For more than 25 years The Body Positive has helped over a million people in 28 countries worldwide reclaim their health, reduce anxiety and depression, and increase self-compassion and confidence to live full, happy lives.  Connie's own experience with an eating disorder in her teen years and the death of her sister Stephanie has inspired her life's work to help people live with more appreciation and love for their precious bodies. She co-founded The Body Positive in honor of her sister, and to ensure that her daughter Carmen and other children would grow up in a new world—one where people are free to focus on the things in life that really matter. Connie is the author of Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body and she has been training Be Body Positive Facilitators for more than twenty years, and uses her creative skills to produce The Body Positive's curricula, videos, digital courses, and training.

In a world of diet culture, unrealistic expectations, and unhealthy programming, organizations like The Body Positive are out here resetting the conversation. This week, Lau and Rich have the rare pleasure of talking to Connie Sobczak, Founder & Executive Director of this spectacular organization.

The post Rebroadcast: Being Body Positive with Connie Sobczak appeared first on Seven Health: Intuitive Eating and Anti Diet Nutritionist.

We live in a youth-obsessed society, that tells us our value declines as we get older.  Simply being alive implies growing older, but after a certain point, what may lie ahead becomes more real.  We may desire something that we can’t humanly have, as we are made to believe that our youthfulness is our ticket to remain relevant. Then, we might feel shamed for not better preserving that youth.  It’s exhausting.  And it’s merciless.  Instead of seeing aging as something to fight, what joys can we amplify to mitigate the losses of youth, so that we continue to embrace who we are?   Join us for today’s conversation!  Connie Sobczak is here to share her thoughts on aging.  She is the founder of The Body Positive https://thebodypositive.org/.  Plus, Connie has authored two outstanding books – Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!) and The Wise Woman Guidebook.  You can also find her at conniesobczak.com.

To celebrate International Women's Day, which falls on March 8th, Bababam is replaying Do You Really Know episodes which look at the struggle against inequalities between women and men. All week long, refresh your knowledge about ideas and concepts which promote female empowerment. What is body positivity ? Body positivity has taken over social media in the last few years. The movement is based on the relationship we have with our bodies, encouraging us to achieve self-acceptance. The drive took off in 1996 thanks to two American women. Elizabeth Scott, a psychotherapist, was contacted by Connie Sobczak, who was victim to an eating disorder at the time. In honour of her dead sister, Sobczak created the Body Positive movement along with Scott. The organisation encourages individuals to change the world, rather than feeling the need to change their bodies . The two founders continue to offer seminars and other group training sessions to this day.  What does the movement really offer people to help with their body image? How are body positive posts immune to that treatment? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is an endemic? What is cholesterol?

Compassion is the necessary foundation for all healing. When we can have compassion for the parts of ourselves that we dislike the most, we can let go of the debilitating shame and self-hatred we have caried for so long, and use our compassion to bring love, understanding and then, if necessary, change.  Connie Sobczakconnie.sobczak@gmail.comConnie Sobczak is the author of Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!), and Co-Founder of The Body Positive, a nonprofit organization that teaches people to listen to their bodies, learn, and thrive.

FIRST, let me apologize for the terrible sound quality on this episode.  We tried some unreliable technology which dampened the questions, but the answers are still very clear.  If you don't know the questions, they're the same ones asked in every episode and can be downloaded from http://www.TheBizCall.com.  As for this episode, meet Connie Sobczak, owner of The Body Positive, a hybrid non-profit that has been turning people's body images -- and their entire lives around -- since 1996.

If it feels like your critical voice is on overdrive as you hit middle age, you need to hear this. Maybe your critical voice has already been running your life all these years, pushing you to try diet after diet, workout after workout, without feeling like any of it makes a difference.  Connie Sobczak, author, and co-founder of The Body Positive is the queen of helping people embrace their critical voice rather than get run over by it.  In her book Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!), Connie skillfully and lovingly reconnects readers to their precious bodies, life force, and authentic beauty. In our conversation, Connie shares how her own relationship with food and her body, and the devastating loss of her sister inspired her to create The Body Positive in the hopes of ending body shame and disordered eating for generations to come. Today Connie embraces all of the competencies of the Body Positive Model in her own life as she embraces the aging process as a woman in her 60's. Her latest project, due out in the fall of 2021, centers on inspiring other middle-aged women to reconnect with their intuition, create community, and embrace their authentic beauty. You're definitely going to want to take notes on this one. Grab for favorite beverage, journal, and let's dive in.

The post 197: Being Body Positive with Connie Sobczak appeared first on Seven Health.

For this episode, I talk with Connie Sobczak, one of the Founders of The Body Positive about what body positivity is and how the term has been co-opted by the diet industry over the years.

On today's episode of Teen-y , we talk body positivity with the queen of body positivity herself, Connie Sobczak! Connie is the creator of The Body Positive, a non-profit helping people develop a balanced and loving relationship with their bodies that is guided by love, forgiveness, and humor. In this episode, we zoom into what it means to be body positive and how you can develop a loving relationship with your body.

Inside Games (0:00:00) Is there anything better than a nice sunny day when you can let your kids run around in the backyard? The cold winter months can be brutal during those moments when the snow piles on your lawn and your children, still bustling with activity, are forced to remain indoors without any kind of outlet for their energy. If you feel like you struggle to keep your kids entertained when it's cold outside, you're not alone. We are joined by Lisa's sister Gina James, a mother, educator, and a dear friend of the Lisa Show.  Time Management (0:18:00) Are you too busy to even take a moment to breathe? Being busy sometimes sounds like you are really getting the most out of your time, when in fact it might be the opposite. So many people struggle to manage their time and end up feeling like they spent their whole day running back and forth without really getting anything done. We are joined by motivational speaker and author Michelle McCullough as she tells us more about how busy people can learn to manage their time better.  Shameless New Year's Resolutions (0:33:24) Instead of eggnog and gingerbread cookies filling our grocery stores, they may now be filling out our curves and clothes. Despite the dread of a few extra pounds, hopefully we all enjoyed this holiday season and the many delicacies associated with it. And now that we have entered the new year, let's not be too hard on ourselves as we make resolutions for 2020. Maintaining positive body image after Christmas, however, may be easier said than done. Joining us is Connie Sobczak to help us make healthy resolutions from a place of fulfillment rather than shame.   Punting Conflict (0:49:21) When we are faced with difficult conversations or conflicts, how can we know that we aren't ready to discuss them, and how can we communicate that to someone else? Conflict coach and certified mediator, Emily Taylor, calls this “punting conflict” and she joins us to share how we can express that we just aren't ready, willing or available to talk about difficult topics.  Overcoming What Else (1:04:38) We are told at a young age that “the world is our oyster” inspiring us to dream big and seek out the best in life. While we do have endless opportunities the constant search for the next best thing might do us more harm than good. Learning to overcome the thought that something better is on the horizon will benefit our happiness in the long run. Here to tell us how to do this is Kirk Voss. Kirk is a marriage and family therapist. Mini Book Club (1:20:43) Rachel Wadham, host of Worlds Awaiting, shares some of the best books that have been banned or removed from various libraries and schools across the country. Dating Apps (1:29:51) Online dating is one of the most common ways people are meeting their significant others. It is estimated that one-third of married couples in the U.S. met online, and about 15 percent of adults have used dating sites or apps. But sometimes taking the first step to make an online profile can be intimidating, and there are a lot of bad stories out there about dating online. We are joined by the editorial director of Bumble, one of the most successful social media dating apps. Clare O'Connor will share with us some of her dating profile tips as well as how people can stay safe online.

What is body positivity ?Body positivity has taken over social media in the last few years. The movement is based on the relationship we have with our bodies, encouraging us to achieve self-acceptance.The drive took off in 1996 thanks to two American women. Elizabeth Scott, a psychotherapist, was contacted by Connie Sobczak, who was victim to an eating disorder at the time. In honour of her dead sister, Sobczak created the Body Positive movement along with Scott. The organisation encourages individuals to change the world, rather than feeling the need to change their bodies . The two founders continue to offer seminars and other group training sessions to this day. Body positivity posts can be found all over Instagram, with hashtags alongside photos of people of all body types and morphologies.Body positivity is first and foremost an ideology, rather than just a collection of photos. The movement helps those with self-image challenges to love their bodies. Getting started is really simple. Stand in front of a mirror and say out loud the things you notice most about your body. Most people mention their supposed flaws before anything positive.A body positive attitude will help you see these “flaws” as qualities and therefore actually appreciate them. The idea is that you say what you like about yourself and show off your flaws, rather than hiding them. This helps us to feel beautiful and love ourselves. Which in turn allows us to overcome fears and break down taboos.Check out the story of breast cancer survivor Ericka Hart for example. She became a body positive symbol by posing topless following breast reconstruction surgery. It turned out that prior to the surgery, she hadn’t been able to find a single photo of a black woman having undergone the same procedure. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Purpose with guest Connie Sobczak Following our purpose leads us to the path that feeds our soul. We all possess unique gifts and we all have the need to express those gifts. To find our calling is to find the path of our hearts, the way of life that makes us feel alive and glad to be here. Over time we may find many different paths, small and large. We find our calling by listening to our inner voice and doing what feels right and true to ourselves.

November Savings (0:00:00) Thanksgiving is a time of happiness for many, but everyone who has been in charge of the wallet around Thanksgiving time also knows how expensive it can get. Traveling expenses, food costs, cute fall décor, and Black Friday can add up to the point where it may seem overwhelming (and we're not even at Christmas yet!). Consider this as your time to calm down, take a deep breath, and tell yourself that it's going to be ok. Our guest, Rachel Ritlop, is here to give us her tips for saving money during Thanksgiving time. She is the founder of the lifestyle blog “The Confused Millennial” which covers important topics such as family finances. Bitcoin Basics (0:17:10) There's a nebulous new force creeping into the edges of the American economy. In 2009, an anonymous person online found something fascinating: virtual gold in an online resource called Bitcoin. This faceless programmer created a system where online mathematicians can “mine” for this gold, and then use it as money. Money that isn't regulated by the government. Sounds a little complex doesn't it?  Luckily, with us is Thomas Flake, an economist and founder of a Bitcoin operating business. Positive Body Image (0:32:34) As we pull our pumpkin and pecan pies out of the oven next week, and then gingerbread and sugar cookies out the following week, maintaining self-control can be difficult. Something else that is just as important to maintain during this fun time filled with festive food is our positive body image. We have Connie Sobczak, the co-founder and executive director of The Body Positive and author of Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body, here to share how we can enjoy all that the holiday season has to offer while still loving ourselves. Our Relationship with Animals (0:50:34) You may love your dog or cat, but when a raccoon or mouse enters your property you call an exterminator. Whether you love them or hate them, eat them or don't, you can't deny that we've got a pretty complicated relationship with our four legged friends. Why is this and how do these relationships differ across the world? Here to talk us through it is Hal Herzog teacher, anthrozoologist and author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat. National Geographic Atlas of National Parks (1:07:40) Did you know that over 330 million people visit America's national parks each year? Here on the Lisa Show, we love our National Parks. We talked about them throughout the summer, highlighted specific parks, and even visited them! Maybe you're gearing up for your national parks visit this year, or maybe you're just looking for a little adventure this morning. In any case, we're talking with Jon Waterman, adventurer and author of National Geographic's Atlas of the National Parks. He's going to tell us a little bit about this new book and our beautiful national parks! Making It TV Show (1:23:00) If you haven't checked out NBC's creative competition series “Making It”, then this is your invitation to do so! The show is about eight talented creators from across the country that make homemade projects in hopes of impressing the judges. It promotes a spirit of creativity for those competing and for those at home. That can definitely benefit us around this time of year! One of the two guest judges for the show is Dayna Isom Johnson who also happens to be Etsy's trend expert. She's with us to share what we can expect from this season of “Making It” and how we can find creative holiday gifts on Etsy.  Mini Book Club (1:33:03) Rachel Wadham, host of Worlds Awaiting, shares great dystopian books.

Struggling with an eating disorder for many years, Michelle Vina-Baltsas faced her fears and addressed her issues. She talks about her current relationship with food, and how she learned to love herself. Michelle also describes how she treats herself with kindness. Q & A Why do you think self love is important? It’s the foundation of my life. When I’m not in self love, I’m in bashing, and that’s not a good place for me to be. There’s no happiness there. What was the number one thing that was holding you back from accepting self love? For me it was that I had to do it perfectly. I didn’t realize there were degrees – like I could get there. I thought, what about taking baby steps in between working for towards that. When I did that, I felt much better. Who is one person who has changed your life for the better? My Husband. I feel his love all the time. What is the best advice you have ever received? Everything I need is already inside of me. What is a self care habit that you practice regularly? Meditation for me is a daily practice that has dramatically changed my life. Do you have a favorite quote? “I praise you for all I am, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Scripture. Can you share with us a resource or an app that we can use to help our own self care practice grow? I highly recommend “Calm.” It’s a free app with wonderful guided meditations. What book are you reading right now? Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body, by Connie Sobczak. What is the one thing that you are most passionate about? Helping women to see that they are enough. . . just as they are. Because they, too, are fearfully and wonderfully made. Guest Bio and Opportunity to Connect More Michelle Vina-Baltsas is a coach who helps women with their food and body image so they can feel confident and powerful in the skin they're in. www.michellevinabaltsas.com Facebook Twitter, Intagram, Pinterest: @vbmichelle Michelle’s ebook "Are You Really Hungry?" is a great resource for women who struggle with emotional eating and body shame.

Has your daughter ever eaten a big bag of Cheetos and then fifteen minutes later run out of the room and screamed, “I’m so fat.” Monitoring teenage girls and their food choices can be tough for moms. You can tell your daughter is struggling with her body image and you try to calm her down and she gets angry. You try to hold your daughter accountable by asking her if she really wants that second Crave cupcake and well…she doesn’t say thank you mom. Moms know that a healthy diet is important and when we try to help our daughters it can quickly go to drama. In this episode I interview Connie Sobczak, the author of Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!). She is an educator, speaker, filmmaker, and co-founder of The Body Positive, a non-profit organization where, for the past 20 years, she has skillfully and lovingly reconnected teens and adults to their body wisdom to make more balanced, joyful self-care choices. Her Be Body Positive Model offers a guide for people to create a relationship with their whole selves that is guided by love, forgiveness, and humor. Connie’s experience with an eating disorder in her teen years and the death of her sister Stephanie inspired her life’s work to create a world where all people are free to love their bodies. She raised her daughter, Carmen, in The Body Positive community, where children and teens learn to value their authentic beauty and identity, and use their energy and intellect to make positive changes in their own lives and in their communities. In this episode Connie tells us why she started The Body Positive and why she wrote her book Embody. (which I highly recommend) Connie encourages moms to not make negative comments about  their daughters food choices and eating habits. She states that it won’t help and will only create shame and resistance. Connie has a fresh approach that is practical, helpful, and doable for moms. In this episode she shares her proven techniques of The Body Positive that she has used for 20 years in schools and communities. Connie believes in creating supportive communities so that it’s not all on mom. She also shares what moms can do to help their daughters love their unique bodies.
