that because the world is not that simple of either its this or its this when there is so much in between." (19:12)
"You can think all day long, you can think horrible, violent scary thoughts. You can think wonderful rainbow unicorn fluffy thoughts, but none of them have any value or meaning unless you assign it to them." (26:42)
"It's not giving up, it's taking out a layer of suffering when you are already in pain." (32:28)
"That stuff is that person's stuff, it is not your stuff. So if they are lost in their own disordered eating, if they are lost in their weight loss challenges or whatever is going on for them, that does not mean you have to take it on, you don't have to believe the same thing other people believe." (46:03)
"You will get there faster, you will be less exhausted, you will accomplish that goal and you will enjoy the fruits of all that work you did because you were kind to yourself that whole time." (55:08)

Take a minute to ask yourself, would you still be doing what you are doing right now even if it meant you do not get the handsome payoff, arrival or 'I've made it' moment that you've been hoping for? The key to finding happiness and contentment in your life right now is to be grateful for right now, even when things get difficult.
Stop Putting False Promise On A PedestalThe promise of false arrival is something that everyone struggles with, and if you find yourself in the mindset of 'I will be happy when I achieve this thing', you need to take a look at your goals to figure out how to hold your process in tension with the outcome.
Everything that we want to achieve has a cost, be it energetically, monetarily or relationally, and it is only by keeping the cost of those goals in mind that you can become okay with holding things in tension. By finding and expressing gratitude for what you have in the present, noticing and changing your language around what you are doing and stepping back and navigating your hopeful outcomes, you can stop putting the false promise of arrival on a pedestal.

On Today's Episode
Quotes
"I think sometimes there is this idea that we will find that thing, that feeling, that state when we get that thing. And often this causes problems for a bunch of reasons." (13:32)
"We can hold these things in tension so that it is not 'either this or either that', but how can we see the nuance." (16:11)
"Here is the one thing I know: change is inevitable. Meaning, we might achieve the thing, we might arrive, we might have finally made it, how long is that going to last? I don't know. It might last forever, it likely may not." (18:55)
"Can we hold the process in tension with the outcome? I think so, if we are doing it in a healthy way. And only we get to assess that, is it worth what it's costing us? And that's really really important." (25:44)
"Ultimately, find things to feel content, grateful, happy, joyful about now, even when it is hard, even when things may not be going your way, there is always a lesson in there too." (29:20)

Quotes
"Now you get to go experience the process of getting messy in the kitchen and learning new techniques with one another and actually realizing that food can be fun and enjoyable, it doesn't have to be this chore or this negative either I'm eating healthy or I am not eating healthy foods." (12:03)
"You have to do what works for you and look at your plate because everyone is different." (17:25)
"If you want to live your healthiest, happiest life for the longest time possible, you don't want to be mimicking these elite athletes." (27:30)
"Think about yourself at 80 or 90 years old, would you still want to be tracking macros? And when I say that people laugh and I am like, 'exactly'. This is not a long term approach, this is not something you want to be tied down to forever." (35:51)
"I can make my own decisions when I go to these events and I can come out on the other side happy, healthy and feeling really good about myself while not affecting my health in a negative way." (51:57)
"You don't always have control over the situation, you may have to go to a party where you don't even get to bring food, but in the situations that you do, make it fun and make it food that you feel good about." (58:34)

The holidays are here regardless if we want them to be or not, and with that comes stress around what to eat, how to control your cravings and ultimately 'white-knuckling' your way through a time of year when you should be enjoying yourself.
Embrace The Holidays Without Losing Your Sh*TYou don't have to be on the defensive or walk on eggshells during this time of year. With a few mindset and intuitive eating strategies, you can embrace the holidays without losing your shit when it comes to food.
When you are able to practice setting boundaries, find the overlap between sustainable nutrition and intuitive eating and embrace the fact that you do not need to earn or burn your food, you can create a healthier relationship with food and everything that comes with this time of year.
Whatever stresses you have during the holidays, food shouldn't have to be one of them. Stop approaching the holidays as a chore and expand your viewpoint around intuitive eating during the holidays with this episode.
How do you manage your relationship with food during the holiday season? Share your approach with us in the comments on the episode page.
On Today's Episode
Quotes
"Today I want to offer this to you as we approach this time of year so that you could perhaps expand your own view of the world and get some transformation in this area if you have really been struggling with the idea of food and the holidays." (2:27)
"Finding the overlap between the world of sustainable nutrition/nutritional therapy and intuitive eating is messy and it's hard and it's confronting and it's challenging but it is very, very worth it." (9:20)
"Exercise has so many other amazing benefits, controlling weight is not one of them." (16:37)
"We don't need to abandon all of the things we normally do because there might happen to be fun foods laying around or fun foods in greater abundance. Come back to what you know." (24:40)
