Angela Beaulieu is an ACE CPT and Pn1 Nutrition Coach who has been in the health and wellness industry for over 10 years. She is also certified in Spinning, TRX, and is a lululemon Legacy Ambassador. Angela spent over a decade hating the body she was in and was fearful of food. Ditching toxic diet/fitness culture beliefs and letting go of “perfection” saved her life (and her marriage). After coming to grips with her disordered eating and body dysmorphia she decided to make her mess her mission: to help other women ditch the toxic diet mentality and truly believe their worth is more than any number. Her fitness and health coaching programs empower women to breakthrough limiting beliefs, learn to trust their badass bodies, and stop fearing food so they can start living life to the fullest. Angela believes: There is no one way to eat or move All bodies are worth loving When your mind is right- everything else follows If you're not having fun then something is wrong In this episode, Angela shares her experience with disorder eating and body dysmorphia which leads to us discussing how ED's don't have a look. Ang tells us how her definition of health has changed over the years and then discusses the four things she says keep women stuck in diet culture (comparison, fear of weight gain, unrealistic ideals, and not knowing what to do). We talk about how transformational making peace with food is, rant about our shared disdain for words like 'willpower' and 'discipline,' and Angela wraps up the episode by sharing a beautiful analogy for black and white thinking.  Learn more from and connect with Ang: IG: @itsangelabeaulieu Web: https://www.angelabeaulieucoaching.com/   ===================================  If you'd like to contact me to work together, provide feedback on the podcast, ask clarifying questions, provide a suggestion for a guest or future episode, or for any other reason you can find me at: IG: @giveemthebirdpodcast & @haley_gtbcoaching Web: gtbcoaching.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Jeff Ash is a husband of a chronic pain/illness warrior, father of 2 neurodivergent adult daughters, dog lover, nutritionist, Intuitive Eating Coach, Personal Trainer, and host of the Men's Intuition Podcast where he seeks to teach and encourage other men (and of course everyone else too) on their own Intuitive Eating journeys. His passion lies in helping individuals and families transform their relationships with food, exercise, and their bodies all without restriction, guilt, or shame. Join me this week as I sit down with Jeff to talk all things intuitive eating and men. Jeff shares how his approach to his masculinity is influenced being raised by a nurturing father who was in tune with his emotions and how his current weight neutral approach to health and fitness was influenced by both his wife's journey with chronic pain and illness and Ellen Satter's DOR.  Jeff discusses the ways that disordered eating/unhealthy relationships with food present for men and how society's idea of what it means to be a man prevents men from seeking support.  Jeff also talk about the importance of fathers and all parents having open conversations with their kids and being aware of signs of disordered eating or unhealthy relationship with food, body, etc. And then he provides some recommendations for how to approach this topic with men and advocate for support, emphasizing being strategic, especially for women.  Learn more from and connect with Jeff: IG: @intuitive.eating.men Web: HopeDrivesMe.com TikTok: @intutive.eating.men (but I have yet to do anything there quite yet ... maybe some day) =================================== If you'd like to contact me to work together, provide feedback on the podcast, ask clarifying questions, provide a suggestion for a guest or future episode, or for any other reason you can find me at: IG: @giveemthebirdpodcast & @haley_gtbcoaching Web: gtbcoaching.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
