We are all about a  healthy attitude toward food and body image, so this week Nikki chats with us in-depth about how intuitive eating isn't a recent fad, but in fact is a concept about really tuning into your body to develop a healthy relationship with food. While the idea that you should eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full can seem simple, for many people it's not. Thus the process of intuitive eating is reestablishing this connection.

If you have ever been cheated on, or have cheated yourself, there is often a question of "why" or "how did this happen?" In this episode we have an honest conversation about what can motivate cheating, and spoiler alert: it rarely is about the partner not doing enough or being enough. Dr. Piper offers some common reasons that people report for their reasons of cheating, while Nikki shares about her own experiences and challenges through having been betrayed. Connect with us online and follow on Instagram to keep updated.NOTHING HIDDENwith Nikki and Dr. PiperInstagram: @nothinghidden.podcastwww.NothingHiddenPodcast.com

Back for Season 2!! It is inevitable that we will all experience loss(es) at some point in our lives. Grief is the response to loss, and while conventionally we often consider grief as a response to the death of someone, we discuss about grief as a response to loss in general.  We have both experienced grief in different ways, and so today we talk about these experiences and how to move through it. Grief is experienced emotionally, physically, cognitively, behaviorally, socially, culturally, and spiritually.Stages of Grief (Dr. Kubler-Ross)Denial: When you first learn of a loss, it's normal to think, “This isn't happening.” You may feel shocked or numb. This is a temporary way to deal with the rush of overwhelming emotion. It's a defense mechanism.Anger: As reality sets in, you're faced with the pain of your loss. You may feel frustrated and helpless. These feelings later turn into anger. You might direct it toward other people, a higher power, or life in general. To be angry with a loved one who died and left you alone is natural, too.Bargaining: During this stage, you dwell on what you could've done to prevent the loss. Common thoughts are “If only…” and “What if…” You may also try to strike a deal with a higher power.Depression: Sadness sets in as you begin to understand the loss and its effect on your life. Signs of depression include crying, sleep issues, and a decreased appetite. You may feel overwhelmed, regretful, and lonely.Acceptance: In this final stage of grief, you accept the reality of your loss. It can't be changed. Although you still feel sad, you're able to start moving forward with your life.Connect with us online and follow on Instagram to keep updated.NOTHING HIDDENwith Nikki and Dr. PiperInstagram: @nothinghidden.podcastwww.NothingHiddenPodcast.com

You know when you find yourself grabbing for something salty or sweet after having a stressful day or experiencing an emotional moment? In this episode we talk emotional eating or aka. stress and comfort eating. We often use eating to mark time — lunch, for instance, can provide a break in a dragging work day. So we come to associate eating with relief or even excitement, and it’s only natural that we’d reach for those same feelings when we’re worried or sad. There is no hiding in this conversation about emotional eating.Connect with us online and follow on Instagram to keep updated.NOTHING HIDDENwith Nikki and Dr. PiperInstagram: @nothinghidden.podcastwww.NothingHiddenPodcast.com
