ARE YOU READY FOR THE LATEST EPISODE OF THE “HAVE YOU EATEN” PODCAST? 🥳

In this upcoming series of podcasts, we will be focusing on the central theme of reimagining. This time of the year is usually fraught with concern about how we can improve and change ourselves for the better, so we invite our listeners to consider a different kind of New Year’s Resolution this year. How can we develop empathy for people that we might not currently understand? How can we approach situations that we are not familiar with? Even when we are not sure how to go forward, how can we use threads of our common humanity to imagine what could be?

In this episode, we invite you to reimagine the digital workplace - a new reality that many of us are grappling to adjust to.

Our special guest in this episode is leadership coach and change agent, Sonja Robinson, who has spent the last 25 years in business development, consulting, and coaching in the talent management space. We talk about how we can learn to see this time of instability and unfamiliarity as an opportunity to grow, how we can align our purpose with our impact, and how we can take care of ourselves and others during this disorienting time.

In this episode, we invite you to reimagine eating disorders - deadly mental health conditions that are too often misunderstood by the general public.

Our special guest in this episode is eating disorder specialist, psychotherapist, and dietitian Gabrielle Tuscher. We talk about what eating disorders are, how the line between “harmless dieting” and disordered eating can be very blurred, why societal misconceptions about eating disorders are harmful, and how you can start developing a healthier relationship with food and your body.
