Rebecca Sebastian is a long-time yoga teacher and 11-year yoga therapist. She owns an accessible and inclusivity-focused yoga studio and apothecary in Davenport, Iowa, called Sunlight Yoga + Apothecary, and is the host of the Working In Yoga Podcast. Rebecca is a passionate writer on yoga topics and she participates and loves all things yoga and the yoga industry. She believes that through writing and communication, we can all lift each other up and share what lights us up with the world. This episode came about because of a hard conversation between Rebecca and Shannon as friends when they realized that they were on the same journey but not on the same page about some things.

Quotes from this episode: "I think we learn a lot from private conversations through friends about tough things." - Shannon "After those [tough] conversations you're like, wow, our friendship is way stronger, but on the flip side of it, when it starts to go sideways, it also can mean the end of a friendship." - Shannon "One of the best things about being able to have hard conversations with friends is that if you truly have respect [and a] friendship connection, the stakes feel a little bit lower because you ... can practice having hard conversations with people who are gonna be still in relationship with you at the end of those hard conversations." - Rebecca "To have conversations that are difficult, all parties should consent to that conversation." - Rebecca "How do we hold space for difficult conversations if we don't want to be in them?" - Rebecca "Every change is a long game. It is always a long game." - Rebecca "I also know that I show up for the work in my own community and that's my priority." - Rebecca "I can't care about everything, I can't. Otherwise I'm not gonna show up for the things that matter to me." - Rebecca

Cars Commerce has a platform to simplify the next generation of automotive retail, including Cars.com, AccuTrade, Dealer Inspire, and coming soon, Cars Commerce Media Network. Rebecca is a highly respected expert in the automotive industry. She shares her views on the rise of plug-in hybrids, the recent headwinds for pure electric cars, and new auto technology.

Explain the difference between pure-electric, plug-in hybrid, and traditional hybrids. Why are sales of hybrid vehicles increasing in the US? Do the new US EPA auto rules for increasing electric technology include hybrids? Is the higher price of plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles a barrier to sales? Why are Tesla's sales slowing? Explain BYD's success in 2023 and if they could come to North America. Do you think solid-state batteries, if they become available, will increase EV adoption rates? Are self-driving electric cars just delayed, or are they no longer likely?

Do you struggle with perfectionism? Have you tried to ditch the diet, but still find yourself obsessing over eating "right?" Do you have a hard time letting go of the weight loss goal, even if you are far into your intuitive eating journey? Does food feel like an all or nothing experience for you, either eating for pleasure or restricting for weight loss? Listen now for some advice on how to work through these issues. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. Key Points: It's National Dieting Month! Be sure to listen in on all the bonus episodes this month to help you avoid the excessive diet talk and fat-shaming gym membership chit chat! Sometimes we can go into certain food restrictions, such as vegetarianism and veganism, with the best of intentions, but they can quickly spiral out of control and feel obsessive. Weight loss is seductive! How do we relate to food in a neutral, balanced way, rather than one that feels like an all-or-nothing, binge restrict cycle? Perfectionism can stand in the way of feeling safe with food and trusting your body. Rebecca Scritchfield joins for some more insight on this topic, and a conversation on body kindness! Diet culture is toxic!! We all need some love and compassion when trying to tackle it. If we're trying to put ourselves first, embrace self-care, and embody self-acceptance but we have not yet fully accepted our bodies just as they are, this can lead to a common but difficult tug of war: to diet, or to drop the diet and plunge headfirst into body acceptance. "Fears and anxieties can lead to desperate decisions and actions." - Rebecca How do we strive for a healthier, happier life in a holistic sense, rather than one that focuses on our size or shape? Feeling stuck between dieting and self-acceptance is draining... how do we break out of that? Rebecca weighs in! Acceptance even in the face of anxiety and discomfort. Space to reflect and engage in compassionate and rational thinking. "Perfectionism means unachievable!" - Rebecca We must be able to question why we are holding ourselves accountable to something that we know no one else can achieve. Practice setting up boundaries around perfectionism and asserting that it does not work for you! STOP allowing it to control your choices. Can we accept ourselves and love ourselves, but still hold weight loss as a goal? If we sit with that desire, but choose not to pursue specific, unhelpful weight loss goals, and instead just bring those feelings along for the ride, eventually that desire will work itself out in favor of self-care and self-love. Take the action that you would take if you were ALREADY the person you "want" to be, and take steps to enjoy life! Eventually, the weight loss goal becomes less important just by doing the things that help you to love yourself more. Diet culture is everywhere, and NOT engaging in diet culture is a huge job! Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Rebecca's new book, Body Kindness!! Guidance and flexible tips to engage in self-care in all aspects of your life.
