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!
