This episode is a list of the things I am leaving behind in 2022, from dangerous TikTok diets to keeping uncomfy clothes, we're ditching the diet culture and regaining our trust in ourselves and honoring our bodies with compassion.

  • new year's goals: make them & stick to them intuitively

    It's a new year (at least when I'm recording this) so let's talk about those new years resolutions. On this podcast, I talk about and answer the following questions: What kinds of goals might I actually keep and are rooted in goodness? How can you make anti-diet and intuitive goals? How can I make goals that are actually good for my health?

  • Things I Didn't Realize Were Disordered Eating

    Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of things and habits that I used to have that I didn’t even realize at the time were disordered or signs of disordered eating. I think a lot of us fall into these thoughts or habits, so today, I wanted to talk about these signs and how to move past them, so you might be able to recognize them in yourself and seek help OR just check your thoughts and actions. This episode talks about examples from my life and gives examples of how to overcome cognitive distortions.

    • Holiday Diet Culture
      Welcome to Not So Niche, a health and wellness podcast where we dissect the unattainable narrative we’ve been given about health and start to see it as something for everyone and every body. I’m your host, Arianna Kae and I’m a fitness instructor, wellness advocate, and someone who has struggled with a broken view of health for a long time. Join me as I discover ways to view ourselves and our wellness as whole and beautiful. 
      Today we’re talking about diet culture and the holiday season. I find in my own life that narratives around the holiday can have a big impact on the way I perceive myself and diet culture around me, so I wanted to talk a bit about that today. I also asked questions to my Instagram followers, so I read questions and responses from them as well.
