It's the most dramatic episode yet, as Amber & Lacey welcome the very much loved Kay Cannon. Kay is an expert on Vanderpump Rules' #Scandoval and is kind enough to give Amber & Lacey a crash course before the start of the "Celebrity Expert Quiz". It's hotter than the bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos Lacey has in her recording space and also the lime version which happens to be Amber's pick for "Can You Stand It". Lacey has a new skill that she wants everyone to know about (Amber doesn't like it) and Kay wants to turn listeners on to a special kind of workout (intenSati by Patricia Moreno). The "Biggest Fan in This Room" game goes off the rails when they try to fill in the blanks of Kay Cannon's personal stories. So that everyone wins, we will share Kay's answers as a bonus in the show notes below! Enjoy! ----- Hey Biggest Fans of Kay Cannon! Here are some of her personal short stories that she shared with our producers. We all wanted you to have them too: 1. Having summers off from school… Working at the Polk-a-dot Drive Thru for $2.85/hr. After one shift and taxes taken out, I made a whole $16! But I got to eat all the french fries and mozzarella sticks I wanted! 2. A time your stomach was in a knot Easier to answer when it ISN'T in a knot. Every time I take on a new job, my stomach gets crazy. Always feel like I'm going to barf. If I don't feel like I'm going to barf, I shouldn't take the job. It's gotta pass that barf test! 3. A souvenir that you cherish? Jimmy Choo gifted me Cinderella's glass slippers after "Cinderella" (wrote and directed) came out. I also have a yellow audition cup from "Pitch Perfect." 4. Playing a sport as an adult… Love it! I learned to play tennis and ran a marathon (without training). I know pickleball is considered an old person game but I don't care. I love the shit out of that pickleball. I'd play basketball again if I wasn't so afraid of getting hurt. 5. Coaching sports… Double love it! I was a graduate coach at Lewis University for Track & Field and coached my daughter's soccer team. I was also a coach of an improv team. Does that count? I find it extremely satisfying to teach and watch other people win or get better at something they care about. 6. You just cleared security check at an airport … And I'm exhausted. My double masks having gotten entangled with my glasses and are now useless. I have to go back because I forgot my fucking scarf in a container after pulling my back out trying to quickly remove my overpacked carry on. My shoes are off and I'm walking barefoot. I'm TSA pre-check but for whatever reason it didn't say that on my ticket. Oh, and my other bag? It's in a line of bags needing to be checked because there's a tiny water in there that I forgot was in there. 7. A moment in the writer's room… "30 Rock" room: We would play this game called "Lookey-stare-y" where someone would look through the hole of a paper towel roll. They would pan across all the writers, who would intentionally have sad faces and then land on my face -- which was smiling from ear-to-ear. Guaranteed laughter. 8. Growing up with many siblings… I was raised in a pack. I never developed a good sense of direction because I would just follow the pack. West is always left. I have always described my childhood as "wonderful chaos." It was very loud, very competitive, and for the most part, crazy fun. I was the runt of the group so I had to learn how to be scrappy. 9. A moment in NYC … SO MANY. 1. After an SNL afterparty, a group of us were walking to the after-after party and I turned to see what I thought was a guy holding a bong. He was actually holding his peen/balls and jerking it. He said, "What's up?" with a big smile on his face as I walked past him. 2. I once lived above Eliott Spitzer's prostitute. Ashley Dupre. I knew her as Ashley Yomen. We went on a double date. She cooked a lasagna in my oven. I borrowed a club shirt to wear to an SNL taping. 3. My husband, Eben, asked me to marry him on the pier off the west side highway. 4. Saw Spring Awakening five times, including opening night where I watched Lea Michele cry her eyes out during bows. The curtain went down and all the other actors left the stage and she stood there crying into her hands. 5. Tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center: Jack Burditt and I showed Rockefeller security a 30 Rock script we each had written to prove that we worked for the show and they let us go all the way -- as close as you could get -- to watching the tree get lit up. I could go on and on about all the craziness and fun and weirdness (I also got divorced while I lived there) while living in NYC. 10. Important lesson from improv class… NEVER EVER judge someone from the back line while watching a scene. I saw that happen all too often. How dare you judge. You should be thinking about how you can "yes and..." and make better of a tricky situation. If you are judging, you are a dick. Important lesson is to never be a dick. 11. Life moment you're so proud of… Cliche but... any moment I share or observe of my daughter, Leni. She da best. 12. Coaching sports… Double love it! I was a graduate coach at Lewis University for Track & Field and coached my daughter's soccer team. I was also a coach of an improv team. Does that count? I find it extremely satisfying to teach and watch other people win or get better at something they care about. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Caleb Campbell is a dynamic keynote speaker, coach, and mental health advocate known for his authentic and transformational message on high-capacity leadership, whole-person success, and emotional well-being. In this episode, Caleb shares more about his story, childhood, and how he always had that itch to seek more in life. We all tend to live adulthood as a reflection of our childhood, and Caleb's story is no different. Ever since he was a young boy, he looked for his mom's approval, and that eventually made him feel pressure to be the best in all areas of life. Growing up, he also felt the need to establish some boundaries for all his relationships - something we all can relate to. Caleb talks about difficult moments when he used to feel self-hatred, disempowerment, and the need to sustain a happy external image when, in reality, he was falling apart inside. After identifying all these signs and red flags, Caleb sought therapeutic help, which changed his life and gave him new perspectives. With this guidance, he could choose himself over others and find inner rest. Episode Quotes "Moving our life forward is not by doing more, is not by hustling more, is not by holding on tighter; it's actually learning to let go.” “There is no healing without feeling safe. It's hard to heal when you are living in an environment where you're barely getting by.” “I was hating myself because I knew the way I was doing life was working against me.” Key Highlights Caleb always had the intuitive knowledge that there is more in life. Caleb started therapy to heal childhood wounds. The importance of boundaries and not carrying our parents' burdens. Listen to your own intuition and listen to your own body. Caleb shares how he was able to recognize he needed therapy help. Choosing yourself instead of choosing others. Caleb details his connection with God and spirituality. Caleb's final message: take the time to grieve whatever you need to. If something we engage with is not empowering us, it's not worth it.

Are you struggling to break free from your addiction to food? Do you turn to food as a coping mechanism during tough times? In this episode of What You're Craving, Molly chats with Felicia, a current member of the Breaking Up with Sugar community and the All In Intensive coaching group. Felicia is a fighter and survivor of trauma who shares her inspiring story of transformation and regaining control of her life. For years, Felicia battled with her weight and tried various diets, including intermittent fasting, Weight Watchers, and low-carb approaches, but nothing seemed to work. She realized that food had become her go-to coping skill when the world felt out of control. Even when she tried to fix things with a relationship, her food issues worsened. Feeling suicidal, desperate, and with children to care for, Felicia knew she had to make a change. She borrowed money from a friend and joined the All In program, where she learned to set self-determined goals and embrace a beginner's mindset, despite her initial resistance. Through the guidance and support of the All In community and her coach, Molly, Felicia was able to redefine herself and begin to let go of the shame and guilt she felt about her addiction. Although Felicia acknowledges that her journey has not been without its challenges, she is now 66 days without sugar or flour and has seen a significant improvement in her blood sugar levels. Felicia plans to continue her growth journey by taking another round of the All In coaching program. Key Highlights The role of grief and shame in Felicia's journey Felicia's story of joining Breaking Up With Sugar & All In Tools Felicia used to stop self-harm Addressing cognitive distortions and qualifying the positives Felicia talks about her goals for forgiveness and redefining herself Felicia talks about Feelings vs. Facts Episode Quotes: “Recovery is not linear, but my brain wants it to be linear so when it's not linear, it turns lemonade back into lemons.” “I have tools. Having tools isn't my problem. The problem is when I get dysregulated, I forget the tool box even exists… Why am I okay today? It's because I used all of my tools and I had a huge support network that All In allowed me to build. I just needed somebody I trusted to tell me it was going to be okay.” Connect with Molly: LOTS of EXCITING stuff going on over at mollycarmel.com - enrollment for ALL IN INtensive Coaching is OPEN!

In this episode of What You're Craving, Krista shares her journey to healing and how she now travels to teach others about the power of essential oils.

It took Krista four years to receive a diagnosis for her autoimmune illness, during which time she had to balance raising her teenage children while dealing with her symptoms.

Through doTERRA supplementation, she was able to heal more rapidly and went on to continue her work of sharing the tools and natural solutions that have helped her with others.

When we feel like a victim of our circumstances, we often forget that we have choices. In this episode, Molly encourages you to bring yourself back to the present moment by reminding yourself that even if you feel stuck, you always have choices. Some situations can feel so painful that it seems impossible to actually have a choice in the matter, but you always do. Bad things may happen to you, but there are infinite ways that you can respond to them. Your choices are to solve the problem, change your feelings about the problem, tolerate it, stay miserable, or make the problem worse. This isn't all to say that it will be an easy road, but there is tremendous power in knowing that you don't have to just lie down and let the pain take over. This is your season of taking your power back. If a problem arises that you truly don't have control over, you still have the power to change how you feel about it. For so many of us, we have been bombarded with failure experiences, shame responses, and rejections. If you have been in these cycles, your first response is most likely to play dead, but a much more powerful option is to work to feel better about the problem. In this episode of What You're Craving, Molly wants you to know that there is so much more in your control than you think. You never have to feel like a victim in your circumstance. It is time to take your power back because if any problem coming up causes you to fall over and be a victim, there is so much of your power that is just roaming out there. Molly wants you to get it back. Episode Quote: “When you accept what is, you open yourself up to a lot of different options.” - Molly Carmel “A lot of times when you're in pain, a lot of the pain is in the non-acceptance.” - Molly Carmel Key Highlights The 5 choices we have in any circumstance What to do when you forget that you have choices The most underrated way to solve a problem Changing your perspective about a problem Learning to accept a problem What if you can't accept something because it is too painful? What happens when you continue to stay a victim?

At the age of 30, Christine was diagnosed with gluten intolerance, which forced her to learn how to eat all over again. She tried various diets but found that counting things like calories or carbs only led to obsession. This is a common issue with restrictive diets that focus on counting calories, macros, or other factors. These diets may work for weight loss in the short term, but they often lead to rebound weight gain and a negative relationship with food. Christine eventually discovered Molly's book and decided to follow the plan Molly outlines in it. After quitting sugar for only two weeks, Christine noticed improvements in her skin, weight, and sleep. The benefits only multiplied as time went on, and Christine even reports having much less stress and a better relationship with herself and her family. Christine has been imperfectly sugar-free for three years now. Christine discusses the self-care routines, support system, and motivation behind her personal transformation. This conversation serves as a valuable reminder that there is no universal formula for well-being and that treating ourselves with kindness and empathy yields the most positive outcomes. Episode Quotes: “I always have to go back to my why. There is a reason why I am doing this.” “You just have to put one foot in front of the other, wait, be kind to yourself. Be patient because it's not a quick fix. It's a process, and it's a practice, so you don't have to be perfect at it you just have to keep going.” Connect with Molly: LOTS of EXCITING stuff going on over at mollycarmel.com - including (drumroll pleaseeeee) our EMBRACE RENEWAL retreat on April 23, from 12-5 EST - sign up on the website - and you'll receive a deep discount on the ALL IN Coaching program along with an amazing experience OWN YOUR WORTH EXPERIENCE - March 30-April 1 - there are still spots available - JOIN ME: ownyourworthexperience.com - use code MOLLY10 for 10% off!

In this episode of What You're Craving, Molly chats with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified OB/GYN and Certified Culinary Medicine specialist. As the creator of the nutrition program, The Galveston Diet, and author of the book by the same name, Dr. Haver has made it her mission to help women navigate the challenges of aging with a comprehensive approach to nutrition and wellness. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Dr. Haver is also a wife, mother, and successful entrepreneur. Dr. Haver's journey began when she noticed her patients complaining about weight gain during menopause, despite following traditional weight loss advice of eating less and exercising more. As a physician, she quickly realized there were gaps in her training, specifically with regard to nutrition. Motivated by her own and her patients' struggles with weight gain during menopause, Dr. Haver delved into the world of nutrition, conducting her own research and pursuing certification in culinary medicine at Tulane University to better serve their needs. Molly and Dr. Haver discuss the importance of tailoring nutrition plans to the individual, focusing on non-scale measures such as muscle mass and subcutaneous fat. Dr. Haver also provides insights on how to manage chronic inflammation, how to incorporate micronutrients and supplements into one's diet, and other issues specific to women experiencing menopause. Dr. Haver's unique approach to nutrition and wellness is rooted in a focus on serving others and helping her patients age optimally. Whether you're looking for advice on managing menopause or seeking a more holistic approach to nutrition and wellness, you won't want to miss this fascinating conversation with Dr. Mary Claire Haver.

In the episode of What You're Craving, Molly interviews Lucy Osborne, owner and CEO of intenSati, a method of movement, mantra, and meditation that aims to cultivate joy and self-awareness. Lucy describes intenSati as an ecstatically blissful practice that allows individuals to set intentions for their lives without judgment. Lucy shares her personal transformation through intenSati, which began when she believed that weight loss was the key to achieving her goals. However, after attending her first intenSati class, she realized that what she was craving was joy. IntenSati helped Lucy to understand that joy is not a result of external factors, but rather a state of being that can be cultivated through intentional practice. Lucy goes on to explain that intenSati is not just about positivity, but rather about an awareness of what is present and a choice for what will come next. By becoming more self-aware through intenSati, Lucy was able to change her behavior to be in alignment with the person she wanted to be, without force or coercion. Today, Lucy is the owner and CEO of intenSati and leads her own classes, helping others to cultivate joy and self-awareness in their own lives. Lucy also discusses her experience with grief after the founder of intenSati and her former business partner, Patricia, passed away. She explains that this experience taught her the importance of prioritizing what is most important in life. Her experience with grief also highlights the importance of prioritizing what truly matters in life and knowing that life goes on, even in the face of loss. Lucy's journey through intenSati is an inspiring reminder of the power of intentional practices to create lasting change in our lives. If you're looking to cultivate more joy and self-awareness, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to discover the transformative potential of intenSati and the valuable lessons Lucy shares from her personal experiences. Quotes: “I think we think we're craving the things that win awards like determination and grit, but I think what we're really craving underneath that is joy.” “We can do this work and still not be happy all the time. We can go through this work and still have negative thoughts. Not only is that good, that's life. That's natural.

In this episode of What You're Craving, Molly and Amy Shah, MD, a double-board-certified medical doctor and nutrition expert, have a conversation about how to foster a better relationship with our bodies and with food. Many of us turn to processed food for quick comfort and a hit of dopamine, but Amy reveals why this isn't truly satisfying and offers healthier alternatives to create a balanced lifestyle. Amy discusses the effects of processed foods on our dopamine receptors and how it affects our cravings. She will also share her perspective on intuitive eating and why practicing intuitive eating is much harder in today's world. Additionally, Amy delves into the growing knowledge we are gaining through studies about how food and the gut can affect our brains, and how to improve the gut-brain connection. Amy also shares her observations of eating habits in India and how they differ from those in the United States. She delves into the science behind the food-mood connection and talks about natural ways to give our bodies what they need. Amy encourages us to take charge of our health by becoming more mindful of the foods we put into our bodies and how it affects our overall well-being. With her guidance, we can make simple changes to our diet and lifestyle to enjoy greater energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood. Quotes: “I wish people realized how irritable and angry eating a processed food diet makes you.” - Dr. Amy Shah “Our gut bacteria will work for us if we give it food that it loves, and we are starving them and we are stressing them out, and we are keeping them awake.” - Dr. Amy Shah Connect with Dr. Amy Shah: Instagram: @fastingmd Website: www.amymdwellness.com Come join me at the AMAZING Own Your Worth Experience March 31-April 1st. http://ownyourworthexpereince.com use code: MOLLY10 for 10 percent off!

On this episode of What You're Craving, Molly is joined by addiction specialist Clarissa Kennedy and her Food Junkies podcast co-host Molly Painschab. Clarissa shares her personal experience with food and alcohol addiction, discussing how changing her eating habits helped her overcome her alcohol addiction. Molly Painschab also shares her experience working in the field and her own journey of addressing her food addiction.

The episode also explores the role of mindfulness and sleep in managing food addiction, emphasizing the importance of seeking support in the recovery process. Furthermore, they will discuss how most food addiction recovery requires a foundation free of diet culture thinking and rooted in self-compassion.

Molly sits down with Laura, a longtime member of the Breaking Up with Sugar Facebook community, to share her experience posting about her journey for 100 consecutive days. She realized through the process that there's actually a much more powerful way to achieve her goals, and it has nothing to do with her strong desire to moderate her cravings nor with the willingness to “challenge” herself to overcome those cravings. In fact, she learned that the ideal of moderation and the concept of challenging oneself may be doing more harm than good in the long term. Laura struggled with an eating disorder in her 20s which led to a binge-restrict cycle that lasted for the next two decades, up until she came across the Breaking Up with Sugar community. All that time, a lot of money was spent at bulk food stores, specifically in the candy aisle. Laura often skipped breakfast, had a pauper's lunch, and ended up devouring a boatload of sweets for dinner. It eventually dawned on her that she was using sugar as a coping mechanism in order to numb herself to the various challenges and pressures she faced throughout her career as an athlete. As the Covid-19 pandemic rolled around, Laura became determined to change her behaviors. However, unable to find a suitable support community, she jumped from group to group in an attempt to get her eating disorder under control. Unfortunately, her perfectionist mindset prevented her from committing to any of the programs she was offered. And it didn't help that the majority of the nutrition plans she was encouraged to follow were incredibly restrictive, labeling foods as “good” or “bad”, and did not take lifestyle and preferences into account. Molly and Laura discuss the blinders that most people tend to put on themselves, whether or not they realize it when they decide to go all-in on their wellness journey. Oftentimes we conflate our desire to moderate our cravings with our actual ability to do so, and we end up doing a “fake all-in”, ultimately disappointing ourselves in the end. In fact, moderation is better as a tool in your kit along your path to breaking up with sugar, rather than the endpoint. It's so much more important to be gentle, mindful, and loving with yourself, and to take things as slowly as you need to. Taking that pressure off of yourself says Molly, will piss your addiction off like nobody's business. Episode Quote: “I was in a state of denial: that I wasn't a sugar addict and that I could moderate.” - Laura Connect with Molly: Want to hang with me? ME TOO!

A vulnerable state of wanting to lose weight can make diet culture messaging enticing, and we are more likely to follow whatever diet plan promises to deliver the results we want. It is important to realize that no single meal plan or approach will work for every individual. No matter what diet culture myths are being propagated, there is no quick fix, and committing to your well-being in the long term will lead to a much happier existence. Nutrition coach Mike Millner shares his compelling story about growing up as an athlete and identifying as one throughout his life until he became overweight in college and began an obsession with dieting and exercise. Mike developed orthorexia, which is an obsession with eating "clean" to the point that it can harm your health and well-being. Like many who suffer through this, Mike thought that if he were lean enough, he would be happy, but the lifestyle he adopted actually distanced him more from the activities that made him happy. While this restrictive way of life is highly addictive, Mike was able to lift himself out of it and treat his body with more love. In this episode, Mike discusses how he changed his behavior, examined all the beliefs he'd held about himself since childhood, and dug deep to pinpoint the reason for his desire to lose weight. Rather than viewing his past "failures" negatively, he viewed them as learning experiences and feedback about what works for him, what doesn't, and the tendencies he had toward food and exercise. Many people will relate to Mike's story because it demonstrates the importance of finding out what works for you individually and being aware that you have a forever relationship with yourself. As Mike's story shows, adopting a growth mindset and committing to your well-being long-term can make feeling good in your body a reality for years to come. Episode Quote: “What do you believe about yourself? What is your internal operating system? We all have this ‘I am' statement that we've developed from childhood that tells us what we think about ourselves, and oftentimes we don't even know where it came from.” - Mike Millner Connect with Mike: Instagram @coach_mike_millner Website: neurotypetraining.com Connect with Molly: LOTS of EXCITING stuff going on over at mollycarmel.com - but most importantly, there are a few slots left to CHANGE YOUR LIFE in the ALL IN Intensive Coaching Program beginning February 5th - sign up for a 15 minute strategy session with me :) Take a look at the AMAZING OWN YOUR WORTH EXPERIENCE I'm participating in on MARCH 31st - ownyourworthexperience.com There are also LOTS of other offerings - Fireside chats, intenSati classes all on mollycarmel.com - including February's LOVING YOURSELF Fireside on Feb 15!

Molly is joined by Leanne, a member of the “Breaking Up with Sugar” Facebook community to engage in a coaching session and take a deeper dive into her relationship with food. Usually, this journey goes one of two ways: we heal our relationship with food, and then other parts of our lives that need healing are revealed, or we work on other aspects of our personal development first, and then we shift our attention to food. For Leanne, she shares that the last few years have been challenging, and as she continues to do the inner work on herself, she struggles with her relationship with food. Leanne wants to focus on her health so that ultimately, she can get back to doing things that she truly loves in life. Although she knows what is in her best interest foodwise, the cycling of binging and restricting continues. Molly explains that this is because our brain wants us safe, and not happy, and there is safety in doing what is familiar. For someone that has experienced disordered eating or had a lifetime of binging and restricting, that is what our brain knows and it is predictable. Molly and Leanne take a deep dive into the underlying and subconscious reasons for Leanne's relationship with food and why she feels shame and the need to hide her habits. Although it might be obvious to us that binges have negative repercussions and ultimately steal joy, we have to acknowledge that they have served us in some way throughout our lives. That is why we get stuck in the cycle of clinging to these repetitive patterns and thoughts that don't serve us, but it's time to get some new thoughts. Some of our thoughts can be so toxic and we don't even challenge them. They can be completely untrue, yet we cling to them and allow them to be in charge. We get into a victim stance that feels safe and forget that we have choices, but the truth is that we can make a conscious choice to do what is best for us, and it starts with awareness. Episode Quote: “So many toxic thoughts go unchallenged that are not true, and something about the binging forever has made us really be victims to the binging and forget that we have choices.” - Molly Carmel Key Highlights Sometimes releasing certain food habits reveals other parts of us that need healing Leanne shares about her relationship with food which she ultimately knows isn't in her best interest When we restrict, we are setting up our body for binging Underlying reasons for binging Understanding the function of victimhood Connect with Molly: LOTS of EXCITING stuff going on over at mollycarmel.com - but most importantly, if the podcast resonated with you today and you want to join the ALL IN Intensive Coaching Program there are still a few slots waiting for YOU!

There is a profound wisdom inside of us that knows exactly what to do and who we are, but that wisdom is often overshadowed and drowned out by the chaos around us. We live in a world full of noise and are constantly bombarded with different messages. Even in the health and wellness realm, with messages around biohacking and healing, it can get overwhelming and difficult to discern the messages that are coming from culture and those that are coming from within our divine wisdom. Molly's guest today is here to explain that it really isn't that complicated. Manoj Dias shares his powerful story and background of being born into a Buddhist family and raised with spirituality. As an adult, he found himself operating out of anxiety and high stress, which lead to sleep disorders and various medications. After finding a meditation class, he got back in touch with his spirituality and learned to observe his thoughts instead of internalizing them. Through this, Manoj found freedom and wants the same for you. In this episode, you will hear Manoj's peaceful and calming message about why learning to get quiet with ourselves is so important. So many people are constantly looking for the next thing that will finally make them happy, when the truth is, it is important that we learn to embrace what is in this moment. A lot of meditation is appreciating what we have instead of looking for the next thing to make us feel whole. This isn't to say that we can't desire change because of course we can, but we need to realize that those things won't make us happy, it is who we become in the process. Manoj also explains the important distinction that we are not our thoughts and our suffering. This feeling of being free from our thoughts can come from the powerful practice of meditation. Episode Quotes: “Meditation isn't about feeling good. It's about being free.” - Manoj Dias Key Highlights Learning how to communicate and discern the messages between culture and ourselves Manoj's take on perfectionism Manoj explains the idea that we are not our thoughts and our suffering We live in an anxious time but we don't have to respond the way the world wants or expects us to Is there a way to befriend our negative thoughts? Manoj shares about his meditation and breathwork app called Open which is intended to bring presence and connection to everyone What is the easiest first step to take in this process?

Today's podcast guest is Elisa, a member of Molly's All In Intensive coaching program. In this episode, Elisa talks with Molly about how she finally let go of diet culture's obsession with quick results and developed a sustainable relationship with food that is free of chaos and fear. With coaching, self-determination, and a supportive community, Elisa's relationship with food has changed from obsessive and out of control to quiet and peaceful. She shares how the support of the group and professional guidance allowed her to beat the resistance she had towards changing her relationship with food and recovery. She will also discuss how this change led her to develop a more compassionate relationship with herself. Getting into a peaceful relationship with yourself and food is important because it's a relationship you'll have for the rest of your life. Change doesn't happen overnight, despite what diet vultures say. The reality is that change affects everyone differently and at different times, but learning how to feel your best with food and your health long-term is worth the effort. Elisa is a beautiful example of the long-lasting change that can occur when we honor our truths and proceed at our own pace. Episode Quotes: “If you lean in and say, you always have to be in a relationship with food, then what's the rush? If you want it to be lasting, you can't be scaring yourself with all this ultimatum shit that we do.” - Molly “I'm learning how to live life on life's terms without turning to the food, and it's actually been a lot more than that. I know how to go figure out an emotion now.” - Elise Key Highlights: What has changed in Elisa's relationship with food and herself The guiding principles Elisa followed to achieve true change How Elisa overcame the resistance to change her relationship with food How Elisa's compassion for herself has been strengthened through this process What led Elisa to add professional guidance to help her reach her goals What inspired Elisa's commitment to herself and her dedication to the program What has changed the most for her since she completed the program How Elisa sustains her progress on a daily basis LOTS of EXCITING stuff going on over at https://mollycarmel.com - but most important, if the podcast resonated with you today and you want to join the ALL IN Intensive Coaching Program, use the code ALLIN11 for 11 percent off from 1/11-1/17/2023!

Given this time of year and the fact that diet culture vultures are swarming, Molly wants to help you to access your wisdom so you don't fall victim to the marketing. You don't need to make a choice out of urgency and anyone that tells you otherwise, does not have your best interest at heart. Relationships with coaches are transactional and they should be working for you and wanting what is truly best for you, but that is not always the case. To heal your relationship with food, you don't have to spend one more minute with someone that isn't serving you. Molly emphasizes that your love for yourself has to be greater than you fear of disappointing someone, such as a coach or even a family member that wants you to eat something that doesn't align with you. Molly's goal in this episode is to help you be informed and prepared, and not fall into the traps that are abundant right now. If you fall into the trap, Molly isn't going anywhere but she provides guidance on how to not fall into them and how to choose someone to work with that will help you align with your highest self. If you need help, there are so many good people that can help you, but the problem is a lot of people are treating from their trauma. You want to make sure that the healer is healed themselves before they can help you. Molly wants you to be more thoughtful about where you are getting help and know that you can fire people that are not making you feel good about yourself and your relationship with food. Diet culture is at it's height today and it's here to take your money and keep you trapped in the diet cycle. One criteria to ask yourself when looking for someone to help is: “Are they looking to keep me in their cycle forever?” The goal should be to give you the tools you need to make it a sustainable lifestyle that doesn't have you feeling deprived and miserable. After the holidays people are feeling bad about their food decisions, and the diet culture vultures will say they are here to save you, but you need a guide, not a savior. Listen in to hear how to find the right guide for you. Episode Quotes: “I want you to feel free to fire someone that doesn't make you feel good about yourself.” “Validation isn't about kindness, it is about truth, and there are kind ways to tell the truth.” Key Highlights Your relationships with coaches is transactional and they should work for you Molly's criteria for looking for help How real and sustainable change works Don't fall for marketing that feels urgent and uses language such as “only one spot left!” Molly invites you to join Intensati and choose yourself Connect with Molly: Happy 2023!!!

With January 1 right around the corner, that means the diet culture vultures are coming out and are ready to prey on people that want a quick fix for weight reduction. This episode with Michelle Shapiro will help arm you so that you don't fall into that and know that you are in power of your own healing. Molly admits to having a compromised relationship with nutritionists due to most of them believing that a “one-size-fits-all” approach of intuitive eating is the answer when in reality, it is more complex than that. Michelle Shapiro is an integrative/ Functional Registered Dietitian and Patient Advocate and she agrees that the issue with the intuitive eating movement and diet culture, in general, is that it is not focusing on the specific needs of an individual. While the principles of Intuitive eating are based on great intentions, that doesn't mean that it will work for everyone. It gets tricky when we try to discern between intuition and emotion, and a lot of us are unable to make the distinction. For those with gut issues or chronic illness, it is not as simple as just being able to tune into intuition to make food choices. Michelle explains the philosophy of “Internal Family Systems” and the idea that we have separate parts of ourselves that speak to us, and while those parts have our physical safety in mind, it is important to know whether the part speaking to us is our true self or just a part that wants us to be safe. As Molly and Michelle go through each of the 10 principles of intuitive eating, they explain that while the overall goal is great, the question becomes, is this approach focusing on the individual's needs or just telling us this is the only way? Our approach to food and our body should be one that is individualized based on our own unique needs. That is why it is important to work with someone that is invested in getting to the root cause of any mental or physical issues you are experiencing. The goal is to approach health changes in a loving manner and in a way that addresses your own unique needs and is of your own desire. Episode Quote: “Being able to focus on intuitive eating as the first line of defense is a privilege for people that aren't sick.” - Michelle Shapiro Connect with Michelle: Websites: getanxietyproof.com | michelleshapirord.com Instagram: @michelleshapirord I'm FULLY committed to having you stay LIGHT and AFLOAT during the Bermuda Triangle aka Holiday Season!

Today's podcast guest, registered dietitian Dr. Heather Finley, joins Molly to have a discussion about gut health. As a result of learning about the connection between the gut and other parts of the body and mind, Dr. Finley was able to overcome the chronic bloating and constipation she experienced for 20 years. Towards the beginning of her healing journey, there was little knowledge about how the gut works and no one was able to pinpoint the cause of her symptoms. Our understanding of digestive health has evolved and we now understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset have a direct impact on it. When we talk about the gut, we need to consider the whole body. Our narratives about the foods we should consume to maintain a healthy gut have led many of us to resort to restrictive diets. However, as we'll discuss in this episode, gut health is not about what you shouldn't eat, it's about what you should. Your microbiome benefits from a diverse diet, and there's a lot more to gut health than your food choices. This episode will explore the gut-brain connection, how anxiety influences the gut, the myths surrounding the gut, what normal bowel health looks like, and what the gut actually does. As Dr. Finley explains, a healthy gut is much less about doing more and cutting out foods, but rather about getting back to basics and creating a solid foundation for optimal gut health. You can pre-order Dr. Finley's upcoming book The Healthy, Happy Gut Cookbook here. Key Highlights: Heather's origin story and how she healed her gut Gut-brain connection How bacteria helps us fight illnesses Improving your gut health can make generational change How stress and anxiety affect your gut health What is normal bowel health? Bloating: Causes, what is normal, and what is not normal Gut health requires a solid foundation What impact does water consumption have on gut health?

Sophie Chiche sits down with Molly to share how she built a loving relationship not only with food but with her own body. Sophie weighed 350 pounds when she decided to break up with sugar. The beginning of that journey was one of “self-destruction”, as she puts it; but, she saw it through to the end. She passionately reflects on the most challenging obstacles she faced and the life-altering lessons she learned through the years. Listen in as Sophie discusses how she got to the point where she not only shed all that excess weight, but also came to develop a healthy and productive relationship with food. She talks about the importance of being strong enough to remove bad influences—including people—from your environment, and to get to the point where every bite of food becomes a bite of self-love rather than of self-destructiveness. Episode Quotes “My parents have been through war and tell us that we'd better not waste food. But I've always thought, ‘Wait, if I eat it and it hurts me, isn't it a waste as well?'” - Sophie Chiche “When you call it ‘relapse', you can't be in a relationship with food, and you need to be in a relationship with food.” -Molly Carmel “My love for myself is greater than my care about disappointing you.” -Sophie Chiche Key Highlights Overcoming destructive paradigms around food nurtured throughout our childhood Placing more value on what's best for you over the opinions of others Why refusing food doesn't always equal wasting food How to kindly and tactfully refuse sugar Episode Resources: You can know more about BE CURRENT at being-current.com (come join me on their 31-day challenge!!)

Here in the United States we have an obsession with exercise, at the same time that we have an obesity epidemic. People are often judged based on whether or not, and how much, they exercise.

My guest today, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, has a new book out that takes a look at this issue and makes recommendations for what we can do to make positive changes in our society that will improve our overall health and life satisfaction. In today's episode, Natalia talks about: Some of the structural impediments that make it difficult for so many to maintain a healthy lifestyle The connections between socioeconomic status and exercise The rise of labor-saving products and the increase in the sedentary lifestyle The relationship between race and fitness The changing views of fitness in the US How a “suburban housewife” sounded the alarm about a growing health crisis and got the ear of President Eisenhower Why fitness is a social justice issue To learn more about and follow Natalia Mehlman Petrzela: www.nataliapetrzela.com www.amazon.com/Fit-Nation-Americas-Exercise-Obsession/dp/022665110X www.instagram.com/nataliapetrzela https://www.facebook.com/nataliapetrzela/ twitter.com/nataliapetrzela About Natalia Mehlman Petrzela Natalia Mehlman Petrzela is a historian of contemporary American politics and culture.

Women often find it difficult to make time for themselves and to explore the things they enjoy. On the podcast today, mindfulness and wellness expert Randi Zinn offers refreshing insight into how to let our natural inclinations guide us and why it is important to do this. As a result of her diverse life experiences, Randi is able to connect with and understand others, and she shares what she knows with us today. Randi notes that since we are products of a patriarchal society, we have to start small and not expect to transform ourselves overnight. As well as working with individuals, Randi enjoys group work because she believes community is incredibly powerful. Sharing our stories with one another can be very healing and it can effectively combat the noise associated with being human. Randi notes that letting people know they matter and are safe is a gift. Initially, Randi's work focused on women who had just become moms, but she soon realized that the need for self-discovery and living authentically applied to most women, so she now serves all women who desire more abundance. During this conversation, Randi discusses her own unique journey connecting with her authenticity, how she began this work, and what she has seen women struggle with most. She also shares some tips on how to overcome negative self-talk and self-perception. Randi shares several nuggets of wisdom in this episode, and you won't want to miss it. Key Highlights: How do we make time for play, joy, and creativity, and why do we need to do it? How we as women are taught not to choose ourselves and to put ourselves last How Randi defines prioritizing yourself, some exercises we can try, and why it is important. The power of authenticity, honesty, and love Even when we are good at what we do, things don't always work out How Randi started working with women around authenticity Slowing down, rejecting failure, and looking inwards What Randi is doing to reconnect with her personal brand and become more authentic In the absence of the resources to pause work, what do people do? Using your voice and giving yourself permission to be imperfect Episode Quotes: You become a part of the circle when you let yourself in. - Randi I have to be comfortable with disappointing people if I'm doing something that I know I need to do. - Randi Anytime I share something that is authentic and I think I shouldn't or I think it's going to impact me in a negative way, just the opposite happens. - Molly Connect with Randi Zinn Instagram: @randizinn Sign up for Randi's newsletters or get one of her meditations for free: goingbeyondmovement.com Get Randi's book: Going Beyond Mom- How to Activate Your Mind, Body & Business After Baby I'm FULLY committed to having you stay LIGHT and AFLOAT during the Bermuda Triangle aka Holiday Season!

Dr. Michael Goran sits down with Molly to offer his best advice on helping our children navigate our sugar-saturated environment. Now that Christmas is right around the corner, this is a timely subject to dive into! But, as our guest reminds us, making sure that our kids indulge in moderation is a challenge that lasts beyond the Winter holiday season. After all, we still need to keep in mind Valentine's Day and Easter chocolates, graduation cakes in May, ice cream in the summer, and all manner of sugary treats come Halloween! In short, as Molly puts it: “This idea that it's ‘just a treat' is a bit of a delusion.” Listen in as Dr. Goran explains what sugar does to kids according to research, besides weight gain. He talks about setting boundaries with our children at home, while at the same time empowering them to self-regulate their own food choices. Dr. Goran then breaks down the two main paths that anyone can take to sugarproof themselves—the 7-day and 30-day challenges—and how just seven days' worth of healthy food choices already makes a huge difference. Episode Quotes “Food is for enjoyment as well as for nourishment. We've lost track of that a little bit.” - Dr. Michael Goran “Even after only seven days of sugar reduction, you can get benefits at the metabolic level. We've seen observable changes in behavior, temperament, and energy levels in children in just a few days.” -Dr. Michael Goran Key Highlights What is sugar doing to our kids, exactly? How to make Halloween healthier (but still just as fun!) by starting a Switch Witch tradition How to teach your kids to self-regulate their food choices at home How artificial sweeteners do more harm than good About Michael I. Goran, PhD Dr. Michael Goran is a Professor of Pediatrics at The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, which is affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. He is Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at The Saban Research Institute and he holds the Dr. Robert C. and Veronica Atkins Endowed Chair in Childhood Obesity and Diabetes.

As we approach the holiday season, Molly has a lot to say about diet culture vultures and the marketing that says “how to survive the holiday season.” We don't want to just “survive” through this joyous time of year, we want to aim to thrive. Aiming for survival will lead you to hit below that mark, and Molly wants you to enjoy the holidays and feel a sense of joy and thriving. If we enter this season with the idea of just trying to survive, we can get into a fight, flight, fawn, or freeze mode, but if we are thinking of thriving during the holidays, that opens up a landscape for us to look at the parts of our life that bring joy, creativeness, happiness, and love. Molly encourages us to find “micro joys” in our life and see the world around us through a lens of gratitude for the small things. She shares some refreshing guiding principles to help you thrive through the holiday season so that you don't sell yourself short. So many people are trying to win off of your struggle around this time of year, but you need to take a look at who you are giving your power to and learn to access situations as your highest self. How do you know if you are in your highest self, or in your addiction mind? These guiding principles will help you determine exactly that and give you the power to make decisions that are in alignment with who you want to be. The marketing surrounding just “surviving” is a problem, because we are all worthy of thriving. Love yourself enough to be consistent and do things that bring you closer to knowing and loving who are you, because when you know yourself you're not going to sell yourself to the diet culture vultures that prey on people during the holidays and into the new year. When we know ourselves, we start to attract higher level things, and a fabulous way to heal and empower yourself is to join Molly for intenSati, and tune in to this episode to learn how to prioritize yourself, develop your guiding principles, and thrive through the holidays. Join the Thanksgiving morning intenSati at 9 am ET by clicking the link here. Episode Quote: “When you're aiming for survival, you're probably going to hit below that mark, and boy does that work well for diet culture.” - Molly Carmel Key Highlights Beliefs are repeated thoughts Work with someone that will empower you to be in a relationship with food and not a relationship with their program Avoiding diet culture vultures by accessing your recovery bank account and using those tools during the holiday season Surviving is not a good guiding principle How to know if you're in your highest self or your addiction mind Guiding principles to know if your decisions are aligned who you want to be Thoughts become things, so when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change Filling your power circle with people that are also trying to level up and thrive I'm FULLY committed to having you stay LIGHT and AFLOAT during the Bermuda Triangle aka Holiday Season!

Today's episode features Taylor Stone, a leader in higher consciousness, self-mastery, and energetics. Taylor's mission is to help remind women that they hold the power within them to become their own self-healers and live out their full purpose and potential. In Taylor's opinion, people can begin healing themselves by being honest about their choices and how the choices they are making are or aren't serving them. She teaches that people need to then give themselves some grace and begin working on healing. When people feel like victims, they forget they have choices, so Taylor and Molly strongly agree that it is crucial to leave the victim narrative behind. As a big proponent of gratitude, Taylor practices it every day. Although you may have a long way to go, it's okay and beneficial to hold gratitude for where you are right now. During this episode, we'll hear some of Taylor's personal stories about how she felt out of place at church when she was younger, how she always sought a deeper meaning in life, and how she finally found what worked for her. As a former NFL cheerleader, she will explain how being weighed every week during that time affected her relationship with food and her body, and how she healed. Taylor will also define and explain how energy, frequency, vibration, and alchemy are relevant to her healing work. Key Highlights: The role spirituality and religion play in overcoming addiction, and Taylor's quest to find deeper meaning outside the church Taylor talks about what it was like learning and working in the field of exercise science while being a cheerleader in the NFL Taylor's career trajectory from working for a well-known nutrition company to starting her own business How energy healing made a massive impact on Taylor's life and career What is energy healing? Taylor discusses alchemy, energy, and what one can expect from alchemy sessions Owning full responsibility for your life does not imply that you created or contributed to the trauma you experienced, but it helps you to move forward, says Taylor. How do we know when we have completed the work of healing? Is it possible? And how do we avoid being a “healing junkie”? Taylor's advice for people who don't believe in God Episode Quote: I believe in grace and moving through it, but there is also a point where you have to get to work and start being resourceful. - Taylor The truth is not fun. The truth is a frequency and when you start to tell yourself the truth, it's freeing. - Taylor Resources mentioned in this episode: Book: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks Paul Selig website: paulselig.com Listen to Taylor's podcast Vibe Higher I'm FULLY committed to having you stay LIGHT and AFLOAT during the Bermuda Triangle aka Holiday Season!

Today Molly is joined by Dr. David Wiss, RDN and founder of Nutrition in Recovery, a group practice of RDNs that specialize in treating eating and substance use disorders.This will be an episode about emotions, gentleness, and full body care. Dr. Wiss shares his views about intuitive eating, how trauma plays out in our immune systems, and the connection between the gut and the brain. Dr. Wiss believes in healing one's body before anything else using food. He asserts that food addiction is a global epidemic as a result of how ultra processed a lot the food we are consuming is and how those foods are changing our reward expectancies and behaviors. This in turn can spike other addictive processes and cause inattentiveness and impulsivity. According to Dr. Weiss, everything is on a continuum and a spectrum, so in order to make real sustainable change, we need tailor-made hybrid models that meet a patient's biological and psychological needs. Molly and Dr. Weiss will also discuss artificial sweeteners and preparing for the holiday season. Key Highlights: Dr. Wiss talks about what fatherhood has been like and how his family is doing. Dr. Wiss's views on intuitive eating, its effect on diet culture, and how people experience it differently Why intuitive eating may not be for people who have struggled with food rules or feelings of distress around food How trauma exists in the body and how legacies of trauma can cause inflammation in the body Stability, consistency, and boundaries- Heal the body first Dr. Wiss's thoughts on food addiction- Where it comes from and how to address it What happens when we entangle dietary restraint and food addiction, and how to tell the difference between the two. Advice for entering the upcoming holiday season Episode Quotes: If someone has a lot of conflict, I call it a discrepancy, there's a discrepancy between what their mind wants to weigh and what their body actually weighs–that discrepancy can be 30 pounds, but it could also be 3 pounds. As long as that discrepancy exists, there's internal conflict, there's conflict around food, and it changes the physiology of eating. They're living in flight or fight, they're not in rest or digest, and it doesn't allow the healing to occur. - Dr. Wiss Connect with Dr. Wiss: Website: nutritioninrecovery.com Visit wisemindnutrition.com to learn more about Dr. Wiss's program designed for people interested in using nutrition to optimize mental health.
