In short: love all of ya self before ya love others, damsels. And if you like what you're hearing, help a damsel out and leave us a rate and review, would ya?

Anti-diet therapist and author Judith Matz joins us to talk about shifting the focus of emotional eating toward the underlying deprivation and diet mentality, why turning to food to meet emotional needs isn't an “eating problem” but a “soothing problem,” how diet culture and marginalization rob us of the ability to meet our needs, why Health at Every Size and intuitive eating are better approaches for true health, Judith's work teaching other therapists about weight stigma, and so much more! Plus, Christy answers a listener question about how to frame public health efforts to change the built environment in a way that doesn't stigmatize people in larger bodies. (This episode originally aired on April 9, 2018.) Judith is the co-author of two books on the topics of eating and weight struggles. Beyond a Shadow of a Diet: The Comprehensive Guide to Treating Binge Eating Disorder, Compulsive Eating and Emotional Overeating has been called “the new bible” on this topic for professionals. The Diet Survivor's Handbook: 60 Lessons in Eating, Acceptance and Self-Care was a #1 bestseller on Amazon and a favorite resource for therapists to use with clients. She is also the author of Amanda's Big Dream, a children's book that helps kids to pursue their dreams – at any size! Judith has a private practice in Skokie, IL, where she focuses her work with clients who want to get off the diet/binge rollercoaster and learn to feel at home in their bodies. Through her individual counseling, groups, workshops, presentations and books, Judith has helped thousands of people to develop self-care skills that increase physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing without a focus on the pursuit of weight loss. Through educational programs, she is dedicated to helping people end the preoccupation with food and weight and to fighting weight stigma.

With so many images shoved in our faces of women postpartum who seem to "bounce back" and have it all, it's no wonder we become obsessed with doing the same.  The truth is, every woman's body changes after having a baby, and it continues to change with subsequent pregnancies, and as the years go by.  It's time to embrace that change!  Join us as we interview intuitive eating and body positive dietitian mama of one, Kathryn Riner. We discuss a realistic postpartum sequence of changes, and walk through ways to embrace those changes, without the guilt.   Patreon | Love what you're hearing?

We spoke with Kelly Clark, an author and advocate for mental health awareness, whose compelling story of struggle, pain, hope and recovery resonated with us deeply. Kelly has been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, which at a young age collided head on with disordered eating and body image concerns, leading to a deep need for perfection and all or nothing thinking. Her own recovery story has led her to become an advocate for others, and her professional endeavors include writing a book and creating a business dedicated to helping people smash the system that keeps them punishing themselves so they can find out who they are without disordered eating. CW: eating disorder behaviors, OCD behaviors, trauma experiences, talk about food and dieting

In this chat, we spoke to the incredibly stylish and spirited Deni. Sharing their journey of coming out as non-binary Deni reveals how they've built confidence and grown to become more accepting of who they are in their own skin. Deni speaks to how thankful they are for their hardworking and humble family upbringing which in turn fuelled their work ethic and drive and embedded a deep appreciation for the fruits of their labour. This chat provides a much needed reminder that growth and navigating one's insecurities is a non-linear journey and that it's okay to fake it till you make it.  SPECIAL GUESTDeni Todorovič   SPECIAL SHARESSteph: KIC's TikTok Accounts https://www.tiktok.com/@steph_claire_smithhttps://www.tiktok.com/@keepitcleanersquad?lang=en https://www.tiktok.com/@laura.henshaw?lang=en Laura: Gatorade: Wisdom From The Top with Guy Raz interview with Sarah Robb O'Hagan SPONSOR SHOUTOUT Give the gift of glowing skin this year with Bangn Body's exclusive, limited edition holiday bundles!

If you've been feeling disconnected with your body lately, then this episode is for you. J.Go teaches us the methods she's used to reconnect with her body: Nurture, Nature, Naked.  J.Go Lately:  Hosted the J.Go Retreat Had one of her biggest Body Confident Blueprint launches Coming off of that high, she felt lost, disconnected and confused. Why? “It's easy to get caught up in goals, and you can lose yourself in the process if you're not doing things that bring you joy everyday” She recognized that she did not feel connected to her body. Ask yourself: When do I feel the most connected to myself? (When do I feel most connected to God and the Universe?) For J.Go, it's three words: nurture, nature, naked 1) Nurture - Some tips on how to give yourself nourishment:  Write a letter to your younger self. Ask, “What would make you happy today?” It usually comes back to play If you feel like nothing can bring you joy anymore - ask for help.  Give yourself some TLC, make your favorite comfort food 2) Nature - Tips for how to be more present in nature: We're on our screens a lot more now and it's important to get outside.  The more you consume what others are doing, the more disconnected you feel  Go for a walk and be more present by breathing, listening, looking, and finding gratefulness 3) Naked - Options for being naked to love and affirm your body:  It's easy to focus on your worth outside of your body. Your worth isn't tied to your body, but your body still provides you life and deserves to be celebrated.  Dry brushing Putting on lotion that you love Say thank you to each part as you pamper it Baths gives us an opportunity to slow down in a vulnerable state Dance naked and take your time getting dressed Do yoga naked (or with less clothes on than usual) How to get started? Journal and ask yourself two questions:  - What do I do that makes me feel most connected to myself?  - Ask your younger self: What brings you joy? How can I find joy today?  Take one day a week for 5-10 minutes to journal. What's something we did really well this past week? What can we do to show ourselves more love this week?  “Life is short y'all. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself and you're going through the motions, you're missing out on what it fully feels like to live.”

Loving yourself is the greatest revolution, but most people struggle with accepting themselves. To be body-positive means loving your body regardless of your color, race, size, or shape. Today's conversation will equip you with encouraging ways to love your body without requiring another person's approval. You will also be equipped with practical tips that you can employ to love yourself more. In this episode of The Pick Truth Podcast, hosts Dr. Vicky Harris & LaMont Hearn Jr. are joined by Dr. Jessika Benson, a Professional School Counselor, for over 15 years.

Vicky and LaMont start the conversation by reviewing their experiences for the past week. In today's episode, the hosts share the confession of a woman who is upset with her husband's body fitness activities. The woman's love for her husband seems to have been glued to his body shape and size. His recent body fitness activities are kind of denying her the opportunities, closeness, and intimacy they once had together. The lady is already at a point where she is filing divorce papers. Find out more in this episode! They also rate and discuss the confession of a man whose motivation to go exercising is to have a body shape that will please women.

I've never met a woman that struggles with food or struggles with her body that isn't absolutely sick and tired of crazy, restrictive dieting! ★ She is sick of constantly weighing, measuring, calculating... ★ She is sick of stressing, guessing, and OBSESSING... ★ She is sick of all the judgment, self-criticism, self-loathing, and shame... ★ She is sick of valuing herself based on how much she weighs or how much she ate that day... ★ She is sick of living in a PRISON -- a body prison, a food prison, a prison that she doesn't know how to get out of... Yet when we talk about what they are currently doing to address their struggles... Dieting is the #1 answer I hear. (The restrictive, all-or-nothing kind of dieting.) ★ She is actively voting on the thing she claims to hate. ★ She is actively choosing the thing that's KEEPING her in the prison. And to boot... ★ She is actively choosing something that she's identified hasn't worked, isn't working, and (when she gets really honest) knows will NEVER work. It's one big Catch 22. There's absolutely no shame and no judgement around this WHATSOEVER -- it's the same cycle that I was stuck on for DECADES, and I have nothing but love and compassion for those stuck on that same up-and-down roller coaster... because it absolutely SUCKS! That's why I'm here to simply point it out, shed some awareness, and hopefully shine a light on this conundrum that a lot of women don't even realize they have become entangled in... And I want to make the whole thing EASIER for you! So you can just be done with it and spend your time, energy, heart, and soul on all the things you REALLY want to be spending it on. That's why my latest podcast episode is dedicated to just that. ★ Watch The Stressless Eating Webinar:  https://www.StresslessEating.com

Catherine and Francis welcome Faith Elicia, author and advocate for those experiencing eating disorder, to the podcast to discuss her journey of recovery and her book, Do You See What I See? Faith developed an eating disorder as a coping mechanism while growing up with an alcoholic parent. She discusses ways in which her eating disorder experience was not unlike having an addiction, what it was like developing eating disorder behaviors later in adulthood, and how shame intersected with her experience. Faith addresses that while treatment was helpful, buying into her own recovery is what ultimately created a more sustainable path. Her goal in writing, creating YouTube videos about her experience, and advocating for those struggling with their own eating disorder behaviors is to invite readers and listeners to rewrite their own stories in a way that allows them to have a happy ending. The co-hosts were thankful for her time and energy, and hope you enjoy!CW: eating disorder behaviors, alcohol use in the home, trauma experiences, difficult familial relationships and experiences
