How Diet Culture is Normalized
Are you in charge of your own thoughts and beliefs about your body and yourself?
Are you sure?
This episode illustrates how complex systems – including economic profit motives and slick psychological marketing – influence your thoughts and sense of self like you never imagined.
“Empowered” Emotional Eating and Weight Loss
Why is it so hard to come to a place of peace and acceptance around your body and your weight?
This episode offers a conversation on “emotional eating” like you’ve never heard before.
By the time you are done listening, you will never think of “emotional” eating in the same way. You will have all of the nuanced perspectives and mindset shifts – and perhaps even the skills and tools – to heal this painful issue once and for all!
Acceptance vs Resignation & Defeat
Why is it so hard to come to a place of peace and acceptance around your body and your weight?
This episode illustrates how the concept of acceptance differs significantly between two distinct models of weight loss and well-being.
In “Diet Drama Land” acceptance means defeat – you will never achieve your goals.
In “Happy Calories® World” acceptance is the key to freedom. Acceptance not only brings a deep sense of peace – it also paradoxically turbo charges your results.
Culture Wars: Diet Culture vs Recovery Culture
In the “Diet Culture” vs “Recovery Culture” war everyone loses.
This episode discusses what the medical community overlooks when trying to address eating disorders. The resulting “recovery culture” can be just as toxic and deadly as “diet culture” itself.
Join me in a conversation about how BOTH “cultures” are healed through the lens of the Happy Calories Don’t Count® model.
Toxic Body Positivity
Is “Body Positivity” really a good thing?
Join me in a discussion of how many of the conversations around “body positivity” really do nothing to help women heal and transform their relationships to their bodies and themselves.
Learn what you do – and not do – to improve your sense of self, optimize your physical results and develop authentic body positivity.
Hint: It has nothing to do with “loving your body” or yourself!
The “Price” of Your Ideal Body
What price would you be willing to pay to get the body of your dreams?
This is an honest question – one that I would really like you to consider.
Are you thinking in terms of time and money – to go to the gym, to hire personal trainers, to shop for organic groceries and prepare “healthy” meals? Are you thinking in terms of surgical – and non-surgical solutions? Are you thinking in terms of personal and spiritual growth?
Do you think all of this is silly, vain and a waste of time and that we – as women – should be more concerned about other “more important” things?
Your body is the vehicle through which you experience this life. Therefore, how you feel in your body and how you feel about your body directly impacts the quality of your life.
So join me in a discussion of what it will really “cost” you to create a body and life you love.
