As we step into the new year, it's common to run into a bunch of toxic temptations, right? Well, Vic’s here to shift that focus. Instead of feeling the pressure to change your body, this episode is all about realigning and tuning into what we really want, which is peace. Victoria lined up six powerful body affirmations she uses herself to stay grounded, grateful, and respectful towards her body. They're perfect for steering your mindset towards joy, especially if you're planning any changes this year. Vic also dives into her own journey with body image and takes a look at the whole Ozempic and weight loss trend that spiked in 2023. Say these affirmations out loud, jot them down, and bring them out whenever you need that extra boost of positivity. We're hoping this episode helps ease any stress or anxiety you might be feeling from all that new year diet culture talk. Thanks for joining us and for spending a bit of your first week of 2024 with Real Pod!

Allisen Corpuz is an American professional golfer and member of the LPGA Tour. She won the 2023 U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach, but before that, she was a student-athlete at the University of Southern California (just like Vic!) on the USC Women's Golf team. In today’s conversation, Vic and Allisen talk candidly about the moments in their sports careers where they almost walked away, and what it took for Allisen to move past her doubts and fears to achieve her dream of becoming a title-winning professional golfer. They also get real about the mental work and mindset shifts required to compete at that level and beyond, and how she gracefully deals with stress and pressure. Allisen’s outlook is not only inspiring but impressive, highlighting how putting in consistent work (she’s played golf for 17 years!) is just one piece of finding success as a professional athlete. Whether you want to be best in your craft like Allisen, are grappling with the fear of not being good enough, or simply want to be able to show up at an elite level in life, she’s sharing her recipe for success in this episode. We are rooting for Allisen and can’t wait to watch her professional journey!

Shanta Loecker, an anti-oppression facilitator and educator, reached out to Vic four years ago to offer advice on how she could grow and include more people in her mission. Ever since, Shanta and Vic have collaborated to delve into privilege, oppression, racism, and strategies for effecting change. In 2020, Shanta founded 75/25 Impact and currently applies her skills as a creative, complex problem solver and critical thinker to partner with organizations in numerous fields, including the nonprofit sector, health sciences, athletics, small business, and education. In this episode, Shanta generously offers insights into how we can prioritize humanity, community, inclusivity, and make a meaningful impact. Like most of us, Victoria admits to not always getting it right, but we hope this conversation encourages you to embrace imperfection and engage in critical thinking about everyday issues anyway. We love Shanta and the work she does, and are grateful that she’s sharing it here on Real Pod!

Evelyn Tribole is a renowned and award-winning dietitian who is one of the two “founding mothers” (as Vic likes to say!) of Intuitive Eating. She has been featured on Good Morning America and is a best-selling author of 10 different books on Intuitive Eating (IE), which is an evidence-based, compassionate, self-care eating framework, rooted in dignity and respect for all bodies. Evelyn is one of the main reasons why IE has grown and evolved into an important cultural movement over the last 30 years. The holidays can be a very overwhelming time when it comes to Intuitive Eating, body image and self-acceptance, and this is the perfect episode to help you manage whatever comes your way! In this episode, Victoria and Evelyn talk about how mesmerizing and tempting diet culture is, how to pursue intuitive eating EVEN IF you’re still not happy with your body, how to talk about food or respond to comments at Thanksgiving, and share so many helpful tips and mental frameworks that will give you the confidence you need to find peace with food!
