Shirley T Burke is a national presenter, speaking on issues that span the subject of developing and maintaining healthy self-esteem. Affectionately known as “Shirley T”, she grew up with the same self-esteem challenges that millions of people face every single day. Yet, now, she walks through life with a sense of style, warmth, humor and acceptance that only comes from having learned how to be truly comfortable in her own skin. She communicates with purpose, acceptance, warmth, and soulful intention.

She founded the Esteem Institute as a platform to offer transformational programs, classes and workshops to individuals and organizations who welcome personal and professional growth. A strong believer in whole body (mind, body and spirit) confidence, Shirley T’s programs are multidimensional, often including a combination of physical activity (movement), motivational messages and self-discovery exercises. As a plus-size woman, she is also a walking, talking example of how a person’s size does not equate to core confidence and a healthy lifestyle.

- Listeners will get a feel for the importance of self-care and self-talk.

- The importance of owning your resilience in our everyday life.

- How the power of the spoken word is underrated in our lives.

- How motion and emotion plays a part in us feeling grateful daily.

Michelle May, MD has discovered that many people, women particularly,  struggle with a difficult love-hate relationship with food. Eating can become a way to cope with stress, time pressure, competing priorities, distraction, and caring for others. In addition, in our food-abundant, diet-obsessed culture, eating is often mindless, consuming, and guilt-inducing. During this podcast, we will explore mindful eating: an ancient mindfulness practice with profound modern implications and applications.

We will talk about:

• Why diets don’t work.
• How to tune into your body wisdom to guide your eating.
• How to recognize environmental and emotional triggers for overeating. 
• Why exercise should never be used as punishment for eating.
• How to build a self-care buffer zone.
