Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I spent years in patterns of binge eating and emotional eating. The healing path was messy and confusing. I figured out a lot on my own. 

Part of what drove me to create the Satiated Podcast was that I never wanted anyone to feel like they needed to navigate this journey alone. I wanted to create a space for others on a similar adventure to receive baby steps in creating the kind of relationship they wanted with their food.

In this week’s episode, I talk with Jessie Jean, Certified Mind Body Eating Coach, who will offer more bite sized tools to healing your relationship with food. We will discuss 5 effective brain based techniques to begin to cultivate awareness around what might be fueling your food behaviors and new input you can experiment with to regulate yourself and change how you show up with food.

You don't have to be on this healing path alone. Doors to The Somatic Eating™ Program will be opening soon! If you want to be on this adventure with a group of others also on the same path in healing their relationship with their food and body, go to somaticeating.com to join the waitlist.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

As the movements of Health at Every Size and Body Positivity have grown, I have seen more and more confusion around how to have relationship with food. 

I've found myself in so many conversations that if a person wants to challenge their body, change their body, change their weight, does that mean they're no longer a person who is appreciating their body?

It can be incredibly confusing!

In this week’s episode, I talk with Michelle Shapiro, Integrative & Functional Registered Dietitian, about the difference between coddling and compassion when it comes to your own nutrition, tapping into your inner rebel, what listening to body wisdom can look and feel like, how we've been duped by food companies, and so much more. This is a conversation not to be missed!

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

We all have many parts of us. You have an inner child, an inner teenager, an inner perfectionist, an inner people pleaser, an inner worrier, and many more. 

Your parts were created at a time when you needed them. They were trying to support you, protect you, and make sure you would be alright. 

As you grow older, these parts show up when their beliefs about what will support them in feeling safe is threatened. 

In this week’s episode, I explore 4 different internal parts of you that urge you to binge eat and reach for food to self soothe and how to start responding to them in ways that will leave you feeling more connected and regulated in your body. 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-part-of-you-is-choosing-to-binge-eat

My Intro to Somatic Eating™ mini course is on sale for Labor Day for 50% off until midnight on Monday 9/5. 

Somatic Eating™ is my life's work. It is a body-oriented, sensation focused therapeutic approach to eating. This approach facilitates a decrease in patterns of emotional eating, binge eating, chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycle, and body image concerns. 

This mini course will provide you with three Somatic Eating™ tools that will begin to shift your relationship with food to one that feels more regulating, grounding, and connecting. You can learn more here and if you have any questions, email me at [email protected] anytime. https://satiated.mykajabi.com/offers/L2B45adz

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

For a long time, I would rather feel uncomfortably full than feel my emotions. 

I would rather eat too much, than drop into my body. 

I would rather feel so hungry that I couldn't feel anything at all. 

When you're in the process of healing your relationship with food, often there can be an over focus on what is happening with food. Your relationship with food is a window into your relationship with your emotions. 

When your emotions and sensations feel safe to experience, then your relationship with food can change. The more time you spend with yourself, the less food is needed to help regulate you as you're already doing that on your own. 

In this week’s episode, I talk with Heidi Gruss, Personal Development Coach and Psychotherapist, about why creating time to be with you is crucial to any transformation and practices you can engage in to move toward the changes you would like to make in your life.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I'm sitting here trying to find a way to express in words just how powerfully transformative it is to learn about your nervous system. 

If you've been navigating patterns of binge eating or emotional eating and have tried every trick, tip, and strategy out there, the missing piece is learning about your nervous system and how your body lets you know what state its in based on your food urges. 

This is something over the past several years I have been teaching every single person I work with. As soon as you start to experience your food cravings as information from your body, you can begin to respond to them differently.

In this week’s episode, I talk with Jamie McCoy, Licensed Integrative Psychotherapist and Trauma Coach about the nervous system, what it is, and why it's so important to learn how to regulate to change binge or emotional eating patterns. 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/power-of-nervous-system-regulation

Nervous system regulation takes time and practice and you get to take all the time you need on this journey. And as always, I'll be there for you every step of the way.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I would really like to say I'm a former People Pleaser, but that would just be a big lie. Instead, I would like to say that I've come to know the People Pleaser part of me and what they believe they would get from pleasing someone else. 

There are a lot of reasons why people pleasing tendencies can get cultivated. It can be a response to trauma that gives you some sense of control that if you can make everyone happy you won't be abandoned or harmed. It can be a response from what you learned from those around you that it's the "norm" to put everyone else before yourself. It can be learned from your culture and fears around being viewed as selfish. 

By saying yes to everyone else though, this can increase patterns of binge eating and emotional eating as food comes in to finally put yourself first. Food may be the only place you feel comfortable putting yourself first. To alter these food behaviors, your relationship with No and setting boundaries needs to be healed.

In this week’s episode, I chat with Suzanne Culberg, who is a Nope Coach, about how over-giving can lead to over-consumption. We explore what small steps anyone can take to begin to put themselves first so that food comes in less to do that for you.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I remember the first time a therapist assigned to me that I take myself out on a date. I spent the afternoon reading books in a local book store. I went to the movies by myself for the very first time. I bought myself dinner and ate it outside. 

It was the first time I truly experienced enjoying my own company after years of running away from myself. There can be so much focus in the body positivity movement on loving the external form of your body and yet who is the person inside of it? Could taking yourself out on a date and getting to know yourself inside and out lead to appreciating your body as it is?

In this week’s episode, I had an important and fascinating conversation with Perle Noire who is an intuitive healer, creative director, transformative coach, and the creator of The Healing Through Seduction program. She is an advocate for people searching for a community to reclaim their bodies and control over their sensuality. We will explore what seducing yourself means, acts you can engage in to romance yourself to feel appreciated in your body, and getting to know your body through discovering what turns it on. 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/learning-to-love-your-body

As a heads up, we get into some conversation around sensuality and sexuality. I have found this is an important exploration when healing your relationship with your food and body. For many individuals, a difficult relationship with food can occur as a response to past sexual trauma or not getting your intimacy needs met in your life. This is a different kind of conversation than I've ever had on the podcast. If you notice reactions arise as you listen to this episode, take time to journal, reflect, and do what you need to do to take care of you.

Stephanie Mara Fox

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

When I was in the thick of my emotional eating and binge eating patterns, food was often used to check out instead of check in. 

I would even wait days to check in with myself until I saw my therapist and then burst into tears expressing everything my body had been holding onto and then the pattern would repeat where all those emotions would build inside my body leading up to a binge and a release only at one point in time where I felt safe enough to let go. If this pattern sounds familiar to you, the work here is to start to use regular meal times as opportunities to check in with yourself. There needs to be more time incorporated into your day where you connect with your body, check in with what's there, and give it space to be expressed. 

In this week’s episode, I talk about a new routine you can create for yourself before or after you eat to start to incorporate more opportunities to self regulate throughout your day.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

For many years of my life, I had a deep fear of gaining weight. 

My body shape had been connected to my ability to find love and be loved. 

My body had been connected to my worth. 

My body had been connected to my ability to be liked. Does this sound familiar at all? What has your body shape been connected to? Where did you learn that having a thinner body would be better?

 For myself, it came in from Seventeen Magazine. It came from my closest guy friends telling me to lose weight. It came from observation of how individuals in middle school, in high school were treated differently. It came from Disney movies. 

In this week’s episode, I explore the wisdom in the fear around a weight change and offer 3 somatic practices you can experiment with when this fear comes up.

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Have you ever felt like your patterns with food are all you have ever known? Like you can't remember a time when you weren't doing the eating behaviors that you would love to change?

The Satisfaction Cycle is a concept that comes from Body Mind Centering and has impacted the field of Somatic Psychology. It describes how our developmental movement patterns influence our actions and sense of self in the world. 

These developmental movement patterns were all important ways that you as a baby experienced the world through your body. Any of these movement patterns that innately occur can get interrupted by your home life, traumatic experiences, and life situations.

In this week’s episode, I dive into what these developmental patterns are and what can happen in your relationship with food if any one of these is interrupted. 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-your-developmental-stages-and-current-food-habits-are-connected
