Meet Faye, the founder of Untoxicated, and a “grey area” drinking coach.  She was a heavy drinker for many years, but never really saw herself as an alcoholic, because on paper her life looked pretty successful. That was until 2017, when she wound up in hospital from her drinking. But she turned it all around, and part of her comeback story is that she has created a thriving community of people who are also giving up alcohol.  And you know what? She's also a late diagnosed ADHDer. So we got her on the show to pick her brain about the connection between ADHD and addiction, and what we can do about it.   Want to connect with Faye?

Stephanie Fisher, AKA From the Daisies, is a super talented, world-class wedding photographer with a passion for connection and an editorial eye. Today, we get into the mystifying world of advertising for photographers. I asked her questions like, “Where do you buy ads? How do you get them? Is there a way of making sure your money is having an impact?” Having bounced around from Illinois to Colorado, New York to California, she's had to build and rebuild a client base after every relocation and creating ads for herself has helped her find work wherever she goes. And although this was originally meant to be a conversation strictly about ads and marketing, I couldn't help but ask her about her photography, too! Obviously. Because scrolling through her feed, it's easy to lose track of time and get sucked into her stunning world of beautiful images and emotive stories. In this episode, we talk about how to create your first ad, what the pros and cons are of paid advertising, how to attract clients who trust you, and why she got summoned to the Judge Judy courtroom once upon a time. This conversation is informative, funny, relatable, and so so packed with value you'd be silly to miss it!Her website:https://www.fromthedaisies.com/Her Insta:https://www.instagram.com/fromthedaisies/

Aida Glowik is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer based in Salem, Germany, and today she's on the podcast to talk about organizational strategies that she's learned over the years that are essential for helping a photography business grow. As self-described “chaotic person” in rehabilitation, she's had to force structure into her life and she's seen her creativity skyrocket and her overwhelm disappear as a result of that. From tips on batch working, to workflows and strategies that support her through the slow season, she's here to show you that it's possible to get everything done and not burn out.Her website:https://wedding-photography-podcast.com/Digital Planner: https://wedding-photography-podcast.com/plannerHer podcast:https://wedding-photography-podcast.com/Her Insta:https://www.instagram.com/aidaglowik/Wedding Photography Retreat in Corsica, France: https://wedding-photography-podcast.com/book-a-wedding-photography-workshop-in-corsica-france

Cloie Parfitt is a psychotherapist, originally from Tennessee in the United States, now living in Norwich in the UK. A former nurse, she switched to psychotherapy when she realised that she found the hospital environment and long shifts too much of a sensory challenge.  She now works with many neurodivergent clients, and is currently undertaking a professional doctorate in counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh, where she works collaboratively with autistic women to explore their experience of psychological trauma and trauma therapy.  In our conversation we talk about  ➡ Her experiences of social isolation, sensory overload, burnout and depression ➡ Psychotherapy and autism ➡ Why some types of therapy don't always work for autistic women ➡ Barriers to effective treatment, and how mental health practitioners can better mitigate these challenges. Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.   EPISODE LINKS: Cloie's website: www.diversemindstherapy.org Her Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_neurodivergent_therapist/  Samantha Craft's list of traits: http://www.myspectrumsuite.com/samantha-crafts-autistic-traits-checklist/ VOTE FOR SQUAREPEG IN THE BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS If you haven't voted in the British Podcast Awards yet, there's still time!

On this episode of 'the Nostalgic Vagabond' podcast, I talk with Sixtina from sixmilesaway.com her website and blog.  Sixtina says that travelling and living in diverse countries has helped shape her into the person she is today. Evolving from a self-proclaimed rebellious teenager, intolerant and stubborn, who wanted things her own way to a more rounded, simple-living woman who speaks multiple languages, is more tolerant, more patient, open-minded, spontaneous and good-humoured. Is this the result of the expat life?  In conversation, Sixtina talks about her first living abroad experiences which happened in the USA on high-school exchange to improve English (6:55) of course but many other things too.  We go on to talk about the meaning of the term 'expat' (8:55) at least what it means to us. I ask Sixtina what she believes makes for a good expat or a not so good one (10:15). We discuss stereotypes, pre-judging people and how we have to be aware of how easy it can be to hold prejudices, boxing people into who we think they are, based on where they come from (15:40). On the road, we can always be surprised. That is one of the great things about travelling. Sixtina shares some of the occasions where her expectations have not been met, (23:20) both in good ways and not so good ways.  Being involved in the community (28:55) is important to Sixtina's expat existence. She has some information on how she assimilates when she is abroad and gives tips on volunteering opportunities that can be found all over the world and websites like "Work Away" that facilitate this exchange of culture and goodwill.  We talk about Homesickness. Can you become immune or is it something that will creep up on you from time to time (39:10) especially when far away from your family during special holidays? Sixtina has some tips on how to cope from her many years of experience living as an expat in the Netherlands, Mexico, Ireland etc where the customs are different from that of her native Germany.  No matter whether you are a beginner expat, or have been playing this game for a while we can always improve. Sixtina tells us how she intends to continue to improve and be the best traveller and expat she can be (48:55). It's good stuff. So are you ready?    Enjoy!   Don't forget to get out Sixtina on social media.

Isis Duncan is a poet and photographer from Cleveland, USA devoted to young women growing up with healthy attitudes and practices around self and body including menstruation/fertility, self-pleasure, relationships and more. ~ She writes, "I came to my passion of teaching young women about confidence, spirituality and acceptance through my art when I was in high school. I grew up with a lot of abuse, harassment, conflicting sexual feelings and self confidence issues but I always found a passion in helping people so they didn't feel how I felt. That led me to where I am now, showing women the beauty in their natural being no matter if it's in spoken word or tangible photos." ~ In this conversation she models and expresses knowing yourself and your worth and your boundaries, being able to fulfill yourself emotionally and sexually, and from there entering into relationships where you can be yourself and grow and create. Her Insta channel is @sexual_spiritual_natural_ with website on the way. ~Thank you Isis for speaking from such deep heart, reflections and work for healthy women and society. ~Comments on this show and suggestions for future episodes?

Julie Stewart has the superpower of making new friends and new connections with people - all people. In this podcast she shares skills that are good advice for any age, but especially for women over 50 that are entering new phases in life and want to explore new interests and find new friends to last into the second half of life. There are so many takeaways from this podcast and I encourage you to listen for your "nuggets", but Julie's biggest piece of advice for women over 50 who are determined to become more social is this:  Make yourself accountable to other people to force yourself to be more social because being social is the #1 factor for maintaining your cognitive skills as you get older. So make it a priority. Schedule meet ups. Encourage conversation.Julie is always looking for adventure race partners, accountability partners, just anyone that may want to hang out, chat, and do something fun. You can reach her on FACEBOOK at Julie Stewart (from Frankfort). Her websites are http://juliestewart.juiceplus.com and http://juliestewart.towergarden.com.

When words fail, images and colors can reach our hearts like nothing else. Images we can wrap around us can be just the comfort our aching hearts need. As fiber artist Liberty Worth says, “Textiles have an amazing ability to hold memory.” Part of her creative output is the work she does with families to create stunning memory quilts from the clothes of a lost loved one. While we reel from a pandemic, Liberty works to help us grieve our losses. We talk about the power of family, story, and using your talents for good.   Please check out Liberty's work here.

We talk about Silver Spoons, the film Tree of Life, the art of Silvia Gallini, and her Hearthside Salon episode.  As always, info and registration for our screenwriting workshop and coaching is at PageCraftWriting.    

Welcome, this week's guest Athina Crilley! Athina Crilley suffered with an eating disorder for 7 years from the ages of 13 to 20 and has been fully recovered for almost 5 years now. She's recently released a book all about her recovery and loves to speak about her story to spread her message of recovery and hope. She also has her own podcast where she talks about "Finding her Fit". https://anchor.fm/findingmyfit Her Insta: https://www.instagram.com/athinacrilley/?hl=en Her book: https://amzn.to/2FwshNu This week I talk with Athina about her story, talking about her journey through the eating disorder that she faced for many years. We explore what it was like when it started and during it, and how she was able to come to a place of recovery. We focus a lot on the many reasons why someone might develop an eating disorder and possible solutions that can be used to assist in recovery. We transition later on to talking about vision boards and I share the 6th vision board success that I had, yet again it's interesting how it relates to the conversation. In this season I'll be talking with my guests about their story and how they've been able to "rewrite their stars" in their own life. Then after they've shared their story we'll transition into talking about vision boards for a little bit and I'll ask what experience they've had with them and share one of the successes that I've had. Again, why I'm sharing my successes with you is to show that it is possible for you to do the same thing, to use a vision board yourself and that you can rewrite your stars in your own life. I also want to feature YOUR successes! So be sure to get in contact with me or use the Anchor service to send me a snippet of you sharing your Vision Board Success. Because we need to celebrate more successes. And I want to celebrate you! Also, if you want to be a guest on my podcast, then be sure to reach out to me so that we can see about making that a reality. Because there are so many stories of people rewriting their stars, and I want to share them! Thanks for listening! Benjamin Fincher You'll find more awesome things that I do by checking out my website: Starlightmentoring.com where you can sign up to work with me as your mentor. (until the end of the week I've got a Holiday Season Gift for free mentoring!) I've also got videos, links to my Facebook and YouTube pages where you can find some great posts and videos.

I’m sure it’ll surprise no one when I say I had a complicated relationship with my hair growing up. Desis are supposed to have this super glossy, shiny, long, full straight hair and I had - and have - a gigantic curly mane. And that’s just on my head.  I’ve got hair on my arms and legs, face, stomach. Once, in the third grade, my friend helped me shave my mustache - secretly, quietly, in her bathroom - and I had a lot of explaining to do when I got home. So if there’s a silver lining with mask wearing, it’s that I’m sitting in the threading chair a lot less these days. In this episode of Brown Mom, I talk to Hitha Palepu about hair. Hitha Palepu is a multi-hyphenate - an entrepreneur and investor, an author, a wife and mother. And while she says she spends more time than she should on Instagram, I'm glad she does. Her Insta content speaks deeply to me.

This week I have an epic and inspiring mega-rant for you, with Dani Galvin, eating disorder survivor, insta influencer and fat activist from @iamdaniadriana. Dani is unapologetically HAPPY and embracing life, and because she dares to do all of this in a larger body, she’s a troll magnet. Trolling on the internet sucks, but trolling fat people for simply existing takes things to a new low. Join us for an awesome and fierce conversation about why the world needs fat activists, the psychology of troll mentality, what it’s like to have an eating disorder when you’re fat, and much, much more!   Show Notes Dani has had a gutful of trolls on her Insta account, who on a daily basis harass and threaten her via DM and public posts on her Insta account. The aim of trolling isn’t debate or healthy criticism – it’s bullying, and they want to scare people off the internet. Dani’s convinced that the trolls have some deep seated psychological issues. Happy people just don’t feel compelled to bully strangers on the internet. Dani believes that forgiveness is a powerful tool – it helps her to let go of the impact. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t speak out against it! Places such as Reddit are dark holes where the hatred is real. Dani gets a lot of DM’s with links to Reddit, which is always bad. Or messages from people accusing her of promoting obesity. These people aren’t even reading her captions, they just look at her body at make judgements. It pisses them off that Dani exists and doesn’t feel ashamed of her body. She’s had trolls say things such as they ‘wouldn’t even rape her’. As if rape is a privilege? Trolling like this reveals the multiple levels of hatred and misogyny underpinning this kind of behaviour. This is not normal. Louise used to work with sex offenders in gaol, and agrees with Dani that threats of sexual or other violence is all about control – not sex. It’s using sex as a weapon to intimidate and exert power and control over women. Louise’s hat is off to all fat activists on SM! This message is so needed, but to think about how dangerous it is because of the constant trolling – it’s another level of trauma. It doesn’t bother Dani as much anymore. She’s had so many micro aggressions against her body in the real world, that online doesn’t matter. It worries Dani that the level of aggression towards people like Dani will scare other people in larger bodies away from fat activism or even just being ‘out and fat’. It’s a huge process to wake up from diet culture, to reject the idea that something is wrong with you or your body, and to stand against diet culture. It takes a long time, and everyone ends up in different places. Not everyone will end up being a fat activist! It’s ok for people in the body positivity process to be in different places. We’re all different and we need to respect that difference of experience. We need to think of the concept of psychological diversity as well as body diversity! To get over the trauma of diet culture, we all need to go through the stages of grief in order to let it go. This can take time, and it’s not easy. Regardless of how far you move away from diet culture, it’s not realistic to wake up every day loving your body! It’s not about loving your appearance. It’s about finding peace and acceptance. It’s about honouring and riding the tough stuff. And the reason you feel like this isn’t your fault – it was taught to you by diet culture. The default is diet culture, and it’s easy to be performative in that. It’s harder to stand up and cognitively and emotionally work through this shit. Dani has been in LOTS of therapy, and has done a lot of work to get where she is now. She didn’t wake up one day glowing with body love. Many of us are expected to be ‘performative’ in diet culture, by which Dani means we are expected to perform certain social rituals to meet social norms. Such as, taking part in body shaming when we’re with a group of women, or taking part in conversations which encourage food guilt. Diet culture performances, like feeling bad for eating the office birthday cake, is so in-built and multi generational. It’s literally never questioned in diet culture. Why can’t we just go to the party and enjoy the cake? There’s this strong idea that we need to diminish ourselves in front of others in order to be a ‘good person’. We’re doing it to fit in, to be accepted by others. Diet culture emphasises that what we eat equals who we are. And that certain types of food consumption patterns make us better or worse people. This is monstrous and serves to further oppress marginalised groups. When you’re a fat person in diet culture, how does the performative stuff show up? Being performative in diet culture as a fat person means always trying to lose weight – being a ‘good fatty’. There’s this strong idea that you can’t start living your life until you meet the goal of being thin. Dani had a list of things on her computer that she’d never do until she lost weight. These included going on a holiday, falling in love, wearing a swimsuit and getting a tattoo – things she’s done now, in her fat body! Dani had an extreme eating disorder for many years. She is scared by statistics that show that 1 in 4 people who diet will develop an eating disorder. There’s a push in certain research circles to say that dieting doesn’t lead to eating disorders in fat people. For Dani, dieting was a ‘gateway drug’ to an eating disorder. Not the only factor, but definitely a big one. Dani thinks the reason eating disorder professionals are making these claims is because now that eating disorders in higher weight people are being recognised, they don’t feel comfortable not prescribing weight loss! Weight stigma anyone? Dani’s eating disorder was really vicious, and she remembers being given the seriously screwed up mixed messages – ‘you’re taking it a bit far…but you’re doing really well.” Comments and perceptions like this meant that for Dani, during the last 2 years of having her eating disorder, all she thought about was wanting to die. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses, and a large proportion of these are suicides. How many people in larger bodies are dying because of weight stigma in eating disorder treatment? The DSM needs to stop using the BMI as a criterion for diagnosis. No other mental illness has a weight requirement. Imagine just how high the eating disorder rate in people in larger bodies is. Dani suffered terribly from her eating disorder, but because of her higher weight, she struggled for it to be recognised and properly treated. It was by chance that she stumbled across a therapist who finally saw her and what was going on. Without that, Dani might not be here. There’s a lot of evidence to show that the impact of weight stigma on health is just as impactful as BMI itself. Dani appeared on a tv show alongside some of the ex Biggest Loser contestants (who had put on all of the weight again) and a whole pile of people doing weight loss surgery. Dr Dixon was there, spruiking the fact that diets don’t work therefore give everyone surgery. Dani was the lone voice of body positivity! We’ve let weight and diets become our church and we’re now equating our appearance to something spiritually meaningful. Dieting is literally the new religion. It’s healthist and exclusionary. The ‘obesity epidemic’ rhetoric puts all fat people in the same category and labels them as diseased, AND pretends that body size is a choice. This rhetoric keeps us all imprisoned, as thin people are terrified of fat too. It's rare to come across a health professional that actually cares about your experience as a human on the planet, to see beyond your BMI. Dani’s wish is to continue to advocate for larger people via her Insta platform, and she won’t let the trolls stop her! Her hope is that if she has kids or grandkids and they’re fat, that their experience won’t be like hers was. Her Insta account is a safe haven for people in larger bodies.

This week I have an epic and inspiring mega-rant for you, with Dani Galvin, eating disorder survivor, insta influencer and fat activist from @iamdaniadriana. Dani is unapologetically HAPPY and embracing life, and because she dares to do all of this in a larger body, she’s a troll magnet. Trolling on the internet sucks, but trolling fat people for simply existing takes things to a new low. Join us for an awesome and fierce conversation about why the world needs fat activists, the psychology of troll mentality, what it’s like to have an eating disorder when you’re fat, and much, much more!   Show Notes Dani has had a gutful of trolls on her Insta account, who on a daily basis harass and threaten her via DM and public posts on her Insta account. The aim of trolling isn’t debate or healthy criticism – it’s bullying, and they want to scare people off the internet. Dani’s convinced that the trolls have some deep seated psychological issues. Happy people just don’t feel compelled to bully strangers on the internet. Dani believes that forgiveness is a powerful tool – it helps her to let go of the impact. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t speak out against it! Places such as Reddit are dark holes where the hatred is real. Dani gets a lot of DM’s with links to Reddit, which is always bad. Or messages from people accusing her of promoting obesity. These people aren’t even reading her captions, they just look at her body at make judgements. It pisses them off that Dani exists and doesn’t feel ashamed of her body. She’s had trolls say things such as they ‘wouldn’t even rape her’. As if rape is a privilege? Trolling like this reveals the multiple levels of hatred and misogyny underpinning this kind of behaviour. This is not normal. Louise used to work with sex offenders in gaol, and agrees with Dani that threats of sexual or other violence is all about control – not sex. It’s using sex as a weapon to intimidate and exert power and control over women. Louise’s hat is off to all fat activists on SM! This message is so needed, but to think about how dangerous it is because of the constant trolling – it’s another level of trauma. It doesn’t bother Dani as much anymore. She’s had so many micro aggressions against her body in the real world, that online doesn’t matter. It worries Dani that the level of aggression towards people like Dani will scare other people in larger bodies away from fat activism or even just being ‘out and fat’. It’s a huge process to wake up from diet culture, to reject the idea that something is wrong with you or your body, and to stand against diet culture. It takes a long time, and everyone ends up in different places. Not everyone will end up being a fat activist! It’s ok for people in the body positivity process to be in different places. We’re all different and we need to respect that difference of experience. We need to think of the concept of psychological diversity as well as body diversity! To get over the trauma of diet culture, we all need to go through the stages of grief in order to let it go. This can take time, and it’s not easy. Regardless of how far you move away from diet culture, it’s not realistic to wake up every day loving your body! It’s not about loving your appearance. It’s about finding peace and acceptance. It’s about honouring and riding the tough stuff. And the reason you feel like this isn’t your fault – it was taught to you by diet culture. The default is diet culture, and it’s easy to be performative in that. It’s harder to stand up and cognitively and emotionally work through this shit. Dani has been in LOTS of therapy, and has done a lot of work to get where she is now. She didn’t wake up one day glowing with body love. Many of us are expected to be ‘performative’ in diet culture, by which Dani means we are expected to perform certain social rituals to meet social norms. Such as, taking part in body shaming when we’re with a group of women, or taking part in conversations which encourage food guilt. Diet culture performances, like feeling bad for eating the office birthday cake, is so in-built and multi generational. It’s literally never questioned in diet culture. Why can’t we just go to the party and enjoy the cake? There’s this strong idea that we need to diminish ourselves in front of others in order to be a ‘good person’. We’re doing it to fit in, to be accepted by others. Diet culture emphasises that what we eat equals who we are. And that certain types of food consumption patterns make us better or worse people. This is monstrous and serves to further oppress marginalised groups. When you’re a fat person in diet culture, how does the performative stuff show up? Being performative in diet culture as a fat person means always trying to lose weight – being a ‘good fatty’. There’s this strong idea that you can’t start living your life until you meet the goal of being thin. Dani had a list of things on her computer that she’d never do until she lost weight. These included going on a holiday, falling in love, wearing a swimsuit and getting a tattoo – things she’s done now, in her fat body! Dani had an extreme eating disorder for many years. She is scared by statistics that show that 1 in 4 people who diet will develop an eating disorder.

How Instagram Can Transform Your Business Time is a huge factor when it comes to mums stepping into any courses or programs to better their business. If you're afraid of time as a bizmum, I have some advice for you: Time is going to pass by, whether you have a strategy or not. I know what it feels like to experience Instagram overwhelm, to feel like you always have to come up with good content but you don't know what content to post, the guilt that comes along with having your face buried in an app instead of spending time with your family, and to feel bummed by not getting likes, clicks, or generating an income from Instagram. This is why I've reverse engineered my strategies and methods to help you skip the learning period and start generating Instagram success. My course Hashtag Hustle will give you time back and help you make the most of your business.

She's graduated from Hashtag Hustle and has been implementing the strategies she learned along the way!
