Show Notes
The Body Positive Community was a saving grace for me for several years. It helped me find peace and freedom and hope in moving away from being diet addicted and body obsessed. But, it also became another space where there were rules to follow and right and wrong ways to be body positive.
Following the body positive "rules" blindly felt good, until they didn't. I had to do some work around what being body positive meant to me. And how could I be body positive and *still* want to lose weight. This exact discussion came up in one of my 1:1 sessions this week, so this week I'm bringing it to you.
Inside this episode I teach you how to shift things around in your brains so the even if you're someone who wants to lose weight, you can still do it from a place of gratitude and respect, even if the body positive police disagree.
This message, like all of my messages, come down to: decide what makes YOU feel good and what feels good for YOU to think. And then, let the others think whatever. As long as you're doing what feels right to do, you can't mess it up.

In chatting with a client this week, we unpacked an old belief she has about herself and what being successful means. She had it in her head that success looks a certain way, so she is always trying to achieve more, make more, be more. But recently she stopped and asked herself what truly makes her happy- and it wasn't her bank account or title.
This week we have another mailbag situation. The specifics of this are around political differences within a family, and how to move through them… but the overall takeaway from this podcast is how to navigate when people do things differently than you and you find yourself judging them because of it.
One of my fave topics! This comes up so frequently in my coaching and mentoring sessions: "I feel like I am made of more but I am paralyzed by fear." Cool. Welcome to being human.
Sometimes parenting is about parenting. And sometimes parenting is about re-parenting ourselves.
Today you get part two of my conversation with Raina, where we dive into what has happened since she finished writing her book, Bare.
