I get raw. I get real. I get vulnerable.
I share with you my honest account what some days in recovery feel like in hopes that others feel less alone.
Below are excerpts from this episode.
"My eating disorder was my worst enemy and my best friend. You tell me that anorexia is bad, you tell me that bulimia is bad yet you have the audacity to stand there and look me in the eyes and tell me I look beautiful"
"You have no idea the battle people are fighting because you can't always see an eating disorder, it is not obvious... My 6 pack abs were a reflection of the irony that was the societal image of health. I looked like the epitome of wellness while on the inside being the epitome of sickness."
"Eating disorders are not illnesses of the body but illness the mind. So no it may not look like my body is ill but my mind is. So don't tell me I look beautiful, don't ask how to look like me..."
When we talk about it we remove the shame, we take its power and we heal <3
“ We look at individual eating disorder sufferers and say “what’s wrong with you? Why do you think this way around food?” And we put in on them and ignore the structures that created this toxic environment that girls grow up in.” -Naomi (@dietculturesucks)
22 year old Naomi, also known online as “@dietculturesucks” is destroying the diet industry by speaking out about all things diet culture, eating disorders, intuitive movement, fat phobia and body love. She uses her wildly popular instagram account as a guide for what she needed to hear as her 15 year old self.
In a raw, educational and vulnerable episode today we discuss what living with an eating disorder feels like and the complicated process of navigating through it in a culture that reinforces disordered eating behaviors.
Also in this episode we dig into:
"When grounded in self-love everything will be ok"
As a former professional dancer living in Prague, Lola was dancing herself to the breaking point when rehearsing upwards of 12 hours a day. In her late 20s her body finally forced her to pay after years of living in a "Spartan mentality and her life collapsed around her. She was dealing with extreme pain and was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia also known as the "suicide disease", in addition to dealing with an eating disorder, injuries and chronic food allergies. After having a powerful, moving and enlightening experience in her own body, she was convinced that she needed to keep fighting for her life and thus began her journey to self love.
Lola is now a researcher, educator, self-love coach, happiness coach, and Movement/Play therapist who now helps women to reconnect with the wisdom of their body.
In this episode we discuss topics such as:
"Between expectation and reality there is frustration".
I discuss this notion in this week's episode as it relates to difficult people in our lives and what we can do about it.
I will explain to you what it means to prime your brain and then teach you step-by-step my favorite tool when it comes to removing the anger and frustration when dealing with these difficult people.
Come with a pen and paper ready because you are going to need it!

Numbers control our lives, what time we get up in the morning, how fast we drive, the money in the bank and the bathroom scale.
What does the numbers in your life say about you, who you are?
We create stories about the numbers in our life and then assign them moral value.
In this episode we dive into why the numbers related to our body hold no real "weight" when it comes to who we are.
I share with you how I went from numbers controlling who I was to now being unfazed by the scale and it's fluctuations.

We seem to forget that at the core of it all that it is our mind that controls our body.
We can go to the gym and we can eat the kale salad but if our mindset behind why we're doing these things isn't healthy and instead is as a form punishment, then we won't be healthy and we won't be happy.
In this episode I talk with with 2018 #GymShark66 winner Sade Pramberger about the importance of mental health as the crucial yet often forgotten foundational component of physical health and happiness.
Sade shares tips on how to calm anxiety, what it means to love and accept your body, steps for a killer morning routine and why diets are not a sustainable lifestyle.
