Leisha: Reconnecting to Nature to Heal Body Image

Leisha stopped by the studio to talk about her journey, healing from an eating disorder breakups, and negative body comments, through getting outside.
 
After chasing external validation, and continuously having to handle body based comments as a teenager, she found a new way to deal with her emotions by CHOOSING to take care of herself.  
 
For Leisha, getting outside encouraged movement and finding joy, as well as getting in touch with her inner child.  Reconnecting to nature helped her heal and remember that we're all connected, like mycelia. 
 
Reading her favorite authors, Brene Brown and Gabby Bernstein made a huge difference in addressing her shame AND her spirituality by encouraging her to slow down, and sink into stillness.  This woman has been DOING the work.
 
Every moment is a different moment, and you can make a different choice.  You can shift your focus to BEING.  
 
Leisha infuses everything she does with love, including her business, which has helped her to stop hiding pieces of herself. 

Natasha: Nutrition Guidance Like You’ve Never Imagined It

Natasha (@natashacothard)and I talk about all things nutrition... but like you've never imagined.
 
What if you used your food as information?  Truly tuning into your body, how you feel, and how different things affect you, so that you can make informed, empowered decisions about how you want to fuel yourself.  Your body knows the answer, you just have to listen to it.  And YES, you're worth the time it takes to find out.
 
Natasha prides herself on being a "Both/And" person.  Yes, fuel your body, AND find pleasure in food.  Learn how to actually love yourself and your body, by thinking more long term to keep your earthly home HEALTHY and functioning for as long as possible.
 
The biggest takeaway?  Start cutting out ultra processed foods.  Find out how your body reacts to certain things by implementing an elimination diet and listening to the way it reacts when you reintroduce foods.
 
Find out how she shifted her decision making from being aesthetic based to how she actually felt when she fueled herself certain ways.  Leave the critical voice behind and get CURIOUS.

Abrie: Las Vegas Performer Heals Body Image Through Therapy

Abrie's been a professional dancer for as long as I've known her.  A few years ago she moved to Vegas to pursue some BIG dreams.
 
She talks about what it's like being a professional performer in Sin City, the good, the bad, the ugly.  How she deals with the burnout of being seen and perceived.  We talk about her move into fire dancing, how it feels performing solo vs in a group.  And how following some nudges led her into the trip of a lifetime.
 
We talk A LOT about therapy.  How it helped her in healing an eating disorder, and changing her body image in an industry focused on her body.
 
My biggest takeaways from Abrie's advice on body image and acceptance:
+ Being able to remove yourself from your thoughts
+ Remember when you're looking at yourself that it's ONLY LOVE
+ Using solo sex to find your way back into your body
+ Being intimate with yourself is an act of self love
+ Finding your people releases so much body image pressure
+ Go where you're valued
+ And go to therapy

Maria: Breaking Up With The Scale After Losing 50lbs

Maria is a past client of mine, a beautiful soul, and a Virgo (yeah, that's important!)  We got the chance to catch up and touch on a million different topics, with the potential to have gone on for hours!!!
 
We talked about her session with me, her Vitiligo (an autoimmune disorder than causes loss of pigment in skin), how representation of ALL KINDS matters.  We dive into how we both love being the cool Aunt while being child free ourselves.  We touch on non monogamy, filling your cup from multiple people, and having really strong boundaries with the people you allow in your life.
 
And then we got into her intentional decision to lose weight, her nonnegotiable, what that meant for her, and how she did it.  Whether or not losing that last 10 pounds means losing out on the memories that helped put it there.  And most importantly, why she stopped weighing herself, and how it felt as freeing as breaking up with a toxic partner.
 
Buckle up and dive in with us!

Sam: Aren’t You Proud of You?

Somehow my friend Sam got me to divulge so much information about MYSELF on this episode.  We had a great conversation covering SO many topics from endometriosis to relationships.
 
Sam shares about her experience crossing a fitness show off her bucket list, and all things that entails, from pre-show mind fucks to post-show hormonal rebalancing.
 
We talk about getting back to yourself and prioritizing self care as a way of loving YOURSELF, because you can truly combat a negative body image by diving into your passion.
 
We also dove into relationships and dating, keeping them private but not secret, the pains and the joys, for both of us.
 
Join us for a meandering conversation that'll inspire you to get back and find the things you truly enjoy.
 
You can find Sam on most social media platforms @itsasamthing

Edimar: Embracing Sex and Sexuality as a Body Image Practice

[[18+ Content]]
 
Annoying Heads Up: We had some serious technical difficulties and there is some annoying mic noise every once in a while, it is NOT through the whole episode, and TOTALLY WORTH IT to put up with it for this content.
 
Join me for a wide ranging conversation with my guest, Edimar, about sex and sexuality, how leaning into masculine and feminine energy affects sexual experiences AND body image.
 
We touch on her modeling career, experiences with body dysmorphia and her favorite healing practices to falling in love with her body.
 
Practice in the mirror.  Move your body.  Hydrate.  Masturbate.  Say YES.  And book a f*cking photoshoot.

Lauren: Living The Life You Want Without Losing Weight

This conversation with Lauren Slemenda was super eye opening for me.  As a nutrition coach, she jokes that she's almost put herself out of business, because marketing sustainable changes just isn't sexy.  Sustainable changes don't happen in 30 day challenges.
 
We talk about healing your relationship to food and moving your body, focusing conversations on things OTHER than someone's body, and maybe most importantly: you can life the life you want without losing the weight.
 
Wear the bikini, take that trip, learn how to keep oreos in the cupboard without binging.  You can do it all without the scale moving.
