*TRIGGER WARNING: EATING DISORDERS AND WEIGHT STIGMA DISCUSSION*

Are you fed up of diets and intentional weight loss controlling your life, making you feel unworthy and less than?

A few years ago I felt the same, and the catalyst for change was listening to a podcast episode with an anti-diet Dietitian just like this. And it has honestly changed my entire life.

In this episode the lovely Aoife McMahon, a Specialist Food+Body Healing Dietitian, shares her knowledge, expertise and lived experience of why diets don’t work, but also what does.

We cover:

* Why diets don’t work and the research behind this

* How our bodies react to food and weight restriction

* Why we feel out of control around food

* Why diet culture thrives on making you feel like you’re the problem (BTW, you’re not)

* Explaining intuitive eating and the research behind this model

* How you can begin to start healing your relationship with food

* Exploring weight stigma

* And, you guessed it…more!

*TRIGGER WARNING: EATING DISORDERS AND WEIGHT STIGMA*

(‘A Little Peace’ are short extracts from the next days full-length guest episode, to give you a feel for the conversation, topics discussed and the guest themselves)

Are you feeling pretty crap after the January diet culture attacks? If so, read (and listen) on…

In this Little Peace Specialist Food+Body Healing Dietitian Aoife McMahon explains the research (or lack thereof) behind intentional weight loss, and how diets have a way of separating you from your self-worth.

Listen to the full episode released tomorrow, which explores diet culture in more detail, and the model that we both love which is intuitive eating. Aoife explains intuitive eating, and how we can begin to use this in our lives in order to develop a more peaceful relationship with food, our body’s and ourselves. We also dive into a discussion on weight stigma which is a little icky, but incredibly important.

If you’re on your own self-discovery journey, concerned with questions like who am I and how do I want to live my life, you my find that the very core of your existence starts to shake.

You might feel unstable or start reconsidering your career, friendships, relationships and, essentially, what on earth you’re doing with your life or what direction you’re travelling in.

So I’m sharing my own experience of this, and how I’m supporting myself right now, to hopefully provide some guidance, and reassurance.

I would love to know if you’re experiencing similar in your life, or how this episode resonates with you, so if it feels good for you to reach on please do get in touch below.

How am I supposed to know what to do with my life? Why don’t I have it all figured out yet? Do people think I’m a train wreck? When will I get my act together? What is my purpose? Why am I just not good enough?

If you relate to any of those questions, then tune in to hear me explore them, brew in hand, and share how I’m navigating them right now.

I share:

* The pressure to have the career, house, relationship, children etc.

* Realising and releasing all this pressure

* The 30th birthday crisis

* How procrastination is one of perfectionism’s favourite tools

* Using our feelings to navigate what we want in life

* Exploring comparison, judgment and setting boundaries

* Practices and suggestions to guide you towards what feels good

In Part 2 me and friend+Reiki Practitioner+Embodiment Coach Kelly Peck chat about the Celtic Wheel, which is a year-long ‘calendar’ of significant events in nature celebrated by our Celtic Ancestors, some of which you may know such as the solstices and equinoxes. This is a beautiful way to connect with the energy of nature and explore how it feels within you. Here is a visual of the Wheel that Kelly has kindly put together.

Oh and neither me or Kelly feel that you have to have Celtic lineage to explore the Wheel; if you’re feeling called to it, do lean into and trust that.

We cover:

* The 8 different festivals of the Wheel+what they represent

* Rituals for each festival

* The importance of dropping perfection+following your intuition

* A chat on cultural appropriation

* Our FREE Nature’s Cycles Workshop on 29th Jan+ Spring Magic Workshop on 4th and 5th of Feb

This episode is for anyone who is interested in working with the seasons of nature, or for anyone who is feeling burnt out, disconnected and craving a different pace of living.

Myself and Kelly, Trauma-Informed Reiki Practitioner and Embodiment Coach, discuss our love for the seasons of nature, what they have brought us and how to work with them.

This is a special episode as it is part of a 3-part series (stay tuned for the Celtic Wheel and Lunar cycle eps), and we are co-hosting it, which is new to both of us and especially Kelly as she launches her very own Wild Souls Podcast. Congrats Kelly!

We cover:

* The energies of each season and how to work with them

* What difficulties can show up in each season

* How working with the seasons has changed our lives

* A guided somatic meditation for exploring your winter emotions

* Our favourite rituals for each season

* How to be a cyclical being within our modern world

* Sharing our Spring Magic Workshop on 4th and 5th Feb

…And much more!

Fill in this podcast feedback form and receive a free Inner Winter Meditation+Journal Practice

Winter is coming…well, actually it’s already here in its usual wet and muddy form up in the North of England. So I’m sharing some practices to help you connect with the energy of winter, and create your own inner sanctuary this season.

I find a lot of inner peace, joy and connection when working with the seasons, so I explain what the energy of winter feels like, why it can be difficult but why there is so much magic in working with it.

I share 11-ish practices including:

* Exploring fire and warmth

* Working with our all senses

* Intentional living

* Journalling and shadow work

Thankyou all so much for listening for the past year, I am incredibly grateful. The pod’ will be back for Season 3 in early 2023 (I’ve gotta practice what I preach and hibernate!).

Have an amazing winter, Christmas and New Year xx
