Podcasts about finding our hunger

I'm so excited to kick off 2018 with a dynamic and fascinating conversation. Today's guest, Kaila Prins is a multi-passionate, creative entrepreneur whose list of skills range from burlesque performance and podcasting to copywriting and needle felting. We talked a lot about performance and all the things it helped her to reclaim and discovery after recovering from an eating disorder. We got into navigating life as a busy person with a lot of commitments, comedic relief, problematic comedy, and many many ways we can do less harm. This was a really fun one. Enjoy!

  Today on Date Yourself Radio I’ve got Body Positive Wellness Coach Kaila Prins. I recently met Kaila through a women’s podcasting networking group, and when I learned about her story, I knew I wanted her to share it with you all. Kaila describes herself as a happy kid growing up, but once she realized that boys were a thing you could kiss, have crushes on, and be crushed on, it sent her down a path of not understanding who really owned her body. What I really loved about Kaila’s story is that her journey from disordered eating goes beyond recovery. She wanted to live beyond the “strong not skinny” mentality of many women recovering from disordered eating. She went into a phase she calls discovery, which is about filling the void of obsessing over food + exercise with other things. Enter pole + burlesque dancing. Aka, dating yourself. In this episode, Kaila shares: How she didn’t know her body belonged to her How she started dating after recovering from orthorexia, anorexia, and exercise addiction How recovery wasn’t enough for Kaila to move beyond disordered eating About Kaila Kaila Prins is a body positive wellness coach, burlesque and pole dancer, and voiceover actor. After recovering from orthorexia, anorexia, and exercise addiction, she has set out to understand and overturn the reasons why we're all so darn uncomfortable in our own bodies. Using her podcast, Finding Our Hunger, as the medium and burlesque, pole dance, and drag as a message, Kaila Prins speaks radical truths about body positivity, health at every size, feminism, sexuality, and recovery...usually while covered in glitter.
