You're constantly thinking about what you're going to eat, how much, at what time, whether or not it's the "right" thing, too much, how it's going to impact your weight.

Leslie came to me in September when she was feeling rock bottomed in her dieting pursuits, but still having a desire to lose 70 lbs.

2023-09-1121 minLove Yourself Naked#45 - Body Image 101I have had loads of questions recently about how to improve body image, self-esteem, confidence...all the things body! Admittedly, this is one of the most difficult journeys to be on, because while we can hide our relationship with food, we cannot pretend our body is anything other than what it is.
Living with an eating disorder and disordered eating for over a decade made it incredibly difficult to overcome the feelings of resentment I felt towards my body when it would change. It also made it difficult to not feel like a failure if I wasn't "...2023-09-0422 minLove Yourself Naked#44 - Combining Psychology and Personal Training For Women, With Gabby GoodbrandGabby and I were recently introduced by our mutual friend Lindsay (peep episode #21 for my interview with her) and was fascinated by her professional transition from psychology to personal training.
Pre-covid, Gabby was a school psychologist, but realize through the pandemic how important regular physical activity and connection exercising with other people was to her.
Through that, she began running her own self-led workouts in the park, and eventually decided to open her own women's only fitness facility in South Surrey, BC called Goodbrand Fitness. They offer a variety of classes for women including bootcamps...2023-08-2846 minLove Yourself Naked#43 - Why I Switched My Practice From Weight Loss to Food FreedomA few days ago, I made an Instagram post re-introducing myself.

We all know how routine is difficult to keep up when on vacation, during holiday seasons and even on weekends. I want to invite you to let go of the need to control the routine, and to not feel the need to justify your habits changing when life changes.
The "hall pass mentality" that I chat about is really about embracing permission to enjoy your experiences without succumbing to the all or nothing mindset that often has us feeling like we have to make up for our poor choices...2023-08-0724 minLove Yourself Naked#40 - HAES, Eating Disorder Therapy, and More!

I want you to know that whatever discipline or willpower you think you're lacking, is actually just diet culture trying to steer you farther away from your set point - which is where we can live at peace with food and allow our body to keep our weight stable, without having to jump in...2023-07-2422 minLove Yourself Naked#38 - Transformation Series: Discovering Intuitive Eating With Client KellyClient Kelly joins me this week to share her transformation from being all-consumed by her weight loss goals and obsession with dieting, to stepping into intuitive eating.

The food we may commonly (and unwarrantedly) refer to as "crap".
Or maybe, you've actually tried just eating. No food rules, no meals plans. What we would consider "eating intuitively" and you did in fact end up over indulging on all the sweet and salty treats.

She was sharing how upset she is that she just can't seem to get rid of it, despite doing all the right things - working out 5 days a week, eating clean, minimizing carbs. She's even tried intermittent fasting, and nothing seems to work. Sound familiar? This is a story I have heard all too often, and I know it is not an uncommon experience.

With Jacqueline SweeneyI am SO excited to share the lovely Jack Sweeney on this week's episode. Jack and I connected back in December to bring some light to the experience that is motherhood, being a social media presence and navigating the pressure to uphold certain images - particularly as they relate to diet culture.

Or maybe, you've tried meal planning in the past, but it never seems to work for you?

At the time, I didn't know why, but this fear absolutely kept me entrenched in diet culture, and feeling the need to control my food.
It perpetuated those feelings of being out of control when I wasn't able to track everything, or if I didn't know the ingredients of a particular meal.
It made me feel anxious to go out and eat anything that wouldn't comply with my diet.
And it took me YEARS to understand why...2023-05-1536 minLove Yourself Naked#28 - 3 DAILY Rituals for a Healthy Body ImageThere is no denying that poor body image and chronic dieting are a current epidemic. An epidemic that really isn't talking about enough, and is a challenging one to navigate because the prescription for wellness isn't a quick fix.
