With the guidance of her coach, Lara shifted her focus from weight loss to fueling for performance, building a healthier relationship with food, and celebrating her body for what it can do — not just how it looks. She shares how injury setbacks became opportunities for growth, how prehab and mindset work changed her approach to training, and why redefining success beyond the scale was the key to long-term progress. Whether you're in the thick of a mindset reset or just starting your own journey, Lara's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible — and it starts from within.

What if I told you that the eating disorder you're battling isn't really about food at all—it's about rejection? In this deeply personal episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own rejection story and how those painful moments shaped my relationship with food, my body, and control. From being told to "get in line by size" at dance practice to corporate disappointments and broken friendships, I'm sharing the rejection wounds that led me down the path of disordered eating. Here's the truth: perfectionism is rejection prevention. It's the way your brain tries to avoid the emotional trauma of feeling "not enough." And your eating disorder? It offers the illusion of protection—a false comfort that promises to fix everything and prevent future rejection. But the only thing it really does is lead to the deepest rejection of all: rejecting your own worthiness. Today, we're dissecting rejection together. I'm meeting you in that painful place so you can discover what I've learned: your rejection story can become your redemption story. Rejection isn't the end—it's God's protection, His redirection, and often the most powerful motivator for transformation. If you've been shrinking yourself to fit into spaces you were rejected from, this episode is your invitation to take up space again, feel free again, and reject the rejection that was never yours to carry. What You'll Learn: [02:30] The moment everything changed: My dance practice rejection story and how one comment shifted my entire relationship with my body [05:00] Why perfectionism is actually rejection prevention—and how it fuels your eating disorder [07:15] The cycle that keeps you stuck: Fear of rejection → False control → Isolation → Disordered eating behaviors → Reinforced rejection fears [09:45] How early experiences shape your relationship with safety (and why you desperately want to be seen, heard, and loved) [12:00] Protection strategies your brain uses: Numbing through restriction, creating physical armor through body changes, food rituals as predictable comfort [15:30] My personal rejection timeline: From Disney on Ice to corporate promotions, college boyfriends to broken friendships—the moments that shaped my story [18:00] The powerful reframe: Rejection is God's protection and redirection. What would you have missed if those doors had stayed open? [20:30] How recovered people reject rejection—practical steps to heal and move forward [23:00] The three questions to ask when rejection voices show up: "So what? Says who? Who cares?" Key Takeaways:
In this sermon, we explored the metaphor of marriage as a garden, focusing on the "weeds" that can choke out the health and fruitfulness of our relationships. Drawing from Ephesians 5:25-33, we examined both humorous and serious examples of marital "weeds"—habits, attitudes, and priorities that undermine intimacy and unity. We discussed the importance of giving marriage its own space, maintaining proper priorities (God, spouse, then children), and the dangers of boredom, hidden agendas, and selfishness. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we were challenged to examine our own hearts, seek God's guidance, and intentionally invest in our marriages with honesty, humility, and selfless love.
I've been reflecting recently on how much I talk here about the reasons food behaviors like binge eating have nothing to do with the food, but the state you're eating the food in. As I've explored here many times, there are so many somatic, trauma, and nervous system layers to your food patterns. But part of food recovery has to include explorations around food itself. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: How food can be a role model for the felt sense of safetyWhy eating is a somatic practice What to look out for when using food as a safety cue How to know when you're ready for this kind of somatic practice You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-food-choices-can-remind-your-body-how-to-feel-safeThis current Somatic Eating® Program class is already filling up!

And we're sticking to that mission and values, which is really important to me, because those are things that are always going to be good for you and for the…planet.” —Neka Pasquale Sometimes, wellness feels like a luxury instead of a way of life. Between the stress of business, family, and bills, it's easy to put health last until the cost of burnout catches up. What if the values that ground us—nourishment, balance, and purpose—were also the very things that drive sustainable success? An acupuncturist turned entrepreneur, Neka Pasquale has built Urban Remedy from her kitchen into a movement by pairing holistic values with smart business. Her journey shows that growth doesn't come from chasing trends but from honoring what genuinely heals and sustains people. This week, Justine and Neka provide clear, usable lessons about product-first growth, sourcing, hiring leadership, bootstrapped problem-solving, pivoting retail models, investor trade-offs, and how to scale without losing the values that made you special. Meet Neka: Neka Pasquale is the founder of Urban Remedy, a nationally recognized organic food company rooted in the philosophy of food as medicine. With a background as a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Neka has dedicated her career to promoting health and wellness through functional, organic, and healing foods.

In today's episode of The Slow Living Podcast, we're diving deep into the beauty of using autumn as a time to nurture yourself — not as a luxury, but as a necessity.

Sermon on Exodus 16:1-18. This is the fifth and final sermon in our fall sermon series called Blessings of God.As we kick off the fall, we'll look at the foundational stories of Israel through the lens of gratitude and blessing. With each step of the journey taken by God's people, they encounter another blessing God offers them. Some are obvious; others are disguised by circumstance. Through this series, we'll begin to see the blessings God gives us today.In this sermon, we explore how even in our complaining and rebellion, God provides what we need.
In this sermon, we continued our journey through Ephesians 5, focusing on the metaphor of marriage as a garden, specifically the role of "water"—the nurturing influence wives bring to the relationship. We explored how words and attitudes can either nourish or poison the marriage, using the story of David and Michal from 2 Samuel 6 as a cautionary tale about how even well-intentioned correction can go terribly wrong if delivered without grace. The message highlighted the unique power wives have to build up or tear down their husbands through their words, and the deep insecurities men often carry as a result of the fall. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we were challenged to use our words to bless, not curse, and to focus on moving forward together rather than digging up the past. The call was to be intentional in nurturing our marriages, choosing grace, encouragement, and a forward-looking perspective.
On this episode of Day by Day, our Journey Through Romans, Dr. Clif Johnson emphasizes the power of preaching the gospel to bring courage, strengthen faith, and remind believers of eternal truths that provide peace in any circumstance.

This week's intention feels both simple and wildly challenging: I will nourish myself first.We're taught that putting ourselves first is selfish, even wrong. But as I've been reminded again and again, when I fill my own cup—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—what flows out into the world is more authentic, more generous, and far less effortful. Nourishment from the inside radiates outward.In this episode, I share how I'm practicing this in small but powerful ways. These moments may seem small, but they ripple out in big ways.So this week I invite you to ask yourself: What does it look like to nourish yourself first? Remember, we're the only ones that can give ourselves what we truly need. It starts with us.LINKS:* Pre-Order Nicki's new book: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/weekly-intention-3* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* Podcast episode with Meggan Watterson: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/meggan-watterson This is a public episode.

Today, my guest is Katherine Arnston, founder of Energy Bits, who shares her personal journey of turning a family health crisis into a mission to empower women through nutrition. Katherine discusses the incredible benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, as potent superfoods that can enhance women's health, especially during menopause. She delves into the science behind these microalgae, their nutritional value, and their role in combating inflammation and supporting mitochondrial health. Today's conversation emphasizes the importance of lifestyle choices, including sleep and movement, in achieving optimal health and longevity. Katherine's passion for educating others about the power of algae shines through, making a compelling case for its inclusion in daily diets.

Today's message focused on the metaphor of marriage as a garden, specifically on the importance of “watering” it with our words, as described in Ephesians 5:25-29. We explored what it means for husbands to “wash” their wives with the water of the word—not just through Bible study, but through the daily spoken words that affirm, cleanse, and sanctify. Drawing from Genesis and the Song of Solomon, we saw how words have the power to shape reality, heal wounds from the curse, and create a world of grace in marriage. The sermon challenged husbands to use their words to affirm and accentuate their wives, rather than focusing on faults, and to be intentional in building up rather than tearing down. For those who are single or whose spouse is absent, the message pointed to the ultimate Shepherd King—Jesus—who speaks love and affirmation over us, making us secure in His love.
You may not think twice about paying that extra fee for canned soda, beer, seltzer, and other drinks at the grocery store, but how often do you bring the cans back to the store to get your money back?

He talks with Nichole this week about his inspiration, his process, and how you can help keep the project going.
Revitalizing Life Through Food with Cloe Parker | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this compelling episode of the Hopeaholics podcast, we sat down with Cloe Parker, the young owner of Parker Pastures, a regenerative agriculture meat company dedicated to providing clean, nutrient-dense beef, bison, lamb, pork, and chicken. Cloe opened up about her journey, growing up on a ranch, grappling with severe teenage anxiety and depression that led to suicidal thoughts, and finding faith and purpose through a transformative encounter with a deer and her fawns. She shared how, at 19, she returned home to manage the family ranch after her mother's stage 4 cancer diagnosis, taking over Parker Pastures just before her mother's passing, and facing near bankruptcy in the first year while navigating grief and a broken food system. The hosts and Cloe dove into the corruption of the U.S. food industry, discussing misleading labels like "grass-fed" versus "grass-finished," the harmful use of chemicals and corn feed that disrupts animal health and soil vitality, and the power of regenerative grazing to restore ecosystems and produce healthier meat. Chad shared how clean eating, inspired by Cloe and biohacker Gary Brecka, normalized his high blood pressure without medication, while Natalie reflected on her hunting experiences, emphasizing the gratitude and spiritual connection to ethically sourced food. They explored how modern disconnection—fueled by processed foods, social media, and lack of community—contributes to mental health issues like anxiety and addiction, with Cloe advocating for knowing your food's source through local farmers.If you are interested in purchasing grass-fed & finished meat check out:https://parkerpastures.com#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Today's podcast might be the most powerful one yet. ✨ I sit down with feminist theologian + bestselling author Meggan Watterson to talk about embodiment, rage, and the radical nourishment of the early Christ movement.What struck me most is how Meggan reframes personal power—not as dominance, but as the courage to embody our truth. We also talk about rage, not as something to suppress, but as critical information guiding us toward love.And then there's nourishment. The early Christ followers gathered in small supper clubs—not to proselytize dogma, but to break bread, feed one another, and create spaces of safety and belonging. Their focus was on sustenance, both physical and spiritual.This kind of communion, Meggan reminds us, creates an alchemy that fuels imagination and creativity, helping us step into the world as our truest selves—and as agents of change. This episode is truly soul food—fuel for imagination, creativity, and stepping into your own power.

Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Courtney Crisp (@drcourtneycrisp) joins Dr. Marianne to talk about eating disorders during pregnancy and postpartum. We discuss how body changes, medical weight stigma, breastfeeding pressure, and sensory sensitivities can trigger old patterns or spark new struggles. Dr. Courtney shares insights from her work with athletes and perinatal clients, along with lived experience of pregnancy nausea, food aversions, and postpartum adjustment. We also explore how neurodiversity, ADHD, and autistic sensory needs shape care, and why weight-inclusive, consent-based support matters for parents. What You'll Learn How pregnancy, medical monitoring, and rapid body changes can activate perfectionism, control seeking, and body dissatisfaction The effects of weight stigma in prenatal and postpartum care, and what weight-inclusive providers do differently Why severe nausea and food aversions can persist after birth, and how to support flexible, adequate nourishment Breastfeeding, pumping, and formula choices through a nonjudgmental, mental health first lens Sensory overload in pregnancy and the fourth trimester, including smell sensitivity and tactile overwhelm Athletes, performance culture, and disordered eating patterns that can resurface in the perinatal period How to protect recovery when social media pushes “bounce back” messages Building a trusted, affirming care team that honors intersectionality and neurodiversity Key Takeaways Your body will change during pregnancy and after birth, and that reality deserves compassion, not comparison. Weight-inclusive prenatal and postpartum care improves outcomes by removing shame and centering consent. Feeding decisions work best when they support the caregiver's mental health and the baby's needs, not a rigid ideal. Sensory supports reduce distress. Use smell blockers, quieter environments, comfortable fabrics, and predictable routines. Curate your feeds. Unfollow “get your body back” influencers and follow licensed, values-aligned clinicians. Recovery helps you show up for your baby and for yourself. Nourishment and rest are part of caring for your family.

Add sensory aids you find regulating. Ask your care team to avoid blind weighing and to discuss numbers only with consent. Invite a partner or friend to support meals, hydration, and rest.

Somatic Therapy, Nervous System Regulation, and Expanding Capacity for Rest: An Interview with Linda Thai Curt and Katie chat with Linda Thai, LMSW, ERYT-200 about practical, culturally aware somatic tools therapists can use, helping clients (and themselves) expand capacity for rest, and integrating bottom-up work ethically when working with trauma survivors and adult children of refugees and immigrants. Full show notes and transcripts available at mtsgpodcast.com. About Our Guest: Linda Thai, LMSW, ERYT-200 Linda Thai is a trauma therapist and educator specializing in brain- and body-based modalities for addressing complex developmental trauma. She teaches mindfulness, grief tending, and somatic practices with a special focus on adult children of refugees and immigrants. Linda has assisted Dr. Bessel van der Kolk in psychotherapy workshops on attachment trauma and offers trainings and courses worldwide. Key Takeaways for Therapists Gentle rocking and orienting to distance are accessible entry points for regulation. Track SUNs (Subjective Units of Nourishment) as well as distress in sessions. Somatic work expands capacity for rest, not just activation. Therapists must contextualize disembodiment within colonization, hustle culture, and systemic exploitation. Choose teachers and communities that match your style before committing to long trainings.

Author and fat liberation advocate Amanda Martinez Beck @thefatdispatch joins me to share what it's like to navigate eating disorder treatment while taking a GLP-1 medication for diabetes care. She opens up about her lived experience with atypical anorexia in a larger body, the challenges of muted hunger cues on Ozempic, and how she's learning to embrace nourishment with compassion. This conversation highlights the nuance of recovery, the complexities of body change, and the importance of choosing curiosity over judgment. CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses eating disorders, fat stigma, and experiences with GLP-1 medications. Please take care while listening. WHAT WE COVER How atypical anorexia is often overlooked in larger bodies Why Ozempic can suppress hunger cues and mimic anorexia symptoms Building structured meals and snacks when appetite cues are muted Holding nuance in fat liberation while navigating diabetes care Practicing curiosity instead of judgment when bodies change Fat accessibility in professional settings and advocating for support The creation of Nozempic Mondays as a community resource on Substack KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating disorder recovery requires intentional nourishment, regardless of body size. GLP-1 medications are not a “miracle cure” and can complicate eating disorder treatment. Choosing curiosity over judgment creates space for healing and body acceptance. Accessibility and advocacy matter in workplaces and communities. GUEST Amanda Martinez Beck is a fat author, disability advocate, and fat liberationist whose work centers on embodiment, faith, and justice.

In this powerful episode of the Equestrian Perspective Podcast, I'm joined by my lovely friends Emiscah Rose and Floriane to share an inspiring story of transformation inside our Nourished experience. Floriane describes her time in Nourished as a storm that cleared away everything in her path that wasn't truly meant for her - a storm that ultimately revealed deeper clarity, alignment, and nourishment on the other side. Together, we explore: The storm of transformation - how leaning into discomfort cleared space for her soul to expand. Healing at the root - Floriane's journey of facing and softening her deep fear of death, and how it reshaped the way she shows up in life and business. The role of horses and somatic wisdom in guiding her back to harmony, courage, and self-trust. The power of nourishment - what it truly means to feel full, aligned, and alive in your body and your purpose. Floriane's story is a reminder that even when transformation feels chaotic and uncertain, on the other side is freedom, expansion, and a deeper connection with life itself. - Explore the details for the next round of Nourished and apply here - https://www.felicitydavies.com.au/nourished Connect with Floriane - https://connectioninbalance.com/ Connect with Emsicah - https://www.emiscahrose.com/ https://www.instagram.com/emiscahrose/ Connect with me - https://www.felicitydavies.com.au https://www.instagram.com/felicitydavies_/

Do you feel like you've been wandering for too long? Have you been searching for someone or something to make you feel held in this world? What if the secret was not “out there” but somewhere much closer to home? It's easy to feel like a weary traveler on this journey of life, but there are ways we can nourish ourselves and “come home” to our own divinity. As we wander through the late summer woods, consider how life might look if you finally let the weary traveler within properly rest.

This episode is a pause—a breath between cycles, a moment to harvest what's been growing and begin the slow descent inward. Late summer, often called the “fifth season,” invites us to nourish, digest, and integrate. Governed by the Earth element, this time of year asks us to slow down, savor sweetness, and prepare for the challenges of autumn—not with urgency, but with steadiness.Join me to explore the energetic themes of late summer through seasonal rhythms and a special essential oil blend intended to support grounding, clarity, and digestion. A majority of this episode is devoted to a guided visualization*—an invitation to turn inward and connect with what truly nourishes us, emotionally, physically, and energetically.From juicy sweet fruits, the golden glow of the sun to the hum of bees, from the wisdom of spiders, this episode is a love letter to the mellow yellow season of transformation. To close, I share Chopin's Nocturne No. 17 in B Major alongside a word sequence that calls upon the Earth element's invitation to pause, integrate and nourish. Warm. Golden. Integrated.*Note: The visualization starts at minute 16 & the Chopin infused word sequence starts around minute 30.

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo September 7, 2025 AJ Ruff 1 Timothy 4:6-16 In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following. But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things. Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery. Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. 1. The Nourishment of the Believer (1 Timothy 4:6-10) 2. Your Age Does Not Your Ability To Be Used By God (1 Timothy 4:11-14) - Your age should never dictate your availability, obedience, or willingness to serve. 3. An Impact Beyond Ourselves (1 Timothy 4:15-16) - How you live for Christ as a follower of Jesus has the ability to affect people beyond just yourself.

I've been thinking a lot about what happens when we actually give ourselves permission to step away from the routines that keep us comfortable. Right now, I'm on the road with my dogs and a van that's more functional than fancy, and I'm calling this time my adult gap year (or period, lol). I may not have everything figured out, but I'm seeing what comes up when I put myself in new places and give myself space to grow. A “gap” experience is all about having the courage to NOT KNOW what's next. And for making space for what nourishes you. You know, it's funny what you start to think about when you finally peel yourself away from the day-to-day grind. Mostly, it's just about giving myself space to breathe and seeing what bubbles up when I'm not constantly busy. I think this is why shaking up routine matters. I'd love for you to join me on this Wise Walk to explore that very feeling. We'll explore the magic that happens when you shake things up, how to tune into those little sparks that give you life, and why it's more than okay to not have the next step all figured out. It seems like the best moments happen when we finally switch off autopilot and just let ourselves be. Outside of becoming homeless, what are the ways you can change things up or bring in some gap year elements so you can immerse yourself in new experiences and perspectives? Where in your life can you shake things up to gain a new experience and increase self-awareness? What's a routine that has been working for you, but you're curious if there's another avenue worth exploring? Are you willing to step outside of that norm or structure you created to gain different perspectives, new real-world experiences, and then decide if you want to continue, enhance, or change before committing to a new path? Are there areas in your life that you cherish but want to approach differently, especially with self-care practices you haven't been consistent with? How can you set yourself up to release what's holding you back and take yourself on a new exploration to try things differently? What is it you want to do with your time, what really matters to you, and are you willing to commit to making space for that? Where can you carve out alone time so you can hear your own voice and emotions above everyone else's? What do you want to do with the information that surfaces when you slow down and listen to yourself? Where in your life can you be open to receiving messages and self-awareness that are already inside of you? How does it feel to imagine yourself excited about what might surface? I'm really excited to pour my energy into the self-care practices and creative outlets that feel aligned right now, and to see what comes to life for me. And I'm so grateful that you're here, walking this journey with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't wait for next Thursday's Wise Walk. In the meantime, I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or feedback from today's conversation. Don't forget to prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On! In this episode: [03:04] I realized that I had gotten into routines and habits that felt like I was on autopilot. When you're in these routines it's more difficult to gain new perspectives and experiences. [04:09] When things are too consistent, I don't feel like I'm growing and expanding as much as I could. During this gap period I'm disconnecting from what I've known for a long time. [05:29] The beauty of this period of newness is that we don't know what we don't know. [06:39] I'm excited about bringing some of my favorite self-care routines on this trip. [08:56] My van is functional with bins and bags of beautiful self-care items. I got very clear on what I'm going to make space for in the van. [10:48] The biggest thing I'm making space for is my dogs. Nourishment is another big thing. Plus my self care items, and I'm holding space for my creativity. [12:17] Podcast equipment is coming, so you get to hear all about my new adventures. These Wise Walks and you, my listeners, are so important to me! [13:30] I also want to see what surfaces in this gap experience. [15:17] Sometimes we can't hear our own thoughts, if we have too many things and too many well-intentioned people influencing us. [17:24] I'm excited to invest time and energy in the nourishment and the self-care practices that feel aligned for me. And to hold space and invest in my own creativity and those outlets and see what comes to life. Memorable Quotes: “I am someone who appreciates change because it helps me shift out of that autopilot mode and it makes me go on Wise Walks with myself.” - Mary Tess “Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is say, I don't know what's next, and be okay with it.” - Mary Tess “When you quiet the outside voices, your own wisdom gets louder.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value EP254: Let the Feelings Flow & Let Go

Gut Health: Beyond Diet to True Nourishment We've been taught that gut health is all about what you eat. But at Functional Yoga Medicine™, we know the truth runs deeper:
Happy Satiated Saturday! After years and years of navigating food cravings, it was the field of somatics that started to shift my perception of them. I used to think of cravings as something I had to do battle with and couldn't listen to until I realized that I was defining listening to cravings as abiding by them and that listening to my craving meant I needed to eat the food some part of me was telling me to eat. I now experience and teach that cravings are bodily messengers. Cravings are meant to be listened to by bringing in curiosity about what the body might be trying to relay through having you want to eat a particular food.

Today, he dives into what went down—what it was like eating the traditional Inuit diet (including fermented seal!), how his body responded to the kayaking and change in diet, and insights gathered by the microbiologists examining his stool samples (yes, his poop). Now, he has planned to explore more remote places and to continue diving into traditional diets to see how his body responds. A former chef, Mike now admits that he learned more from this experience kayaking around Greenland than from the many decades prior, when he was purchasing and preparing overly processed foods.
