1:11 - Choosing alternatives to your typical New Year’s celebrations

I’ve talked a lot about body image on this podcast. But I’ve never had an expert in the subject on the show... until now. And with the holiday cheer accompanied by the challenge of cookies, cakes, and other food and wine everywhere, I think now’s the perfect time for this conversation.

My guest Jenna Free has a ton of knowledge about eating disorders and body dysmorphia and acceptance. So I had to have her on to give her perspective and teach us a few things to help you navigate the holiday season.

But our conversation took an interesting turn I didn’t anticipate. We ended up discussing beauty culture a lot, in addition to body issues and how to navigate the unwanted comments and lack of boundaries from friends and family during holidays.

1:30 - A couple of tips for those who find this time of a year a challenge to get through

10:54 - A caveat before you listen to the interview

15:36 - Jenna introduces herself and her history with food and body image

17:34 - The biggest misconception about food addiction

18:50 - Diet and beauty culture as a patriarchal distraction for women

23:38 - How Jenna felt trapped in beauty culture even outside the body weight arena

27:56 - The link that exists between your love life and your body image

30:55 - Why dieting doesn’t work and refusing to comply with diet culture

33:27 - Finding a balance between releasing diet and beauty culture standards and taking care of your body

35:45 - How the skincare industry, and beauty culture in general, markets itself to women

42:56 - The time Jenna almost dipped her toes back into beauty culture

44:56 - Advice for dealing with body weight comments from friends and family this holiday season

49:25 - How to handle “overeating” during the holidays in a better way

Lots of people have a hate-hate relationship with online dating and believe it’s responsible for their love life woes. But online dating isn’t inherently good or bad. It’s just a neutral space, like a bar or the workplace.

I find that people likely manifest their online dating experience based on their larger relationship pattern which brings me to my caller today, Erin. She’s frustrated because she’s unable to replicate the online dating success her friends enjoy and wants to know what she’s doing wrong. As you listen, though, you’ll discover why online dating practices aren't her main issue.

10:04 - Erin describes the dating pattern she’s had in relationships

14:06 - The first thing that pops into Erin’s head during a short exercise

29:05 - How Erin’s view of her parents contributes to the real issue she’s having in her love life

32:18 - Another version of self to look at, besides the inner child

I’m about to say something controversial, even seemingly contradictory. I love manifesting, but the law of attraction is crap. And I love talking crap about it because it grinds my gears how much harm it does. 

For too long, it’s been used as a force of manipulation across the personal development, wellness, and MLM industries and can actually lead to more frustration in your love life. So in this episode, I want to focus on why the law of attraction is so toxic and how you can manifest without it.

8:07 - Why the popular comparison of the law of attraction to the law of gravity doesn’t work and is really harmful

10:54 - The huge flaw in equating the law of attraction with quantum physics

17:12 - Another big issue with the law of attraction and my theory about why it was popularized

20:33 - The simple, two-step process for manifesting what you want
