Join me as I speak with another loving and knowledgable licensed professional counselor!

Eating disorders are about much more than food, and they certainly don't have a "look". Join me as I interview Michaela Whitehead, an eating disorder therapist with a heart of gold. She discusses the multi-factorial causes of eating disorders, the joy that they rob from body, mind, and soul, and the encouraging fact that there is always hope for recovery. We also discuss how Covid is stirring up old eating disorder thoughts and behaviors, and a couple tips for handling these unwelcome coping mechanisms.

Join us, it's information we can all use!

Maslow's 1943 Hierarchy of Needs is such an interesting tool. It has been expanded upon over the years, yet stays remarkably true to the original concept. Its principles can also be applied across many areas of interest and is pertinent in explaining how and why certain things in our lives are manifested and other things are left falling short. Tune in as I discuss the basics of Maslow's Hierarchy and how it pertains to concepts surrounding chronic dieting, body image, and nutrition.

The start of school has me pondering all the trials and tribulations of fitting in and dealing with change, discrimination, and judgement.

It's no wonder middle school kids don't want to draw attention to themselves. It's hard work coming to terms with how the world views us, and then figuring out how to move forward with that information.

Unfortunately our society believes that weight can and should be manipulated. So when we feel uncomfortable and as if our body doesn't "fit in" with others, our natural instinct is to "fix" it.

Join me as I think through this a bit and consider next steps!

I'm back with dietitians Lita Chatham and Jenna Le Kayworth as they continue their interview with me! They started a podcast as part of a program they were running at the Alabama Department of Public Health and had me on as their guest.

In this part of the interview we talk about how body respect fits into a journey of finding food freedom and how to foster that respect in our lives. We also go into body diversity in our social feed and advocating for yourself in social and healthcare settings. Lots of goodness in this episode!
