Quit Dieting for Good

In today's solocast, I discuss how to accept your body and what to do about your desire to lose weight from an intuitive eating approach.

If you know the principles of Intuitive Eating, you know that weight loss should not be a focus on your journey. But can you still learn how to eat intuitively and desire to lose weight?

The short answer is yes, you can still want to lose weight while learning how to eat intuitively. But the long answer is explained here - how to accept your body as it is in this current moment and what to do with your dreams of losing weight one day.

If you struggle with accepting your body as it is and still want to lose weight, but are tired of dieting, this episode is just for you! Take a listen and share it with others to pass on the message to women that need it.

If you'd like to surround yourself with women that are done with diets and ready to learn how to love their bodies and eat intuitively, please join my free Intuitive Foodies Community! caitlinball.com/community

In today's episode, I talk with personal stylist and owner of Signature Five, Monika Mueller all about how to create a closet full of clothes that you absolutely love.

Monika helped me "detox" my closet back when I was a new mom and ready for a change. Since then, I've felt so much happier with my clothes everyday and I wanted her to share her techniques with you all.

She gives clear steps on where to start if you do want to create a closet you love, why you should have clothes you love no matter your size, what to buy now if you think you may change sizes in the future, and how to be confident when wearing new styles.

Whether you are ready for a simple refresh of your closet or a whole new wardrobe, Monika has tips for everyone, so take a listen!

In today's episode, I interview Morena Diaz; a primary school teacher, author of "Love your Body," and an instagram public figure advocating for food freedom and body positivity.

Morena shares her personal struggle with food and her body, and how the healing began when she ultimately realized that she didn't have to follow diet culture or unrealistic beauty standards.

Instead, she decided to take care of herself in a way that felt good to her, and along the way learned to love the body she is in, learned to eat without restriction, and learned how to prioritize herself everyday.

Listen in to learn Morena's advice on how to practice body love, how to accept weight gain, and how to love yourself so much that you want to spend time with just yourself! You will love her passion and feminist approach to intuitive eating and body love.

In this solocast, it's time we talk about a big topic that many women deal with on a regular basis: emotional eating!

It's easy to use food to suppress feelings, but it's a lot harder to actually FEEL your feelings.

Even though it's easy to eat when a negative emotion arises, it's also easy to overeat, making your feel uncomfortable in your body, and ultimately making you feel worse than before.

And I don't want you to do that to yourself any longer!

So today, I'm going to walk you through four steps you can take when a negative emotion arises so you can decide what action will actually benefit you, instead of making it worse.

Whether you eat when you are bored, stressed, sad, angry, lonely, or just want to know what the heck to do with all your feelings, this podcast episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm talking with a good friend and accredited dietician, Sandra Mikhail, who specializes in gut health and sports nutrition.

Sandra tells us about how diet has to be combined with stress management in order to truly feel good in your body. She has personally suffered from IBS and anxiety, and has had to learn the hard way, through stomach issues and panic attacks, on how to heal herself.

She gives us insight into how she manages her stress through many different self-care practices.

This episode is a great reminder that you have to keep practicing your self-care, even when you feel good, because you can't always tell how much stress your body is under.

Take a listen, as I know most all of us living in this modern world can use some advice on how to handle stress!

In today's solocast, I tell you all about how to eat what you want!

Sounds fun doesn't it?

It is fun! But it's also a little scary after restricting food for so long because you probably believe you will eat only pizza and ice cream for the rest of your life.

I promise you will eat a variety of foods and in this episode I break down what "eating what you want" really means. A little hint: your tastebuds aren't the only ones that get a say in the matter.
