I've had the pleasure of working alongside Holistic Nutritionist and Founder of Joyous Health, Joy McCarthy, for 2+ years as the Community Manager at Joyous Health. Joy is truly one of the most passionate, big-hearted, caring and joyous people I've ever met.  But there was a time in her life when she didn't feel as joyous as she does now as a result of not filling "all" of her cups – her relationship cup, her health cup and her career cup.

There is a huge emphasis that is put on weight and what it means for our overall health, but the implications of doing so are actually making us more unhealthy than ever and stuck in the vicious cycle of diet culture. 

Here to bust the myths around weight and breakdown diet culture is the incredibly brilliant, Dr. Jillian Murphy, ND.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The stigma against weight and why it isn't an accurate representation of the state of your health
• The Health At Every Size (HAES) philosophy and movement and how to adopt it's principles
• Why eating well is different than eating perfectly
• How to cultivate a pleasurable experience around food 
• The need to focus on health behaviours as a route to achieving health
• Why 95% of diets fail
• The link between restriction and dieting and obesity
• How to normalize your relationship with food
• How to raise competent intuitive eaters
• The harmful effects of intervening a child's natural born ability to regulate food
• Ellen Sattyr's division of responsibility philosophy when it comes to feeding children
• How not to freak out if your child does not seem to be on the path to being a healthy eater
• How a preoccupation with food starts and exists

What if therapy didn't have to be a dirty word? What if therapy could be as routine as going to the dentist? What if therapy could take you and your relationship to a place you could have previously only ever dreamed of? 

I'm sharing my story and experience of going to couples therapy. While there might not have been anything particularly *wrong* in my relationship, I knew we could and can be better. From the strategies and concepts we've explored in over 6 months of couples therapy, while things aren't perfect (is anything ever?), we're now able to operate and communicate on a much deeper and connected level. 

My hope is that whether you're feeling the same or struggling in your relationship, that you can consider therapy as a resource to help you and your significant other take your relationship to the next level. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why we started going to couples therapy
• What it's like to go through couples counselling
• How therapy can help you communicate and connect with your partner on a whole new level
• Why a "perfect relationship" doesn't exist
• How an unhealthy relationship could be at the root of why you turn to food for comfort
• How to find the best therapist or counsellor for you

I've been a health nut for as long as I can remember, excitedly enjoying hummus and carrots at the mere age of 12, until I was faced with anorexia shortly after. While my physical experience with an eating disorder was short lived, the mental effects stuck around for quite some time which evolved into 10 years of disordered eating. 

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on those years, how I overcame it and how it brought me to where I am today as a Holistic Nutritionist and a Disordered & Emotional Eating Coach.
