Podcasts about karly randolph pitman

I'm a writer and wonderer, teacher and mental health advocate, a mother and a craftswoman. My passion is bringing dignity, warmth and understanding to those 'not beautiful' places in us that feel perplexing, maddening, and misunderstood. I call this Growing Humankindness.Growing Humankindness arose from two things: from bearing witness to the beauty, courage, and persistent love of other people's journeys through shame, loss, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety, and from my own experiences through these gates of grief.My 20 years of eating disorders - and the ways they perplexed, saddened, and silenced me - sent me on a journey of understanding into attachment theory, grief, healing, self compassion, and interpersonal neurobiology. That journey eventually became the cradle of my work as a mother, woman and writer.If I had to describe in a sentence how Growing Humankindness offers her particular medicine to the world, it would be thus: may we soften our hearts towards what we fear, misunderstand, and shame, in ourselves and in one another.May we hold our human vulnerability within our hearts.May we see our noble beauty.The word that best conveys this softening is respect, a word whose origins are rooted in ‘seeing with new eyes.' As poet John O' Donohue so beautifully said, “when we approach things with reverence, they have powerful ways of approaching us.”And so I wonder: what rises to meet us when we offer reverence to those things that we most fear in ourselves, and in others?Breath by breath, my wish is that we may embody our wholeness – our deeper story – and live from this knowing. I believe that listening to each other's stories and witnessing the vulnerable courage of each other is one of the most powerful ways we can soften what divides us, both within and without. And so I bend my knee towards these stories in many forms.I write books, courses, and a reader supported newsletter, O Nobly Born; teach classes, and offer talks and poems to nurture a more tender world. I love to dive into the depths of poetry and soul, and as a craftswoman, I do as much as possible with my body and my hands. I'm currently writing a book about reframing and embracing the vulnerability that lives underneath overeating and other food compulsions. You can find me at Growinghumankindness.com and in Austin, Texas, where I tend my ancestors and my family alongside beautiful oak trees.

"Addictions always originate in pain, whether felt openly or hidden in the unconscious." - Dr. Gabor Mate This episode of TRIGGERED! takes on the topic of addictive behaviors through my own personal experience with food and sugar addiction. Join me for a discussion of: - what fuels us to engage in addictive behaviors even when we know they're harming us - the importance of not making an addiction or addictive substance the enemy - how the addictive cycle keeps us stuck in a loop of obsessive thinking and robs us of peace, vitality, and energy - softening addictive tendencies by understanding WHY and HOW you've used them as a coping mechanism or as a response to trauma - for sugar addiction in particular, the importance of cultivating more "sweetness" and self-compassion in your daily life I mention a number of resources throughout the episode.

In this episode, Karly Randolph Pitman and I explore the parts of ourselves that tend to overeat in response to stress through the metaphor of “Food as Mother” and how this perspective can help us understand why we overeat and move towards changing this behavior.   Karly is the founder and facilitator at www.growinghumankindness. She helps highly sensitive people who struggle with shame, sugar, and perfectionism and who want to heal painful habits of self blame, self criticism, and over consuming.     Growing human(kind)ness arose from two things:  Karly’s own experience with 20 years of multiple eating disorders, chronic depression, shame, and anxiety; and from bearing witness to others’ stories of challenge, growth and rebirth.    Karly lives in Austin, Texas with her husband Patrick and her family of two dogs, a very frisky cat, lots of dust bunnies, and beautiful oak trees.   Topics discussed in this episode:  How food has become a refuge during the Covid-19 pandemic (3:58) Food and the Mother archetype (4:56) Food is safe, nourishing & comforting (5:16) Food as Mother as a metaphor for our relationship with food The significance of core needs Overeating as soul preservation  (9:17) Listening & connecting to the side of ourselves that is seeking solace in food (9:44) Moving away from thinking of overeating as the enemy (9:56) Tending and befriending rather than fighting (10:06) How this approach helped Karly move away from shame regarding her eating disorder (10:22) The shift in our approach to a challenging aspect of ourselves shifts our relationship to that aspect of ourself and plays a huge part in changing the behavior (11:45) Our coping mechanisms for stress, overwhelm & trauma can be messy (12:29) Stand in contrast to the Western culture of controlling your own destiny (13:08) Can cause you to dislike your response to stress (13:31) Examples:  Eating when you are stressed (13:31) Binge watching Netflix (13:36) Understanding the base human need for connection (14:15) Dr. Anita Johnston’s book “Eating by the Light of the Moon” (15:07) How the kinds of food we are eating reflect the kind of nourishment we are seeking  Recognizing the wisdom of the body’s desires for a particular food (16:42) How sugar or comfort foods can make you feel heard, understood & acknowledged (17:03) The risk that of not being heard or understood when you ask someone for support (17:47) How the act of eating is used to fill the need for empathy (18:20)  How the food reflects back what we are feeling and needing (18:45) How food does not carry the same risk as someone dismissing or minimizing your feelings (19:09) Yet food does not meet the need for connection (20:03) Food becomes a safe substitute for meeting your needs (20:36) How to transition from using food for connection to finding safe connections within ourselves and others (21:27) Very different from breaking a habit (21:46) Focus moves away from changing a behavior to nurturing safety within your being and others (22:12) Deepening connections within yourself and the wider world (22:36) Food becomes one of many ways for connection rather than the primary way (22:50) Becoming consciously aware of the part of yourself that is overeating and your internal critic (24:11) How Karly’s focus on self-compassion brings you into a loving and nourishing relationship with that part of yourself (24:47) How connecting to the Mother archetype helped Karly (25:04) Ideas for connecting with the Mother archetype Gardening, caring for pets, relationships with loved ones (25:43) Seeing your needs as sacred (26:16) Befriending your neediness and healing your relationship with food are intimately connected (26:38) Acknowledging our needs can be shaming (26:56) When we have shame regarding our needs, there is no way to acknowledge them directly (27:21) We can use food to fill the deficit, but we continue to feel unnourished, deprived and unprotected (27:21) Having a different relationship with our needs often changes our relationship to receiving (27:55) Being a place of receiving can be very vulnerable if we’ve been shamed for our needs in the past (28:11) The risks in asking for help (29:43) Karly & Lourdes’ work with Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) (30:41) HSPs are more attuned to their needs and feelings (30:51) Can create shame in a culture that isn’t attuned to feeling or emotion (31:06) For HSPs, food can become a way of receiving mothering (31:30) Asking for your needs to be met can be risky, but it’s the way forward to receive the help and support that feeds and nourishes us (32:00) Suggestion for personal practice: Asking yourself and your loved ones, “What do you need?” (32:57) Can make the person responding to the question feel very vulnerable (34:03) Allow the person responding time to process before answering (34:29) Some beginning steps to help someone working with overeating (36:44) Consider overeating as a prayer in disguise (37:07) It’s a part of yourself asking for help (37:19) Pause and ask yourself: What are you feeling?

This episode is my interview with speaker, author, and writer Karly Randolph-Pitman on the concept of the inner rebel. The inner rebel is that voice or energy that pops up from within you when you try to make a change, take a risk, or work on healing yourself in a deep way. The inner rebel might sabotage your efforts, derail your progress, or get in your way when you try to improve yourself or your life. Learn how to work with - rather than against - this inner rebel, which is ultimately an important and valuable part of yourself.

Guest, Karly Randolph Pitman, helps men and women find deep healing, peace and relief from food compulsions like overeating, sugar addiction, and binge eating. Rather than teaching strategies to control or manage the food behavior, I offer a map to heal the emotional and spiritual hunger that drives food compulsion itself. I call this map growing human(kind)ness–a method that helps clients foster mercy and compassion so they can heal the suffering of separation keeping them outside of the circle of Love. Karly does not believe that eating disorders are diseases that one must endure till the end of life. They’re coping strategies, often shaped by some form of loss. They may look really, really messy on the surface, but they’re based in loving self protection. At their core, a deep intelligence is at work. Through Divine love, the spiritual and emotional hunger can be satisfied, the obsession with food or sugar can be outgrown, and the loss can be healed.

In this episode I have the enormous honor of speaking with Karly Randolph Pitman, a woman who's compassion, love, power, and wisdom is nearly palpable in just a skype conversation.  Possibly the podcast that resonates the most with my own story, as well as with what I believe are the most powerful methods and insights for overcoming disordered eating. In this episode, Karly and I discuss her history with bingeing and restricting, why everyone overeats at night, how marriage can't fix your brain, and how the question why can ruin your (and nearly ruined my own) life.
