We Feel Super Nourished!

What are they, how do they work, and can I use just a few or do I have to commit to an intimidating sales model if I start dabbling?  When it comes to essential oils, we have a lot of questions!  Well Keeley is here with here super oils cape to make the topic approachable and to teach us a bunch of awesome information...including how essential oils relate to a healthy diet.  Let's dive in!

Jackie and I are back behind the mic wrapping up our body positivity series by addressing a question that may be on your mind.  If you like many women in this nation, you could be thinking, "I'm on board with this body positive message!  But I still want to lose weight."  Today we're welcoming that goal into the body positive club and addressing it from a gentle angle.  We'll provide you with a simple, practical step toward finding your body's natural weight.  Let's get into it!

We've got a couple of special guests helping out with our body positivity series and today, I'm so pleased to welcome back one of our original cohosts, Lorrie Gray!  She has returned to drop a quick mic (hehe) on what it means to be in relationship with your body.  We talk about how neutral self talk can be a helpful bridge from negative to positive thinking and we also talk about some helpful verbiage around describing our bodies.  Let's get into it! Linkables discussed in today's episode: Jesus Calms the Storm (sermon from North Coast Church). Episode 9 of We Feel Super Nourished! (Cooking on the Fly, or "kitchen sink cooking" w/ Lorrie). Follow my #nourishedescape self care retreat journey this weekend and let me know if you'd like to be in the loop for future retreats!  Check out Lorrie's website if you want to get on her mailing list or find out more about her work. Special thanks to Amy Van Vlear for original design and Jonathan Byram for original music! How does this message land with you?  Could you benefit from referring to your body as "me" more often?  Or just shifting to neutral statements for a time?  We'd love to hear how you're doing!  You can always  send us a message find us over on Instagram @thelorriegray and @ifeelsupernourished.

Keeley joins me today to kick off our four part series on Body Positivity!  Is this a phrase you've heard before?  We're spending today's episode talking about what the concept means to us and why we think our definition doesn't leave space for the BMI to hold power.  After listening, you may want to hang onto this definition, so here it is for you in writing:

Here at We Feel Super Nourished, Body Positivity means:

1. Yes!  All bodies are good bodies.

2. We tell the truth about our bodies in love.

3. Health is available to shapes and sizes of all sorts and must be determined through a holistic lens.

Today, I get to sit down with Leah to talk supplements: what are they, why do we take them, and when do we take them?  And then we get into..."but what about when they're not our top priority?"  If you've been wondering whether or not you're taking enough supplements, we hope today's episode gives you permission to breathe easy and keep focusing on your most important things (which may include supplements).  Let's get into it!

Jackie and I are sitting down again to chat about one of our favorite topics: seasonal produce!  This time we're coming at you with a springtime edition in honor of the first day of spring this past week.  Whether you're focusing hard core on veggies the way Jackie is, or open to the many ways berries can brighten your life, we hope you'll draw some lighthearted inspiration from today's episode.  Let's get into it!

Keeley is back to help us talk through a sensitive topic!  What do you do when a close friend or family member needs help with health?  Is it your place to intervene?  If so, how do you even start the conversation?  We're here to tell you that while it's not our responsibility to fix people or to assume ourselves the experts of their experiences...if they're open to have a conversation, good can come of it!

Well now that we've thoroughly discussed why we prefer eating at home...let's turn the tables and talk about how we approach eating out.  Because even for those with the most sensitive of diets, eating out is part of thriving in society from time to time.  Leah and I have two very different perspectives to offer you.  For me, eating out is all about focusing on people over food (but never ignoring the food) and for Leah, eating out is mainly about safety now that managing Celiac Disease is her primary health task.  She was very generous to lend us some insight into how having a serious food sensitivity impacts social life.  So let's dig in!

This week, Keeley is back to help us explore the many benefits of eating at home (even if you don't cook at home!)...from financial, to physical, to relational.  Do you have a heart for hospitality like we do?  If so, stick around 'til the end of the episode where we get into my favorite part of the conversation.  Ok, let's dig in!
