Coaching internalized fatphobia is not as difficult as it may appear. 

Internalized fatphobia, also commonly expressed as fear of gaining weight or fear of fatness, is something most self-identified women are faced with at some point in their life.

This is why many non-diet professional & non-diet coaches struggle with the thought of having to talk about this with their clients let alone help them move through it with coaching.

Coaching internalized fatphobia becomes a much easier process when you have begun your own journey healing internalized fatphobia in yourself first.

As a non-diet professional & coach, it's my duty to become great at coaching internalized fatphobia.

Let’s dig into internalized weight stigma aka internalized fear of fatness.

Someone sent me a DM a few weeks back after I changed my Instagram bio to Stephanie Dodier, Life Coach, and Nutritionist.

This person was curious why I call myself a life coach.

I grabbed my note app and started writing why… and then I sent her back a voice memo. She responded back that this was the most insightful perspective on health coaching.

So I thought if this is helpful to her… maybe for you too, it will be.

In this podcast episode, I’m going to share with you 7 reasons why I’m a life coach and nutritionist.

It’s really 7 moments in my career that caused me to rethink the way I was delivering nutrition and health.

Ready? Let’s do this.

• 7 moments in the last 10 years that lead me to coaching
• Why a client crying in a session triggered me to do some deep work
• That determined Why going beyond the food requires life coaching skills
• Being able to answer this question, “I don’t know why I just can’t do it. What's wrong with me?” is everything now.

Food was never the problem. The size of our client's pants was never the problem either.

So why do we focus our healing approach on the actual food and body?

The reason why humans experience struggles with food, health behaviors, and their body isn’t because of a lack of intellectual knowledge or effort.

How can you help them solve their problems if it’s not by telling them what to do?

“I know I should do X… but I just can’t do it”. You heard this from all your client all the time.

Followed by “What’s wrong with me?”

The Going Beyond The Food Challenge is a 4-day training series that will teach how to go beyond the food and actually address the real problem.

Learn a coaching approach uniquely designed to coach women who want help with food, body perception, and health.

Learn to coach beyond the food… because food or the size of their pants was never the issue.

THE RESULT: You feel confident to coach yourself and your client to undiet their life.
