April 22, 2021#62: How to Support Someone with an Eating Disorder: Warning Signs, What To Say, and How to Help
Something I get asked all the time is "How do I support a loved one who's showing signs of an eating disorder?" In this episode, I answer that question by talking about the major warning signs of an eating disorder and how to address them. If you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or someone who is close to someone who's exhibiting these signs, please talk to them and encourage them to reach out for help.
You will learn...
The major warning signs, symptoms, and personality traits of someone with an eating disorder
How to talk to them about it
What you can do to help (and what you should NOT do)
Remember: supporting your loved ones is important, but you can’t help anyone who doesn’t want to be helped nor is it your job to “fix” anyone. Make sure you are setting an example by taking care of yourself, too.

April 15, 2021#61: Stop Trying to Be Happy (and Do This Instead)
In this solo episode I talk about why “being happy” is not that great of a goal. Chasing happiness might leave you feeling empty because happiness is a fleeting feeling. Instead, I invite you to let go of the expectation that you must be happy all the time, and instead, focus on creating MEANING in your life.
You will learn...
How hedonic adaptation gets in the way of our happiness, no matter how much we achieve or accomplish in life
Why searching for happiness is NOT good for body-image
Tips for creating more meaning in your everyday life
Remember: Happiness is fleeting. Meaning is fulfilling. Ditch the happiness treadmill and start creating more meaning in your everyday life.
