This week we have another installment of my solo series where we hash through a recent article on 'health', wellness, dieting, and food, and discuss the actual facts behind the bold claims being made in these spaces.

And you guessed it, this week we're talking about the Keto Diet, how it impacts our body, what ACTUALLY happens in our bodies when we restrict our carbohydrate intake, and how we are impacted physically and psychologically in the short and long term.

This week we're talking with Rochelle Bilow, who I have the extraordinary pleasure of working with at Ophelia's Place headquarters.

Rochelle is a chef, yoga teacher, fellow recovery advocate, farmer, author (and seriously, so much more) and I can't wait for you to sink your teeth into this episode.

We talk about her very non-linear process of recovery, what perpetuated her body dissatisfaction in her younger years, letting go of exercise that doesn't serve us anymore, dropping into cooking with an intuitive lens, watching out for the 'shouldy' wellness circles on the internet, and more.

This week we're doing a long awaited Q+A episode! We're digging deep into binge eating, and how permission can (and should) play a part in decreasing binge episodes. We're talking about how to get out of the self comparison with food and what other people are eating, my tips for going shopping for new clothes without freaking out, and how to get over the fear of eating carbohydrates. This episode is jam packed with little nuggets of eating disorder recovery TRUTH. Hope you love it!

In this solo segment, Holly is addressing some of the links between perfectionistic tendencies & eating disorder recovery. She digs deep into why it's so important to embrace the IMperfection and messiness of our lives and recovery processes, because in that imperfect space is where we grow, learn, expand and heal.

Tune in for holly's advice on how to step away from our perfectionistic tendencies so that we can create more space for joy, pleasure, love, connection and personal growth.

In this episode of Well and Weird Abbie Plouff, the Northern Lights Witch, shares her work, and her story of coming to a place of embodiment. As a proud, radical, queer witch, Abbie uses the tarot (and magic in general) to help make her own life and and the lives of her clients richer and more aligned.

Abbie shares some of her body story, some of the battles she faced in deciding to fully embrace the term 'witch,' and how we can use the tarot to start getting back into our bodies after trauma and/or dissociation. Whether you identify as a witch or not- that's totally fine, but this episode offers so much medicine in the name of body acceptance, self acceptance and tapping into your innate wisdom- your intuition, you won't want to miss it.

In this solo episode, we're digging into some of the problematic points raised by a recent article from Healthyish- a blog geared toward foodies and wellness seekers.

The article tries to address some of the problems with moralizing food, trying to make everything we eat "healthy," and how diet foods really just end up leaving us unsatisfied. But in my opinion, it really misses the bar and could do a whole lot better to revolutionize the wellness movement to make it more inclusive.

Jess Sprengle is a licensed professional counselor, an Eating Disorder Recovery specialist, an Intuitive Eating/HAES/body acceptance advocate, and an intersectional feminist. Today on the podcast, Jess is sharing her own story of Eating Disorder recovery, as well as some of her insights from her experience as a professional counselor working in the ED field.

We talk about some of the stages of the recovery process, how it's important to WAIT before attempting Intuitive Eating until you've gone through the re-feeding process, reconnecting to your body, the importance of doing trauma work, some of the toxic things we're seeing on Instagram in the ED recovery community (and what to avoid!) and so much more.

Jess is an absolute pleasure and I know you're going to love this episode, her work and her witty Insta posts as much as I do.
