 Have you ever jumped on some crazy diet or spent hours counting calories?


We have! (spoiler alert it wasn't a good idea)

My guest this week is the beautiful Jillian Axelrod who, like me, has had her struggles with eating disorders, mental health + self-confidence.
Jillian started working her way through these issues by revamping her social media, building a community around her and slowly sharing her real self online for others to see.

Now, Jillian is an inspiration to many, sharing her message of body positivity and self-acceptance on Social Media.  She's also an activist and writer, as well as being in her last year of college studying Sociology, giving her an interesting insight into diet culture in our society.

On today's episode Jillian and I have an open and honest conversation about all things:

  • Body positivity and acceptance
  • Diet culture
  • Society's expectations
  • Fatphobia

If you've ever felt like you had to change the way you look to meet outside expectations,...

Sexologist, goddess and good friend Kristen Murray is back for another kick-ass episode to teach us everything we need to know about being a badass feminine woman.

It is not uncommon in our society to perceive femininity as weak and fragile and masculinity as strong and capable. I was guilty of this and spent the majority of my life trying to avoid being feminine. It is only recently that I have begun to embrace my feminine side and all its untapped power.

In today’s episode, we divulge all there is to know about what it ACTUALLY means to be feminine. Kristen answers questions such as:

  • What is femininity vs. masculinity?
  • What are the biggest myths about feminine and masculine energy?
  • Why is it bad that so many women get stuck in their masculine energy?
  • What action steps can we take to be more in our feminine energy?

Listen to this episode if you’re ready to take back your strong feminine power.

July 25, 2019 - EP 28: Yes It's Common... No It's NOT Normal

 

When something is common, we recognize that we are not alone and that others also deal with this problem as well... But we can't get that confused with what is normal. Normal implies that we are ordinary, that nothing needs to change and that we should continue on living the way we are.

Here's the thing however, until we are shown evidence or talk about what is normal, then by default we consider what is common around us as normal. 

In this episode I debate three deeply misunderstood common versus normal topics in our society:

  1. depression
  2. foreboding joy
  3. food guilt  

Listen to this episode if you want to challenge how you think about your own life and what is common versus normal for you.
