If you're looking to be in the best health of your life, cultivating a strong connection with the language of your body is paramount.
By honing our ability to listen to the subtle whispers and cues of our physical and emotional selves, we empower ourselves to make informed decisions that support our overall well-being.
Through the practice of connecting scattered parts, we lay the foundation for this profound dialogue with our bodies, enabling us to tap into our innate wisdom and intuition.
Welcome to the third installment of our grounding series, where we delve into the art of reconnecting scattered parts to reclaim our inner balance, presence and connection with felt sense in the body. In this session, I invite you to join me in a beautiful guided practice.
Picture yourself like a flock of birds suddenly startled into flight, their once harmonious grounded formation scattered across the sky. Similarly, parts of ourselves often feel fragmented amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. But just as those birds seek to realign and find their way back together, we too yearn for a sense of wholeness and alignment.
Grab your headphones, find a comfortable place to sit or lie down and immerse yourself into this practice.
Feel free to share this practice with anyone who may need it. It's a great tool to use when feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or in need of a moment to feel present and connected.

Today, we're diving deep into the delicious dilemma of why we often find ourselves succumbing to the siren call of indulgence, despite our best intentions to resist that extra cupcake, chocolate bar, or, in my case this week, the irresistible allure of grandma's ginger cake.
We'll unravel the mysteries behind our seemingly insatiable cravings and explore the perplexing question: why is it so darn difficult to just say no and stick to it?
We'll delve into the psychology of overindulgence, examining the H.A.L.T acronym to uncover the hidden motivations driving our behaviors when we know deep down that we'd rather exercise restraint.
But here's the kicker: we'll also uncover why relying solely on willpower is like trying to paddle upstream without a paddle. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work in the long run.
So buckle up, my fellow food enthusiasts, as we unravel the five reasons why we often find ourselves reaching for that extra bite when we know we shouldn't. Sure, it's easy to exercise control when we want to, but what about those moments when our appetites seem to have a mind of their own? That's where things get interesting.
So grab your fork and let's dig in as we explore the intricate dance between mind, body, and food in the quest for mindful eating and inner healing. Welcome to the delicious dilemma. Let's feast on the wisdom together.

Bring yourself into a state of love and acceptance for all parts of your magnificent self with this introspective meditation. Best enjoyed with earphones on.
We all just want to beloved and accepted for who we are right now, not for who we were or who we may possibly become in the future.
Just as we yearn for acceptance in our relationships with others, our own bodies crave this same tenderness.
Today we take the journey of opening our hearts to the present image of our bodies in the world, letting the wide flowing current of compassion wash away the judgments of the past and the uncertainties of the future.
Embracing the sacred masterpiece of our bodies in this very moment, we navigate the gentle waves of self-discovery, allowing the river of self-love to carry us toward an
embrace of our authentic selves, mending the frayed relationship between mind and body.

It absolutely broke my heart today.
I spoke to this really lovely man who told me he's 64 years old and who's been dieting since he was 10 years old. He said
"Now that I'm getting older it's really taking its toll on my health and my knees"
and he said "I want to grow old"
and he kind of stopped and choked a little bit and continued
"I want to grow old and still be able to move and enjoy my life. I've been on every diet".
He said, Larissa "I even tried the carnivore diet recently because all these people on the internet seem to be losing weight and you know what happened"?
And I said, what?
Defeatedly he replies " I put on weight".
So this brings me to this week's topic on the podcast, which is all about food freedom.

Life can be really hard at times, and the body a really painful place. It can be a place of fear, distress, scarcity, sorrow, pain and even loss. All of these bear a heavy burden on the human spirit. In the pursuit of solace, many of us turn to a seemingly comfortable companion, FOOD.
In today's episode, we're going to delve into the intricate relationship between stress and our eating habits.
We'll explore the depths of emotional connections to food and unravel the physiological mechanisms at play here and discover evidence-based strategies to navigate the turbulent waters of stress-induced eating.
It's time to understand why we eat when we're stressed and more importantly know how we can break free from this cycle.
So, let's embark on this journey together, where every bite becomes a mindful union, and every meal becomes an opportunity for self-discovery and transformation.
