This episode is piggybacking on last week's episode, and we are spending more time on the food aspect around owning your crazy.

Secret eating is something you do when you think you're doing something wrong.
That you shouldn't still be hungry, you shouldn't want so much of an item or to eat any of it at all.

Secret eating can often lead to binge eating or at the very least it solidifies the idea you hold that what you are doing is wrong. But ultimately, it keeps you trapped in an exhausting relationship with food- the opposite of what you want. 

Stop eating in secret and start eating for all to see.
This epside is going to walk you through how.

Enjoy!

From the food you eat and the ways in which you eat it, to speaking up in your relationship- owning your crazy is the pathway to happiness.

You know when you see someone biff it in public but then they try and play it off as if no one saw but we all know EVERYONE saw and it just makes it all that more uncomfortable? This is what it’s like when you try and cover your crazy, you really just amplify it.

In this episode, I am talking about why YOU need to own your own brand of crazy and the repercussions of not.

The "manual" is the idea that we all have a set of rules and expectations for other people to follow (aka the manual).

You probably have one for your partner, your parents, coworkers, and people you see in passing.
 
When you think someone is being rude it is often because they aren't following the manual you have for how they "should" act.
When it's your birthday and your best friend doesn't call you, you are upset because in your manual for her, that is what she should do.
When you are driving and some dick wad cuts you off, you are angry because they shouldn't drive like that- according to your manual.
And so on.

The manual you have for others can lead to a lot of suffering in yourself because those other people are living by a different set of rules, that they think are the best!
They don't have the same manual for themselves that you have for them.

In this episode, I share more about the manual but more specifically about the one you have for your body.  I hope you enjoy it!

Rest.
Relaxation.
Days of doing nothing.
Lounging.
Not reading self-help.

How do you do with those things?
Does the thought of it make your skin crawl?
If the constant need to be busy or feeling guilty about resting occupies your brain more than you would like, this episode is for you.

I am talking about rest, being productive, and changing the definition of each.

Are you someone who calls a bath self care? Or getting a delicious meal? Or taking a day off?

Is that REALLY self care? Or is it just self-respect? Is it just treating yourself well?

In this episode, I am talking to you about the difference between the two and why worrying about what YOU think about you is substantially more important than what anyone else thinks about you.

Over the weekend two bigger names in the online space shared posts about letting go of dieting. These two women were Tabitha Brown and Diane San Filippo. Diane's very raw and real post in particular gave me goosebumps. I kept jumping back to her profile to see the comments HUNDREDS of women were leaving about their own experience with food and body. Countless women asking her questions about her experience- the same thing for Tabitha. In fact, her post was shared in a private Facebook group I am a part of as well by some member that I do not know.

All of this was telling me, "This is big. This is important. And I need to let more people know these women are talking about it."

Why? Because dieting and hating your body is the dominant way of existing in our culture. If you hate your body or wish your stomach were smaller or arms were more firm, no one bats an eye. In fact, you will probably have whoever is near you say something in agreement like. "ugh! I know! I hate my ______."

But when you hear a woman say, "I don't want to lose weight. I love my body. I think my legs are sexy as hell." You're confused. You may even think she is full of herself. How messed up is that?
To hear someone think highly of herself is shocking and to hear someone tear herself apart is somehow comforting.

So many women are killing themselves to look like women who hate how they look.

In this episode, I am talking about this all in more depth and detail.
Please do me a favor and share this episode. Share Diane and Tabitha's posts. Because we need more of this. We need more women admitting they struggle, more women admitting they want to love their body no matter what, and more women leading the way.
We need each other.
