  • Be Victorious: Intuitive Eating with Victoria Dorsano
    Victoria Helle (before she was married this summer ) and I sat down and talked about Intuitive Eating . I have seen the Intuitive Eating book in our home and always wondered what it was all about. Many eating disorder programs follow the intuitive eating model. And yet you don't have to have an eating disorder to get value out of this episode. If you are a chronic dieter, Intuitive eating will help you come to peace with your food.

  • Trying to figure out how to be ok: Laura Nosek Sander , Yogi and friend and wise women shares about emptiness and disconnection and what she found to fill up that empty spot inside.
    Laura Nosek Sander is the first who introduced me to Yoga and that feeling of being still and present. I practiced with her many years and have learned so much from her wise soul 
    Her story of her addictions and learning about how disconnected and empty she felt lead her to a realization that that emptiness could only be filled by God. She learned that the skinny girls got the love. She has taught me to embrace the stillness and to look to the mind for our solutions. 
    She shares about books: 
    The Big Book 
    The Universe has your back : Dawson Church 
    Return to Love : Marianne Williamson 
    and many by Gabby Bernstein.
