Get INTUIT with Gila- a podcast about Intuitive Eating and Personal Growth.

Lauren came on the pod to share her experience going from a corporate mom to "work from home mom." Not only is she a "work from home" mom, her job is to help new mom's.

She understands the importance of a positive birthing experience for the mom, the baby & everyone else in mom's orbit.

You may have guessed that she didn't have the most positive birthing experience when she started out as a mom. This led her to look for answers for the positive birth she hoped &dreamed of. Now she helps women do the same.

We had a very honest conversation about all the ups & downs of becoming a mom. The intensity of pregnancy, birth and post partum. The things people don't like to talk about b/c they are scared they will look like they can't "do it all."

People are told 2 have babies but don't LOOK like you had a baby. People make comments about a pregnant body even though this may be the most vulnerable time for that pregnant mom and her body.

We wanted to shed light on these topics. I think Lauren is providing an amazing service. I think many people may shy away from this - thinking maybe its a luxury or it makes them week to ask for help. I strongly believe looking at a whole person when caring for them and things that will help them in the future are needs and not luxuries. Asking for help makes you strong and self aware, NOT WEAK.

Enjoy the episode! I can't wait to hear your feedback!

Hello wonderful listeners of mine.

You may (or may have not) realized that I have not been able to put out a podcast for a few weeks.

Life is busy right?!

I wanted to shamelessly plug my podcast here for a second.

Recently, a former client wrote me this text: "Hi Gila, just wanted to share something with you that I know you’ll enjoy. I just realized today that I am marrying off my son soon and didn’t spend any of the wedding prep time dieting or hoping to fit into a smaller size. I’m continuing to eat the same intuitively as I was before the engagement and not stressed at all about losing the weight. My mind is cleared out in a way that I can enjoy all the wedding prep with out the diets taking up my brain space. Thanks Gila for helping reach this milestone."

I know that the work of Intuitive Eating is life changing. I know it has the ability to completely change our life's trajectory and allows us to learn skills that help us day to day.

I really want to continue putting out this podcast but it takes A LOT of TIME! I would be so grateful and humbled if you'd want to sponsor an episode or become a monthly subscriber for a nominal fee. You can do so here. And I know that is a lot to ask. So even if you cannot do this at this time, please continue to leave ratings and reviews and share the podcast! That is extremely helpful too!!

Thanks for being here!

Now- Dr. Marcy Forta has been on this podcast before. She just recently published a book! The name of the book is "How can I Help my Daughter?" All of us who have daughters- don't we all need this book!

(Here is the link to the first podcast I did with Dr. Forta)

I am so excited to read it and help spread the word. Dr. Forta has struggled with an eating disorder herself and now she is on a mission to really spread awareness and help with the prevention of eating disorders through her amazing curriculum and speaking engagements.

I invite you to listen to this episode with an open heart and if it resonates with you, buy the book to help empower yourself through these conversations we MUST have with our children.

I am just going to be honest, I really like Tamari! I have seen her a lot on Instagram and I recently met her in person at Kosher Palooza. She is sweet, warm and also a lot of fun.

I was excited to have her come on the podcast.

I think this podcast really encapsulates the concept that we can actively being accepting something while also hoping for it the change.

This can be a common theme in life. On the one hand, we feel very stuck when we cant accept what is. On the other hand, we are always allowed to dream and hope for more.

I think this connects to the day after Tisha Baav. Where we are yearning so badly for a brighter future. And at the same time, we accept G-d's decree because we know that we don't know and He does know.

I know you'll love this episode and Tamari.

A bit about Tamari:

Tamari Jacob is a Certified Lactation Counselor, wife, mom of three and the founder of One With The Pump.  She has helped thousands of moms learn how to pump better and she is on a mission to help every mom become a confident mother pumper through her free resources, live workshops, educational courses and consultations. _______________________

We often use food to help us cope with hard things in life. And yes, sometimes, that can be the best thing we can give ourselves. But sometimes we just keep filling ourselves up with food in the hopes of removing the pain - but that is never the real answer.

Hey all! Don't forget to sign up for my upcoming webinar on July 17th on 12:00pm- Dispelling Dieting Myths. Sign up right here: https://gilaglassberg.com/items/dispelling-diet-myths

I am excited to re-air this episode with Sylky Resnicoff- all about Pia Mellody's work. The last episode I aired with Rachel Lebowitz- she actually referenced this when speaking about her work with codependency. So go and give it a listen! Don't forget to like and share this episode! It really helps me continue to make this podcast possible!

In today's episode, I spoke with Sylky Resnicoff.

Sylky is a certified family life coach and specializes in relational trauma. She has extensively studied Pia Mellody’s work, who is an expert in codependency, now called developmental immaturity. Pia Mellody believes that we are all born whole, as experts about ourselves, but as life goes on we lose this confidence in ourselves. If we're not given what we need in childhood, our growth can get stunted. She also helps women whose husbands are struggling with pornography addiction. She offers support groups, consultations and educational lectures because it’s traumatic to discover your husband has an addiction like this. There is a lot of shame involved. Sylky empowers women to educate themselves and see that they have choice instead of feeling helpless.

Sylky became a family life coach and thought it was fascinating. She thought she could reinvent herself with everything she had learned but began to realize that this wasn’t enough. She needed to go to the parts of her that were broken. Sylky learned that you’re only as strong as your foundation is deep and she realized she was lacking in her own foundation. She was learning a lot about healing, yet she felt a void that wasn’t getting filled. She hit rock bottom at a certain point and a therapist introduced her to Pia Mellody’s work. Pia’s work comes with a lot of training so Sylky went and did an intensive workshop. For the first time, she really got her family history straight;  what she needs, what her children need and what her role in the family really was. Mellody teaches that anything less than nurturing is abusive to the child whether it’s overt abuse or covert abuse. You may not realize abuse walking into someone’s house. The parents may be very well respected but emotionally there may be neglect or harm done. Most people are not trying to hurt their children on purpose. For example, using the silent treatment can make a child feel like he doesn’t exist, so this can be a form of abuse for a child. This may affect a child later on in life. There are so many people who think that they are made wrong while in reality there’s nothing wrong with me but with the messages I was given as a child. We work through this our entire lives.

When many parents learn about this they get nervous that they’re making mistakes and covertly abusing their kids. However, when parents act in a genuine fashion and are good role models for their kids, their kids will see this. Your children just need to build up a good image of you. Pia’s work is all about being human but being able to grow and change. If we nurture our inner child, parenting will become a much more natural process. Parents nowadays need more guidance. Every person who works on themselves knows that parenting is about growing yourself as a person. You can do certain things to help remind you who you want to be, like checking in on your kids everyday, but it’s also about doing your own work. When we do our own work we relate to our marriage differently, we are more open to have harder conversations, we can own up to things and we’ll have more strength to hear our children without taking things personally.
