Do you feel compelled to say “yes” to food during the holidays when someone offers you something that they made? Does saying “no” feel rude, or like some form of restriction brought on by diet culture?
If you’re like I used to be, you wrestle with wanting to say yes to people please, and to prove to yourself that you’ve broken all of your former dieting food rules. But you also want to be able to say no when you’re not hungry for something, or when your body is telling you that it’s not going to make you feel good.
With the holidays upon us, you know that Aunt Judy will be at the table telling you to take a piece of her pecan pie that she made just for you because she knows it’s your favorite. And your mom will want you to try the new cheese dip she made from a recipe she saw on TikTok.
We’re diving into how to politely say “no” when you don’t want to eat something, without feeling rude, and without it being diet-y or restrictive. (Spoiler - it starts with making peace with food in the first place.)
If you’re ready to make this the holiday season where you let your body lead you, so you can enjoy the foods you want, while also honoring your hunger and fullness, then you need to listen to this episode right now!
Episode Highlights:
-The importance of first having permission to say YES to food (so that saying no doesn’t feel like restriction)
-When and how to say NO to food during the holidays
-Scripts for ways you can politely say “no, thank you” and listen to your body when someone offers you food you’re not hungry for

It’s that time of year where you’re going to be seeing people you haven’t seen in a while, and if some of those people have lost a bunch of weight, it can feel really triggering. With GLP-1 medications being all the rage, it’s easy to assume that “everyone” is taking it.
This episode is about understanding and managing your own personal feelings about when other people lose weight. It can stir up feelings of jealousy, envy, anger, second-guessing yourself, insecurity, comparison, inadequacy, concern, annoyance, and so much more.
In this conversation, we’re going to work on preparing you for the next time this happens, and what you can do in those moments when those emotions have been stirred up.
Episode Highlights
-Noticing and naming the emotions that you’re feeling when you see someone who has lost weight
-Shifting from judgment and comparison, to compassion and connection
-Remembering your WHY and your values on your own journey
-Tips for navigating diet talk and weight loss conversations at holiday gatherings

We need to have a heart-to-heart. If you’ve ever hidden food wrappers or candy wrappers in the trash, because you want to hide the evidence of what you’ve eaten, this conversation is for you.
Eating in secret, and hiding the wrappers is a far more common struggle than most people realize. And it all ties back to a sense of shame about the food you’re eating, about your body, about your weight, and about what you believe you “should” be doing in order to be healthy.
Perhaps you’ve gotten judgmental comments from other people about what you’re eating, or about your body. Maybe you are trying to limit or avoid certain foods, such as candy, only to find yourself giving in and eating a bunch and feeling guilty and deeply ashamed. Heck, you might have even stolen a bunch of your kids’ Halloween candy when they were sleeping and hid the evidence so that they wouldn’t be mad at you (I see you, moms and dads!).
The thing is, you don’t need to be ashamed of eating. Hiding the wrappers only fuels the shame and the inner narrative that you shouldn’t have eaten that food in the first place (which, ironically, just makes you want it more).
In this episode, we’re going to dig into how to break away from secretly eating food, releasing the wrapper shame, and developing the inner peace and confidence to eat unapologetically.
Pop in your earbuds, grab your favorite beverage (and maybe a snack) and let’s dig in!
Episode Highlights
-Why we sneak food
-The shame loop
-Melting the shame and creating guilt-free eating
-Releasing the wrapper shame

You know what’s spooky to me? The ways that diet culture and fatphobia are running rampant this Halloween.
What I’m finding is that a lot of what is happening has been so normalized, that it flies under your radar and keeps you stuck with one foot accidentally in diet culture, and the other in the world of intuitive eating.
So you’re over here, trying to make peace with food, while you’re still receiving and subconsciously buying into these messages that are holding you back. You’re stuck thinking about food all the time, worrying that you’re eating too much sugar, eating impulsively just because you want it, stressing about weight gain, feeling ashamed of your body when you see yourself in photos or look in the mirror, and there’s that little nagging voice in the back of your head constantly telling you that you’re eating too much and that you’d feel better about yourself if you lost some weight.
OF COURSE you’re having a hard time making peace with food when the world around us is constantly sending you these messages, and we’re going to break this down today using Halloween as our example. This is going to be pretty eye opening to you.
Episode Highlights
- Sexy Halloween costumes that perpetuate the impossible appearance standards placed upon women
- The demonization of sugar, and the fatphobic undertones in this discussion about “health”
- The “earn and burn” mentality is a dangerous and slippery slope when it comes to how you think about Halloween candy

Do you find yourself in an on again, off again relationship with exercise, like it’s a bad boyfriend that you want to like, but just aren’t able to commit to long-term? You’re not alone!
In this episode, we’re going to dig into the blocks you might be experiencing with exercise. Whether you enjoy working out, but you just can’t seem to stick with a routine, or you hate working out and can’t fathom ever finding it fun or enjoyable.
Our relationship with exercise tends to be complicated, just like our relationship with food. And these two topics are often closely intertwined as well, because diet culture has taught us to pair “diet and exercise” together as if they are peanut butter and jelly.
Let’s break down the reasons you have a block against exercise, as well as how to overcome these blocks so that you can learn how to move your body in ways that work for you at this phase of your life.
Episode Highlights:
- Create your exercise timeline, to gain clarity on what exactly is blocking you with exercise, and what types of movement you might actually learn to enjoy long-term
- Identify your WHY when it comes to exercise (and no, it isn’t going to be based on calories or weight)
- Shake things up and work through discomfort - discover how!

Today we are talking about something that doesn’t get discussed very often in the intuitive eating space…fruits and veggies.
We (of course) focus a lot in the beginning of the intuitive eating journey on making peace with things like donuts, burgers, pizza, french fries, ice cream, and things that diet culture has told us are “bad/unhealthy.”
But rarely do we talk about intentionally including fruits and veggies, or how to make peace with the “good/healthy” foods that diet culture told us we HAD TO eat for so long - to the point that you might gag at the thought of forcing yourself to choke down another salad.
Diet culture doesn’t get to co-opt fruits and veggies anymore! We get to reclaim them as part of enjoyable eating, and gentle nutrition.
Hit play and get ready to dig into how to think differently about fruits and veggies as part of intuitive eating.
Episode Highlights:
-How to take your feelings about fruits and veggies from “gloom” to “bloom” so you can enjoy them again!
-The key mindset shift that you need to make about fruits and veggies before you try to intentionally increase your intake of them
-My easy strategy + tool for how to start eating more fruits and veggies (without it becoming a diet-y thing you’re doing again)
-Questions to ask yourself while you’re eating and after you’re done eating to help you learn to intuitively desire and ENJOY fruits and veggies as a normal part of your daily routine

When I say “fat,” what comes to mind? Do you think about the fat in food, or the fat in our bodies? Does it have a negative connotation in your mind?
This is the 3rd part of the “Macronutrient Series” where I’m covering the macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and (you guessed it) FAT!
In this episode we’re digging into fat and what your body fat does for you, as well as the role of fat in your food. If you’ve ever felt like eating high-fat foods is unhealthy, or worried that eating things high in fat was going to cause weight gain or increase your risk of heart disease, then this is the episode for you.
We’re going to break down everything you need to know about fat, and how to approach it from a gentle nutrition standpoint within your intuitive eating journey.
Let’s do this!
Episode Highlights
-What we learned from the low-fat era (besides how bad fat-free salad dressing tastes)
-The difference between fat in food and fat in your body (they’re NOT the same thing)
-Should you worry about “healthy” fats vs “unhealthy” fats?
-How to approach fat within the context of intuitive eating
