This week I spoke with Ragen Chastain who is a fat activist, writer, and speaker. We discuss her eating disorder recovery, fat activism, and her current goal to become an iron man! This episode was amazing, I was so excited to get to chat with her and I cannot wait for you all to hear it!

Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RDN, CDN, is a non-diet dietitian who helps people struggling with chronic dieting, disordered eating, and eating disorders. She uses a combination of Intuitive Eating, mindfulness techniques, and meditation to help her clients move toward greater peace, health, and wellness.

In this episode Dana and I talk about her recovery and transformation from a fashion blogger into a body positive and feminist activist. We touch on all things feminism- even things that have been weighing on my mind personally as of late such as body hair and makeup. She also discusses the best way those of us with more privilege can be allies to those who are more marginalized.

This week Emily and I discussed her recovery from her eating disorder and how she got into dietetics. We talk about Orthorexia. What it is and where the line is between "healthy eating" and dangerous obsession. We also speak on the dangers of elimination diets. We define what a normal and healthy relationship with food should look like and how we can encourage that in our children as well.

This week I spoke with sex coach and educator, Dawn Serra. We talk consent, and sex positivity and how we can foster these things in ourselves as well as model them for our children and our families. We talk about honing the skill of sex even from a young age, and why ignoring these conversations can really be harmful to the human collective in the long run.

This week I spoke with the amazing Dr. Anita Johnston. We spoke about using metaphors with food to help us decode what things we are really "hungry" for. When we can decode what our cravings are telling us about our life we can learn so much valuable information that we can use to transform our relationship with food and ourselves. We discuss the meaning of soul hunger and give you lots of good resources to start this work on your own. We touch on Waldorf education and the work of Rudolf Steiner and how he inspired her work.

Today I spoke with Kylie Mitchell, a fellow Houstonian, blogger, and practicing Registered Dietician specializing in eating disorders with a weight neutral approach. We talk about her journey through anorexia and its different manifestations through a disordered relationship with food as well as compulsive exercise habits. We discuss intuitive movement and how Intuitive Eating can really be a foundation for unleashing our intuition in all parts of our life. We also discuss her blog, and how she approaches food pictures now being on the outside of diet culture.

Today on the show I spoke with Julie Duffy Dillon. We discuss true recovery from an eating disorder, as well as feminism and fat acceptance in parenting.

Today on the show I spoke with Summer Innanen, professionally trained coach specializing in body image, confidence and self-worth and the best-selling author of Body Image Remix.
