Hunger is not a weakness, and not something you need to overcome! Remember, getting TOO hungry is only going to contribute to chaotic eating. We've talked about learning your body's interoceptive cues, we talked about the hunger fullness scale on the show before, but we've never discussed specifically the 4 types of hunger. In today's episode, we explore these types of hunger for you to explore in your intuitive eating journey.

Today's episode is brought to you by Primally Pure. Y'all know I'm not into the idea of things we put in or on our bodies as "toxic" BUT I do believe ingredients in our skincare can help support our skin health, just like how nourishing foods can positively impact our overall health. The reason I love the products is because my skin responds SO well to them.

In the dead of winter, my skin gets so dry so I have personally been loving the beauty cream, the soothing serum and baby balm (I apply this directly to my eyes and dry spots). Before I apply these products I also use the facial dry brush, which has helped with reducing the overall dryness of my face too.

Vanessa's business partner is her husband, Xander Marin. A lot of people on the internet call them "That Sex Couple." Vanessa's a licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of experience in the sex therapy field. Xander's a regular dude who's been married to a sex therapist for over a decade.

They will make you laugh while giving you the courage to talk openly about sex and relationships so you can have more fun in the bedroom.

In this episode we discuss:

• When Vanessa knew she wanted to study sex therapy as she was becoming a psychotherapist.

Hello my fellow recovering perfectionists! You are going to love today's conversation, with guest Kara Loewentheil, about how to truly create self confidence by rewiring your brain and thoughts, and letting go of perfectionist fantasies around New Year's resolutions.

Kara Loewentheil, J.D., is a Master Certified Coach, Host of the top-rated podcast UnF*ck Your Brain, and creator of The Clutch: A feminist mindset revolution. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, she did what every Ivy League feminist lawyer should do: Quit a prestigious academic career to become a life coach! Her Jewish parents have almost recovered; the fact that she built her business from zero to seven figures in three years didn't hurt. Five years after leaving the law she has taught thousands of women how to identify the ways that sexist socialization impacts their brains, and how to literally rewire their thought patterns to create true authentic confidence from within.

In this episode we discuss:

• Kara's journey from lawyer to becoming a master certified coach and starting her own business, podcast and coaching community.

• How thoughts create our feelings and impact our actions, and how to use the thought ladder to positively change this.

• New Year's Resolutions: Are they good goals or perfectionist fantasies?

• Three "women's empowerment" sayings that actually do a disservice for us in truly being empowered as women.

• What it truly takes to accept and love your body at any size.

• How to work towards neutral beliefs about your body to help change your body image.

• Kara shares about her amazing podcast, Unfuck Your Brain, and her coaching community, the Clutch.

• How Kara practices wellness without obsession.
