Diet culture is a symptom of an oppressive system that underpins so many of the ways we show up in the world. It prevents us from being present, enjoying the people we love and the things we enjoy, and stops us from caring for ourselves. Although we do not consent to diet culture, we have to deal with the fallout of generations of both men and women playing into the ‘rewards’ of diet culture, while ignoring all of the risks. Key Takeaways If You Are Ready To Reclaim What Diet Culture Has Stolen From You, You Should: Filter your feed and the messages you receive to stop perpetuating the cycle of diet culture Stop living your life based on what you think is okay or not okay with your body Acknowledge the ways diet culture has stolen your life experiences and step away from that oppressive system Find a support system that will encourage you to reclaim what diet culture has taken from you What Diet Culture Steals From Us Diet culture keeps us small in every sense of the word. It keeps us striving for an unattainable and constantly changing body ideal, it keeps us distracted and dulled from using our power, and it keeps us from enjoying life experiences and the people we love.  We were not put on this Earth to achieve a perfect body and then die. Often we don’t even realize what diet culture is stealing from us because we are so immersed in it. I guarantee that when you look back at your life, the people you love will not remember if you have cellulite, they will remember how you made them feel and the memories that you were able to enjoy together. The Real Risks of Diet Culture Diet culture doesn’t just make us play small or hold back on our dreams and chase impossible body ideals; it can actually take our lives from us in every sense of the world. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness out there, but the corporations and companies that fed us this swill only focus on diet culture benefits, not the downsides. Unpacking and unlearning diet culture takes time and requires self-compassion and connection. While it is not going to happen overnight, just understanding the risks that are very real if we continue to let diet culture perpetuate our lives is a great first step. Are you ready to stop letting diet culture steal your zest for life? Share which of my suggestions you are going to implement to step away from diet culture and reclaim the things that diet culture has stolen from you in the comments section of the episode page.   In This Episode Breaking down what diet culture is and what it has taken from us (5:40) A shortlist of the ways that diet culture has stolen from us as a collective whole (14:00) Understanding why diet culture promotes an ideal that is not attainable for many of us instead of health-promoting behaviors (23:40) Why you shouldn’t mistake body bashing for bonding (30:45) Statistics explaining the toll diet culture is taking on us around disordered eating and eating disorders (33:10)   Quotes “I think we need to name how we are harmed by diet culture in these ways, how diet culture has failed us.” (13:59) “Diet culture makes us play small and it makes us hold back on our dreams.” (17:39) “Diet culture steals our life from us, it makes us pull back from having the experiences and participating in all of the things that we love, the people we want to be with. And those are really the experiences that stick and that matter.” (21:34) “When you decide to start unpacking diet culture and start moving away from these practices in your own life, you need support. Do not do this on your own because you will quickly become overwhelmed and subsumed by this larger dominant system.” (32:17) “The toll that diet culture is taking on us is heavy, and the corporations and companies and diet industry, they are not forthcoming about the risks, they are not forthcoming about the downsides.” (34:06)   Featured on the Show Join the Tune In Membership Here Mindful Eating Tool National Eating Disorders Association Join the Listen To Your Body Newsletter Steph Gaudreau Website Check out the full show notes here!

Building an authentic community to remind yourself that you are not alone and that you always have the opportunity to start again, can help you face your fears of the unknown and start to embody the choices you make for yourself because you want to make them. The Power Of Showing Up As You Are Grace believes that collectively, women are getting better at supporting itching through trauma or struggle. Instead of getting wrapped up in what you look like, Grace advocates that it is okay to not have it all together.

And its sort of lifted this idea that we have to show up and look a certain way and have it all together, its really given permission.” (9:26) “The beauty myth is really designed to keep us [women] separate, because if we are working together, if we are solid and in a community within one another, then we can accomplish so much.” (14:32) “That’s what really started to tune me into the competitiveness between women, that it’s not even to get the guy or the girl or whoever, its actually some kind of rank.” (21:53) “I think that I was never the pretty girl, so I did have to develop, I was always entertaining and wanted to be funny even out of the womb, but I kind of always had to work a little bit harder to be seen and heard because I wasn’t pretty.” (25:17) “It’s about taking care of our bodies, but its also about us realizing the reasons we weren’t.” (34:58)   Links Join the Listen To Your Body Newsletter Grace Edison Website Follow Grace on Facebook Check out the full show notes here!

In today’s podcast, Grace Edison and I go in depth on why we should encourage each other to express our own strengths and expertise, instead of hiding them in the dark to be socially interpreted as “humble”. We share the potential benefits that can come from a conversation that is approached with this form of confidence and integrity. If you're in need of a fresh and light perspective of yourself, tune in to reveal the potential breakthroughs that are awaiting you at Yogahealer Live Events!   What you’ll get out of tuning in: A deeper perspective on why we tend to repress our ability to be outwardly proud and confident about our strengths. How Yogahealer Live Events helps people dive into their specific personality traits and own their nature without judgement. How we can dramatically improve our lives by embracing our expertise that each of us, uniquely excel in.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Be a coach Have a conversation Discover more about Body Thrive  Yogahealer VIP Live Events Yogahealer Live Experience Show Highlights: In the Live Events we start to look at why we shy away from glorifying our special powers and characteristics, and how we can stand in their presence and confidently share them with others. The Yogahealer community is able to work together to identify each other’s strengths and shadows when a person has a more difficult time seeing their own. We look to identify what structures our conversations are happening in so that we can learn how to create liberating structures.   Timestamps: 2:35- Yogahealer Live Events works to shift our perceptions of ourselves to rapidly catalyze our lives in an evolutionary direction. 6:00- It is important for us to acknowledge where we are at in life, without deeming it ‘good’ or ‘bad, and comparing it to where other people are at in life. 11:00- Explains how we are programmed to be firm in or negative beliefs and to keep our assets in the darkness in order to be “humble” 21:45- In conversations we seek to sift and sort through the structures in our lives that are outdated so that we can create liberating ones to improve all aspects of our lives.   Favorite Quotes: “Yogahealer Live Events are where the breakthroughs happen fast.” - Cate Stillman “... Thank you for telling me. Brag more to me so that I know what I can go to you for, what your expertise is, and so that I know the level of the game your playing.” - Cate Stillman “If 45 people come to an event, 45 people have breakthroughs.” - Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: Grace Edison lives in British Columbia, Canada. She’s a mom of twin 8 year olds, a Yoga teacher, studio owner, and Yoga Health Coach — and she also works for Cate Stillman in Admissions at Yogahealer! More than anything, she loves to make people laugh and has a not-so-secret dream of doing stand-up comedy. Grace has a strong passion for empowering others to take their health and wellness into their own hands. She loves building authentic relationships, making people laugh, and creating supportive communities. After a long-standing relationship with severe depression, Grace has found deep relief through the habits of Ayurveda — and much credit is due to Cate and her Body Thrive program. After taking Body Thrive several times and jumping into Yoga Health Coaching, Grace came aboard the Yogahealer team.  

Wellness pros have a bad habit. They often downplay the kind of impact they can have and end up justifying a lower income. In her conversations with wellness pros, Grace Edison has noticed a “stickiness” around income. All too often, she hears, “It's not about that.” They're gifted at what they're doing, but without the proper business model, packaging, and pricing, they're not able to have the impact they want to have or the income they deserve. In this episode, Cate and Grace dissect the relationship between earning and having an impact.   What you'll get out of tuning in: How the right business model, packaging and pricing can help you have the impact you want and the income you deserve. How to reframe your mentality around “sales” and realize that it comes down to helping people make better decisions about how to invest their money. How working with groups of people, as opposed to one-on-one, can amplify your impact.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Be a coach Have a conversation Discover more about Body Thrive  Yogahealer Live Experience   Show Highlights: The wellness industry is growing. More and more people every year invest in wellness. As wellness pros, we can help people make better decisions about how to invest their money in this diverse market. Cate talks about how working with key “VIP” clients helped her fund projects with a bigger reach and a bigger impact. Cate and Grace discuss the power of working with groups of people. Once you know how many people you can support in a group, you can design an offer that aligns with your income goals.   Favorite Quotes: “There are more and more people investing in wellness of all socioeconomic categories. We are in a huge, growing industry.” --- Cate Stillman “There are so many people who are so gifted at what they're doing, but they don't have the proper business model.” --- Grace Edison “Most people don't realize where they're not investing well in themselves and where they're making decisions that are costing them a lot more money.” --- Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: Grace Edison lives in British Columbia, Canada.

As a wellness pro, how do you get people to commit to real transformation? If you want to effect real change, you need to cultivate a dynamic group full of people who have skin in the game. They have to be financially invested. Stop trading your hours for dollars. Give your people an opportunity to really grow and evolve with a more effective business model. Yoga Health Coaching is holistic business training for wellness pros.   What you'll get out of tuning in: Why the one-on-one and one-off models don't work. Why guided transformation is replacing packaged peak experiences. Why Yoga Health Coaching isn't just for yoga teachers.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Be a coach Have a conversation Discover more about Body Thrive  Body Thrive Book   Show Highlights: 9:15 - Why guided transformation is replacing packaged peak experiences. 15:37 - Building dynamics groups takes a unique set of skills that requires time and mentorship to master. 24:18 - Yoga Health Coaching isn't just for yoga teachers. The business model can be applied to anyone in the wellness industry.   Favorite Quotes: “For a group to be dynamic, people have to have skin in the game.” --- Cate Stillman “A dynamic group isn't dynamic unless all members are involved.” --- Cate Stillman “When they don't have skin in the game, and they're not invested, they don't have to show up. When they don't show up, they don't get the goods that you have. And so basically then, you don't get to provide the full service to them because they don't show up to receive it.” --- Grace Edison   Guest BIO: Grace Edison lives in British Columbia, Canada.

Yoga of Money with Grace Edison On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity, you'll learn about: What is the link between health and wealth? Pitfalls of sacrificing wellbeing for money Grace's top financial skills and habits Practicing self-compassion and investing in health Holistic financial wellness   Grace strives for balance in her work life and family so that there is room for being a kick-ass mom and community leader in the classes and courses she teaches in person and online. Her main focus currently is creating a solid space for her course members and clients to establish a better personal and working relationship with Money, from a Holistic-Wellness based approach.

The YogiDetox experience is one that involves complex emotions and challenges. While its rewards can be astounding, it is definitely not an easy journey. Grace Edison explains that before her detoxing experiences, she was not in touch with her emotions and their influence over her actions. Subconsciously experiencing an emotional trigger would lead to her eating comfort food without understanding why. A detox from things we are addicted to can aid us in realizing why we actually seek these comforts in the first place. Grace and Carly discuss that YogiDetox is not a one size fits all journey. When it comes to Grace’s experiences, she has tried to do it differently each time. Although we often want to go all in, these kind of challenging experiences are better handled when we customize the experience based on our needs. It is important to realize to ask for help and to accept that self-care can also include stress. A detox experience is a challenge, and just like in yin yoga, we can reach a higher level of vitality and thrive if we put ourselves through a controlled amount of stress. The YogiDetox allows for an outstanding opportunity for us to reset and prepare for the future to come. For everyone out there, no matter the circumstance, there is always a wonderful reason to detox.   What you’ll get out of tuning in: Why stress is good for detoxing How to be flexible during cleanses How to handle emotions on a detox   Common Links: YogiDetox Webpage  Your Seasonal Detox Style  Ayurvedic Spring Detox And The Doshas With Alex Biondo  Show Highlights: 3:05 - By cleansing, we make new space in our bodies. Often, if we splurge after the detox process we find we have become hyper-sensitive to what our bodies do not handle or process well. 9:30 - Detoxing can help us reach a level of clarity about our feelings that we may normally have trouble finding. This clarity can help us identify things like why we are eating and what we are actually looking for? 22:45 - Sometimes what we need to reach a higher level of thrive is to experience a controlled level of stress. Yin yoga encourages stressing our bodies in order to cleanse them, just as YogiDetox encourages some strict habits that can make us uncomfortable and cause initial stress. Your Favorite Quotes: “We take on this perspective of curiosity.” - Grace Edison“If you want to find out why you’re doing something, stop doing it.” - Grace Edison “Doing these detoxes allows for a reset and reflect and an opportunity to sit and celebrate what's happened in the past and calibrate for what’s going to happen in the future.” - Cary Banks   Host BIO: The Body Thrive path led Carly to a new and exciting world where all can be accomplished with ease. Adding YHC certification training to work and parenting is proving to be easy, with the right tools.

Launching a heart-centered, community-oriented business is a cause that requires inner transformation. My guest, Kelsey Bryant Starr, owner of Numi Yoga in College Park, Maryland, seems to be a growth junkie, too. She’s on for asking the hard questions, like “am I enough?” and answering them with “‘yes I am , I showed up, I’m breathing, and I have something to offer.” In this interview Kelsey and I interview each other about our journeys to starting businesses that reflect our personal desires for growth and learning.  Listen as we share our reflections on our pathways to learning, loving and accepting ourselves while growing businesses that help others do the same.     How to notice abundance amidst the challenge Why we need each other for true healing How being open allows for what’s to come     Links Mentioned: Interview with Brett Holmquist (Season 1, Episode 8) https://www.groundedhere.com/season-1 Ravenwood Outdoor Learning Center www.ravenwoodoutdoorlearningcenter.org Grace Edison’s Yoga of Money http://www.graceedison.com/yoga-of-money/ Numi Yoga College Park, Maryland http://www.numiyoga.com/schedule/ Fearless Self-Love Retreat: www.fearlessselflove.com Body Bloom wellness course www.groundedhere.com/courses Kylin O’Brien interview (Season 1, Episode 19) https://www.groundedhere.com/season-1 Tim Ferriss Show https://tim.blog/ A2 Yoga in Ann Arbor, Michigan www.a2yoga.net Eat, Taste, Heal http://www.eattasteheal.com/ Kripalu School of Ayurveda https://kripalu.org/schools/kripalu-school-ayurveda Dr. Claudia Welch https://drclaudiawelch.com/ Cate Stillman https://yogahealer.com/ Scott Blossom http://www.shunyatayoga.com/ AmeriCorps VISTA https://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/americorps/americorpsvista Pilar’s Tamales https://www.pilarstamales.com/ Show Highlights: 03:58 Easeful Living Practice ~ Take advice from your younger self 12:03 Interview begins with Kelsey sharing how she went from studying Yoga for her own learning to opening a Yoga studio in a new city 21:33 Holding challenge and abundance in the same hand (particularly when starting a studio) 26:55 Addressing fears and allowing them to be present; how personal yoga practice informs teaching and starting a business 33;20 Vision of Numi Yoga Studio in College Park, Maryland & the origin of the Numi name 39:53 Kelsey interviews Andrea, starting with Andrea’s interest in and study of Ayurveda 48:52 Andrea’s lessons learned starting her own business 101:19 Courageous Self-Care tip ~ mantra: I showed up, I’m breathing, and I have something to offer.   Your Favorite Quotes: “There is nothing less selfless than loving yourself.” -- Andrea Catherine “We all get both be served and be of service.” -- Kelsey Starr “Everyday something is a little bit beyond what I know about...but, everyday there’s someone who comes across my path...who is such a valuable resource.” -- Kelsey Bryant Starr “Everyday, when I get on my mat, I get to answer the question, ‘am I enough?’...I get to choose to say ‘yes I am , I showed up, I’m breathing, and I have something to offer” -- Kelsey Starr “Even when we’re experiencing so many blessings, and gifts and connections, it’s very human to wonder, am I even going to get by, can I even make it through?” -- Andrea Catherine “There’s no other journey but to get to know our own self. When we can come to our own selves with loving compassion, we can offer that unconditionally to other people.” -- Kelsey Starr “Those little nudges, for me, mostly come from when I’m able to let go of needing to have it a certain way or needing to let the thing I’m doing work, and rather open up to what could work, and knowing that may not be what I’m doing.”  --Andrea Catherine   Meet Kelsey: Kelsey is proud to join the ranks of the mighty Terrapins in College Park, MD.  Her yoga training began with Ana Hough in Ann Arbor (200hr), and continued with national teachers Christina Sell and Gioconda Parker at the San Marcos School of Yoga (300hr).  Kelsey participates in ongoing online studies with Christina Sell and attends DC-area continuing education.

Kelsey lives in University Park with her husband, Evan, and goldendoodle, Argo.  

Do you try to change your habits again and again, only to fall back into old patterns? In Episode 43, Brodie talks with Grace Edison, Studio Owner, Yoga Teacher, Yoga Health Coach, and Brodie's friend, about what it takes to make big changes in our health habits. Grace lived with bipolar depression and addiction for years, even though she knew everything she needed to do to start feeling better. It wasn't until she joined a course about habit change and experienced evolution alongside peers that new habits began to stick.   In this episode, we explore:   Why we have trouble seeing our own hang-ups What's different about a shared evolution experience? What are the benefits of changing one's habits alongside peers? Why does our culture seem to think it's ok, and even normal, for people, and especially women, to self-medicate?     Resources: Grace's Website Grace's new Yoga of Money Course Brodie's new group program, Eleven Weeks to Level Up Your Life
