The Lane 9 Podcast

Hi, we're back! And in this short re-introduction episode, Heather Caplan gives an update on some social media shenanigans, why they matter and what we had to say about it. While the risks of doom-scrolling are high, we aren't immune to them any more than the next person. That being said, our two highest WIND values are Inclusivity and Integrity, so let there be no question or hesitation at all about where we stand on oppressive rhetoric and actions.

Morgan Sinclair, co-host of the Weight-Inclusive Innovators podcast, joins WIND Event Director Heather Caplan for a review of 2022! This episode covers the three biggest changes to WIND—most of which happened between March and July of 2022—and how much WIND has changed since this time last year. (Spoiler: A LOT.)

It also covers some of the bigger things that happened in the general weight-inclusive spaces this year (which previous episodes on this podcast feed explore in more detail: Response to the AND Proposed Weight Management Guidelines, and What Happened in the HAES® Spaces), and how that shaped future WIND offerings. 

Tune in to hear all of those things, and more! Like, how the Foundations Workshop actually turned out (plus why WIND was nervous to host it), and the mantra plus big new offerings for 2023!

What you’re about to hear is a collection of audio clips from the Foundations of weight-Inclusive care WIND Workshop that I’m co-hosting with Brianna Campos, of Body Image With Bri, THIS WEEK. Yep, these quotes are directly from our live sessions, with consent to share from our speakers. They each answered, in some way, the question of WHY they practice from a weight-inclusive lens. Why weight-inclusive care? Why weight-inclusive activism? Why challenge the “norm” of weight-centric healthcare practices that are touted as the only evidence-based practices?

These sessions are still available, and if it were me, honestly…. I’d metaphorically run, not walk, to register for this workshop. Don’t hurt yourself. It’s a link…you just have to go click on it --> weightinclusivenutrition.teachable.com

You’re about to hear from Aaron Flores, Dori Steinberg, Veronica Garnett, Samantha Barash, Mimi Cole, Ragen Chastain, and Amy Rapone…with a little bonus anti-racism clip from Shelby Gordon. (More information about the full workshop: weightinclusivenutrition.com/workshop)

We feel so lucky to be in these spaces with them, and with you. Let’s go.

It's me, your host, Heather Caplan on the finale! My friend, confidant, and now WIND Team member, Kim Hoban, joined me again to help navigate this final conversation for the RD Real Talk show! 

In this episode, we talk about: 

why I started the show

how I put systems in place 

what systems I used and how much time it took

the "Return on investment" for podcasting as a non-diet dietitian

what it felt like to come back to the show after my last maternity leave

and why it's ending!

I'm leaving the show, and wrapping up this project! But, I'm not leaving the weight-inclusive space. You'll find me at all things WIND (Weightinclusivenutritoin.com), and on Instagram @heatherdcRD. In the next few months, I'm hosting the WIND Business Brainstorm, and the WIND Business Owners Mastermind group! Find more information about those things on our newsletter: weightinclusivenutrition.com 

Thank you SO MUCH for being here! Keep in touch. 

Cheers, 

Heather

Cara Harbstreet and Whitney Trotter joined this episode LIVE in Denver, CO at the first in-person WIND event since 2020. This was made possible by partnering with Gaudiani Clinic, Eating Disorders Foundation, and SuperBill.

We start this conversation off with some fun topics including pet peeves while traveling, favorite emojis, and superpowers. Cara and Whitney then share how the shift into virtual work has affected their businesses and what major initiative they would want to spearhead within the weight-inclusive healthcare and/or cultural space.

This episode is sponsored by Way Health. Way is a mindful eating app that helps you find peace in your relationship with food and your body. Grounded in mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy, they focus on what makes the body feel good and what makes you feel good about your body as an avenue to long-term eating behavior change. Find Way on the Apple Store and other places where apps are sold!

Cara and Whitney answer two audience questions:

1. How are you taking care of yourself and focusing on client care while trying to balance what’s happening in the spaces of underrepresented identities?
2. How are you balancing micro or macro aggressions against yourself, your colleagues, and your clients from other professionals while also dealing with the anger, exhaustion and frustration that comes up for you?
