In this week on the podcast I'm talking with Chelsea Coreen about her newest project, Mercury Mermaid, which is an online platform for people to tap into both their creativity as well as their spirituality in order to improve mental health.

Chelsea is an educator, a poet, a researcher, a tarot reader a feminist and so much more. We dive into how Mercury Mermaid came to fruition, how it has helped her heal from sexual trauma, body image issues, and anxiety. Mercury Mermaid is also launching a new podcast called Ask a Mermaid, launching this coming September!

Dana Falsetti is an international yoga teacher, writer, and advocate for living an authentic life that begins with self-love and leads to your beautiful, badass self. She has been recognized by millions across social media for her message: anybody can practice yoga and everybody has a right to be their true self no matter what body they are in.

Dana came to her yoga practice during an ultimate low, a place of depression largely from focusing on weight loss and body shaming her whole life. She spent a year dieting and exercising which led to significant weight loss, only to realize that being smaller didn't make her happier because while her body changed, she didn't. Suffering from a binge eating disorder, she struggled with body image and self worth her whole life until she realized she could actually accept and love herself as is.

Dana and I had the pleasure of chatting about:

• Dieting in childhood, and the binge/ restrict cycle
• Letting go of the desire to lose weight
• Weight stigma & body diversity in the yoga community
• Getting back into your body amidst feelings of shame
• Facing the internal dialogue
• Worthiness & embodiment
• Tapping into internal strength through physical practice
• Finding happiness/ contentment in AnyBody, and beyond the physical

this week on the podcast it's just you and me, and we're getting real about Gentle Nutrition: what it is, how you can implement it, and how you can use this basic nutrition knowledge in combination with your intuition to find your own version of health.

I'm here to tell you that

A. you need all three macros to fully live in health, and

Some highlights from the episode:

• Basic lowdown on the macronutrients
