Get ready to have your mind blown with this episode! 

I interview renowned author and sociologist, Abigal Saguy, PhD. and professor at UCLA. She wrote the book "What's Wrong with Fat?" a book that explains how we came to view fatness as a public health crisis and explores the implications of this view. Through her research she found that public discussions of the "obesity crisis" do more harm than good, leading to bullying, weight-based discrimination, and misdiagnoses. In this episode, she explains the cultural, political & capitalistic reasons why fatness is now seen as pathological when it used to be seen as a sign of good health. If you have ever wondered how our society became so obsessed with weight- this episode is for you!

In this episode, I share what I learned from my decade-long battle with an eating disorder.  I have come to believe that it happened FOR me not TO me, so I could be the person I am today. If you are in the middle of a struggle with food I know how difficult it is to think that any good could come out of it when it is causing so much pain. But hopefully, this episode will plant a seed of possibility for what's available on the other side of healing. 

I also touch on how I turned my darkest dark into my brightest light. I now use this experience to help be of service to the world through my business. If you are an aspiring coach and want to learn how to build and impact-driven business lets talk! Shoot me a DM on IG.

In this episode, I interview Caitlin Greene from @Starinfinitefood

She candidly shares the story of her life, how she developed an eating disorder and eventually found healing. Like many, she is a high-achieving woman, self-described as a Type-A, and always looking for what's next. While these are qualities that can help you get ahead in life they can also lead you down a disordered path with food and exercise. 

Caitlin's story is one of inspiration and triumph, one that you will walk away from with hope.

In this episode, I interview one of my mentors and spiritual teachers, Jane Mayer. She struggled with an eating disorder, drug and alcohol addiction, and autoimmune disease. 

Her recovery process included several healing modalities but we focus on her work with plant medicine like ayahuasca and her connection to Spirit (or The Universe/God etc.). She opens up about her childhood trauma, and how her body has become her greatest teacher through it all. 

This is a fascinating interview and I hope you love it as much as I do!

In the episode, Jane references a study on Ancestral Trauma in mice. She let me know after the interview that she misspoke and wanted to make the correction. She said the mice experienced the trauma for seven generations, the study confirms 2 years. Fascinating no less! Here is a link to read for yourself

In this episode, I chat again with the incredible Brandilyn Tebo, a transformational life coach. 

Todays topic: Body Image, Body Shame, Body Hatred and how to heal. 

We share with you what is the missing link for most women when they are trying to heal their body image. The reason why so many women still struggle with body image even after trying to feel better about themselves is that what we are told will help us doesn't actually help. We explain why the most recommended strategies fail us in the long run and then share with you what actually makes the difference in real-long term freedom and confidence in your skin. 

We invite you to take this education further and deeper by joining us inside our brand new self-paced course, Embodied Rebel. 

You can learn about the course here to see if it's a great fit for you!

I hope it's helpful!
