Today Virginia is chatting with Jeff Hunger who is an assistant professor of social psychology at Miami University in Ohio, who studies weight stigma. Our focus of this episode is Jeff's work on anti-fat bias, understanding how we internalize it, the difference between implicit and explicit bias, and how we start to separate out concepts like body image struggles from the larger conversation of anti-fat bias. We cover a lot of important ground. Including Taylor Swift.If you want more conversations like this one, please rate and review us in your podcast player! And become a paid Burnt Toast subscriber.

Let's talk about haters, critics, and naysayers and their impact on our manifestations. Should we listen to them, let them take our confidence down, or is there a learning lesson when someone says you're not good enough? Can we use critique as an opportunity for growth? Consider this: If everyone is happy with what you're up to, you probably aren't stepping out of the comfort zone enough. There are a few reasons you may experience haters. As your star rises, it's inevitable, there will almost certainly be critics and naysayers with something to say about the work that you're doing to manifest your dream life. In this episode, I'm sharing three tips for letting other people's shade turn into your shine.

A few years ago I spent a weekend at a shamanic studies workshop learning about animal guides, I came home shared the details with my BFF, and rather than thinking I was totally out there, she got curious! Today I'm joined by my very own best friend! Elsie Larson, of the lifestyle blog A Beautiful Mess, is with us today to talk about her own integration into the woo.  Elsie and I met when I lived in Nashville and in our friendship, while I'm the woo one, I've always known Elsie has some woo, woo witchy gifts. I've seen her manifest really incredible things over the course of our friendship - even when she didn't necessarily know she was doing it.  Over the last few months, as Elsie and I planned for this episode, we talked about the list of things that she might be interested in from astrology readings to aura photography readings to reiki, and more. We've been having discussions about past lives and karma, kundalini yoga and acupuncture, psychic gifts, and intuitive wisdom and honestly, it's been so much fun for me seeing my BFF get into the things I love so much!  This is the episode for you if you're new to the woo, or if you have a friend you'd like to share your woo practices with. Prior to recording this episode, Elsie booked appointments and now we're discussing how it's all gone for her thus far! If you want to hear more, give her show a listen too - I joined her over on A Beautiful Mess pod to chat specifically about Astrology, especially for those that might be a bit skeptical.  Elsie Larson is the founder of lifestyle blog A Beautiful Mess and apps A Color Story and Filmm. Elsie lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, two children, and two dogs.

In this episode, Sharon is joined by Elsie Larson, creator of A Beautiful Mess, to share the story of Senator Margaret Chase Smith, a Maine woman who refused to take no for an answer. Margaret Chase Smith was the first woman in U.S history to hold a seat in both houses of Congress. With nearly 40 years in office, Senator Smith's career is marked with incredible achievements, such as being responsible for the U.S moon landing and being the first woman to run for U.S president. Known for her political courage, honesty and integrity, she is a hero of democracy. Join Sharon and Elsie as they uncover the remarkable story of Margaret Chase Smith and why she gave Maine - as well as the rest of America - so many reasons to be proud.

Elsie Larson is one of the OG bloggers and social media mavens, whose blog A Beautiful Mess just turned a whopping 10 years old. If we converted blog years to human years, that’d be like 92.. But Elsie didn’t just stop at a blog. She’s joined forces with her sister, Emma, and together, they’ve published two books, two apps (including my personal favorite phone editing app, A Color Story) and most recently, a product line called OuiFresh. Elsie lives in Nashville, so she and Caroline hopped on a Skype call to record this episode, where they talk about Elsie's recent process adopting her daughter from China. Elsie and her husband chose to adopt a child with special needs, and Elsie discusses that experience and everything that was involved. Read Elsie's blog post on Albinism here.
