Podcasts about obsessing

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Debra Benfield, RDN.Deb is a registered dietitian/nutritionist with 40 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food, movement and their bodies. Her work sits at the intersection of anti-ageism, body liberation and trauma-informed care, offering a radically compassionate alternative to diet and wellness culture—especially for those in midlife and beyond. After turning 60, Deb began questioning the dominant narratives around aging, vitality and beauty, and quickly realized the majority of resources still centered weight loss and youthful appearance as the ultimate goals. In response, she created what she couldn't find: A framework for nourishing the body that honors body respect, prioritizes liberation and embraces the full spectrum of aging. Deb is the author of the beautiful new book Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body.  Deb came on the podcast back in 2023 and we had what was really the first, or certainly one of the first, conversations we've had on Burnt Toast about the intersection of ageism and anti-fat bias. That discussion helped lay the foundation for how we're continuing to talk about those issues. Deb is someone I always turn to for resources and wisdom as we're navigating those conversations here. I am so thrilled to have Deb back on the podcast today, to talk about her new book, how diet culture has hijacked the menopause discourse, and why peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are actually giving you all the protein you need.  Unapologetic Aging comes out on December 16, so now is the perfect time to pre-order it as a holiday gift for yourself, your mom, or anyone you know in midlife and beyond! And don't forget that if you've bought Fat Talk from Split Rock Books, you can take 10% off your purchase of Unapologetic Aging there too — just use the code FATTALK at checkout.And if you value this conversation, a paid subscription is the best way to support our work!Join Burnt Toast!

Two recent campaigns that prove clever beats polished every time. This week on Got Marketing?, Mia is back with fan-favourite guest and CDM Community Manager, Lillie Brown, to unpack two standout campaigns. From a heritage gardening brand to a challenger pet food company, these campaigns couldn't be more different but both deliver lessons in brand storytelling and cultural connection. First up, Seasol's “Dirty Old Secrets”, a witty, intergenerational campaign that turns a humble seaweed tonic into a cultural moment. With eccentric Aussie gardeners and cheeky storytelling, it proves even dirt can sparkle with the right creative lens. Then, Lyka's “The Brutal Pickup,” a hilarious Halloween-timed horror spoof about dog owners' worst nightmare: the sloppy poo pickup. It's bold, gross, and brilliantly clever, turning gut health into must-watch marketing. The episode also touches on ethical marketing and the subtle but important issue of the male gaze in advertising; how even great campaigns can unintentionally reinforce outdated narratives, and why it's on us as marketers to do better. What you'll take away from in this episode: ✨ How Seasol's Dirty Old Secrets built an enduring brand platform through humour and heritage ✨ The power of intergenerational storytelling in modern campaigns ✨ Why Lyka's disruptive “Brutal Pickup” works, and how timing amplified its success ✨ When (and how) to use grossness, taboo, or discomfort in marketing without crossing the line ✨ The ethical responsibility of marketers to challenge the male gaze and go deeper in creative critique ✨ Why challenger brands must be loud, and legacy brands must defend their market leadership ✨ What Airbnb got wrong (and how not to lose your brand edge to performance marketing) ✨ How brand campaigns build long-term equity beyond the conversion cycle Campaigns and episode mentions: Seasol: https://www.seasol.com.au/dirty-old-secrets/ Lyka: https://lyka.com.au/ Airbnb: https://www.thedrum.com/news/airbnb-cmo-ditching-performance-marketing-big-bold-brand-campaigns Connect with Lillie: Website: https://www.lilliebrown.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexwithlillie/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lillie-brown/ Connect with Mia: Connect with Mia on LinkedIn Follow got marketing? on Instagram Get the backstage pass to Got Marketing? on Substack.

Tired of waking up in reaction mode—immediately checking your body, obsessing over yesterday's food choices, or spiraling into anxiety about what you'll eat today? You're not alone, and there's a better way. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact 3-question ritual that helped me break free from the constant body checking and food obsession that kept me stuck in my eating disorder. This practice takes less than 5 minutes but will completely shift how you start your day—from reaction mode to intention mode. You'll discover: - Why living in reaction mode keeps you trapped in your eating disorder's grip - The neuroscience behind why this simple ritual actually works to rewire your brain - The 3 powerful questions I use every morning (and whenever I'm triggered) - How to shift from avoidance motivation to approach motivation in recovery - Specific examples of how to apply each question to eating disorder recovery - Why gratitude isn't just “toxic positivity” when done right If you're ready to stop giving your eating disorder the power to dictate your entire day, this quick win is for you. -----  **The 3-Question Ritual:** 1. What am I grateful for? (Look for evidence of goodness and progress) 1. What am I focused on gaining? (Move toward something, not away from fear) 1. What am I choosing to release? (Let go of what's weighing you down)  **From Reaction to Intention:** Your eating disorder thrives when you're reactive. Intention gives you back your power.  **Approach vs. Avoidance:** Research shows you're significantly more likely to succeed when you focus on what you're moving toward (freedom, energy, peace) rather than what you're running from (weight gain, judgment, discomfort).  **Start Small:** On hard days, “I'm grateful I woke up today” is enough. Progress over perfection, always. ----- Resources Mentioned: - **The Recovery Collective:** Bi-weekly community calls where we practice living recovery with intention together. Founding member pricing: $47/month for the first 6 months. Learn more and apply at www.herbestself.co/recoverycollective  ----- Action Steps:  **Grab your journal and answer these three questions right now:** 1. What are 3 things I'm grateful for? (At least one recovery-related) 1. What am I focused on gaining this week in my recovery? 1. What am I choosing to release today?  **Commit to asking yourself these questions every morning this week** and notice how it shifts your day  **Next time you catch yourself body checking or food obsessing,** pause and run through the 3 questions to ground yourself back in intention ----- Quotes from This Episode: *“Your eating disorder loves when you're reactive—it feeds off your panic, your fear, your overwhelm. But when you start with intention, you take that power back.”* *“You can't gain what you want while holding onto everything from your past. You can't move forward while gripping tightly to old beliefs, old behaviors, old versions of yourself.”* *“When you're living with intention instead of reaction, recovery becomes something you're actively creating rather than something you're just trying to survive.”* *“We're not white-knuckling our way through recovery anymore. We're intentionally choosing what we want to gain.”* *“Recovery is so much sweeter when you're not white-knuckling it by yourself.”* Connect with Lindsey Website: www.herbestself.co  Private Facebook Community: Her Best Self Society www.herbestselfsociety.com  1:1 Client Applications: HBS Co.

Why? Because even after building The Riveter and leading massive teams, she knows it's never too late to shift gears, find clarity, and build something new that actually fires you up.This one's for anyone who's tired of feeling stuck on the content hamster wheel and ready to put their energy into what actually moves the needle.So quit obsessing over followers.

Men debate if women's body count matters, but here's the truth: her sexual past does impact her ability to pair bond, stay loyal, and build long-term connection. The problem is you will never know her real number—women lie, minimize, and hide it. Obsessing only kills your frame. Instead, focus on how she treats you today, her respect, her loyalty, and her consistency. Stop pedestalizing her past and start evaluating her present behavior. That's where your real power lies.

Don't stress over your credit score — here's why. Too many people believe their credit score is the ultimate sign of financial health. But your credit score is NOT a measure of wealth, success, or stability.

Meanwhile, people drowning in debt can have “great” credit scores — because they keep borrowing!In this episode, we'll break down:Why your credit score doesn't define your financial healthThe truth about credit vs. insurance scoresWhy obsessing over your score keeps you trapped in debtHow real wealth is built through budgeting, debt freedom, and net worth growthSimple habits that will naturally improve your score over timeIf you're tired of chasing a number and ready to focus on real financial freedom, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need.Hit subscribe, drop a comment about your own experience with credit scores, and share this with someone who needs to hear it.Articles:Insurance Scores: https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/insurance-score/Credit Score Financial Future: https://www.finra.org/investors/personal-finance/how-your-credit-score-impacts-your-financial-future**Support the Stream By Shopping at Our Store** Buy Your Financial Mirror Gear: https://www.thefinancialmirror.org/shop YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thefinancialmirrorRumble: https://rumble.com/TheFinancialMirrorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefinancialmirr0rX: https://twitter.com/financialmirr0rInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefinancialmirror/Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/thefinancialmirrorIf you are in need of a Financial Coach, don't waste another day of being in debt, not planning for retirement, or simply wondering where your money went each month.

What happens when we become so fixated on our flaws that we miss the strengths hiding in plain sight? For years, I've watched people struggle with change not because they weren't trying hard enough, but because they were looking in the wrong direction.  The science of "inattentional blindness" explains why we miss critical solutions when we're hyper-focused on problems.  Just like participants who fail to spot a gorilla walking across a basketball court because they're busy counting passes, we miss our own strengths and resources when we're fixated on fixing what's broken. This psychological phenomenon creates a self-defeating cycle of demotivation and missed opportunities.  Through my two decades in coaching, I've discovered that the most powerful transformations happen when we flip the script.  Rather than obsessing over weaknesses, "awesome-based coaching" leverages what's already working. Drawing from principles developed by Precision Nutrition and my own experience transforming habits, I share practical ways to apply this strength-based approach to everything from health habits to business building. Whether you're struggling with personal change, leading a team, or trying to transform an entire system, this episode offers a refreshing alternative to the "fix what's broken" mentality that dominates our culture. As it turns out, you don't need more discipline or willpower - you need to recognize and build upon the strengths you already possess.  Join me in exploring how to create lasting change by focusing not on what's wrong, but on what's possible.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Tried a new method for preserving Swiss chard   Second wave of cucumbers is coming in this week   Ate a frog: cleared out the storage shed (creating more space for power pantry storage instead of just piles of stuff)   Time to double down on drying herbs for tea and cooking Operation Independence Really excited about the upcoming canning class   Hosted a Hipcamper this weekend — boom! $25 earned Main Topic of the Show: Victim or Victor First let's look at what a victim is - or rather signs that you are acting like a victim and therefore bringing more negative upon yourself: Overusing the term "I can't" Explaining to friends all the things that went wrong or worked against you EVERY time you get together. Obsessing on what other people think about you, say about you, did to you - or are doing to you to undermine you Telling yourself you'll never get X because Y happened - over and over - this is a message that will come true when you say it - you are the story you tell yourself Focus on the causes of your current troubles rather than the things that can solve problems. And what does the victor look like? Takes rabid responsibility for their part in their own troubles (John Bush on self reflection, Buying things with a credit card to satisfy the instant gratification monkey, Friend with a violent husband removing herself from access, etc.) Controls their reaction to bad things to make the best of it - but not in a fake toxic positivity way. (Macchu Picchu) Focuses on what they CAN control (this one hurts for a reforming political junkie) Sees obstacles as challenges rather than insurmountable roadblocks Gains self worth internally, not from the feedback of others (and therefore cares not what people say about them or if people are trying to undermine them) A victor will ask - how can I? A victim will say I can't. That is the biggest difference between the two. So how do you become a victor when you are stuck as a victim? Recognize where you are - that is the first step to owning your future Shift your mindset from being helpless to proactive, rabid responsibility Know what you cannot control, and embrace that you can control your reaction to it Kill the negative thoughts and paranoia and ask yourself - How can i? Forgive - forgive yourself, forgive those around you - but it is ok to NOT forget6. Set boundaries to keep yourself building your future rather than getting stuck in past, unhealthy cycles.
