Today I chat with Lauren Leavell, a body inclusive fitness coach in Philadelphia. She talks about her own journey and the moment she wondered if she could be a fitness coach and personal trainer in the body she had... (then she just... did it). Now she intentionally creates safe fitness environments for others.  Listen to our convo!

If you wanna find my new stuff, or the video version of this episode, you can find it at carolinedooner.substack.com. If you're still struggling with your relationship with food, make sure to read the book The F*ck It Diet!!!

The Bitcoin Podcast Episode Isabel mentioned

Why Isabel Foxen Duke left anti-diet coaching & her former political worldview behind…


Big update! The chaos is ending. Listen to this episode's intro for the explanation.



This podcast is about to become an archive of old episodes, dedicated to The F*ck It Diet. But before it ends, I need one more chaotic moment: having to repost this episode that I already posted last month. Why? After all of that, trying to merge my old podcast into substack, I decided instead, to "split" my podcasts again, and leave The F*ck It (Diet) Podcast as it's own, standalone archive, that's specific to the food healing journey. This way, it will better be able to support new people who are reading the book, or just finding the information for the first time.



But because I had the podcast merged for a few months over on substack, there were a few episodes that were posted on the new substack feed, that were not posted on the old feed. My episode with Irene on our nervous systems is one of them, so now that I've "split" the podcasts, it has to be "reposted" over here again, if I want it to be on this feed. And, I think this episode is really relevant to "The Emotional Part" of The F*ck It Diet. So I want it to be here! You may have already listened to my conversation with Irene back when I posted it last month! If that's the case, you can just listen to my new intro where I explain why I'm ending this podcast, and starting fresh somewhere else.



My new podcast will be over at carolinedooner.substack.com (there, you can find the actual podcast link listings. So if you want to find my new podcast on spotify or apple, you're going to have to separately follow me over there!)



Also! If you've listened to my conversation with Irene already, she is currently enrolling her yearly program Smart Body, Smart Mind through September 19th, 2022. If you've been wanting to go deep on nervous system and trauma work, make sure to check it out. To get some of her trainings for free, check out her free video series (it's like 2 hours worth of video lessons!).



My Conversation with Irene



Today I am sharing my conversation with Irene Lyon, a trauma expert, educator, and trained somatic practitioner. We talk about some of the basics of the nervous system, the body holding onto trauma, and some myths and misconceptions about how healing works.



If you’ve read The F*ck It Diet or Tired as F*ck, you know how passionate I am about this method of healing, even though… I have been thinking about how much I should be getting back into focusing on it... And, as I say at the end of the episode, I actually just now am back into focusing on it. I just took Irene’s 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up. And I love it all so much, that I am now an affiliate for it. 



What that means is, if you use my link for her program, and sign up, I will get a commission.



As I mentioned above, Irene is currently enrolling her yearly program Smart Body, Smart Mind through September 19th, 2022. If you've been wanting to go deep on nervous system work, make sure to check it out! To go through some of her trainings for free, check out her free trauma healing video series (it's like 2 hours worth of video lessons!)

This Podcast is Ending + The Nervous System with Irene Lyon (again)

Welcome to this super casual podcast by Caroline Dooner, the author of The F*ck It Diet and Tired as F*ck.
 
Back in 2016, this podcast was a way to talk more about The F*ck It Diet, and healing from dieting, but most of the episodes dedicated to The F*ck It Diet were posted pre-2022. 

Now Caroline also talks about other relevant (and irrelevant) topics like: black and white thinking, cult mentality, exhaustion, productivity culture, and allll the rest. Caroline chats with herself and with other experts and practitioners about topics near and dear to her heart. There will be lots of rambling. There will be lots of conversations with her dog. There was even a one year period back in 2017 when she didn't know why her microphone was so loud. But this podcast WILL be free from diet culture, and newer episodes will be dedicated to things that Caroline finds interesting 10 years after healing her own relationship with food.

Seerut Chawla on Cancel Culture


Note: This episode was actually recorded for my other podcast, Problematic. But I originally recorded the conversation when, for a short time, my podcasts were merged. So don't let the outtro confuse you!



Today I’m sharing my conversation with Seerut Chawla. We talk about her brief foray into cancelling someone on the internet, her change of heart, and both of our experiences waking up to the insanity and cult dynamics of cancel culture… It’s a good one!

THANKS! BYE! HAPPY BELATED MEMORIAL DAY AND/OR HAPPY TUESDAY

Cancel Culture Chat – with Seerut Chawla

Today's episode is a conversation with Lindsey Lockett, trauma educator and coach, and she tells her story of how she left Fundamentalist Christianity, the fallout in her body and mind of living so long in such a binary belief system, and how she found trauma healing and nervous system work. It's an amazing story, and I can't wait for you to hear it!
