Happy Satiated Saturday! Labels like stress eating and emotional eating need some updating. By tacking on the words stress or emotional to eating, it gives the perception that the "problem" is stress or emotions, and if you can fix being a stressed person or person who feels (an impossible task), THEN the food behavior might go away. Stress and emotions are a part of life. Because of this, the practice can be to see the presence of stress or any emotion as body communication. It is telling you how it is processing your external and internal environments. Your body doesn't need help getting rid of the stress or the emotion. These things are present to get your attention that your body needs your support. With this perspective, stress eating can be seen as a bodily messenger letting you know that your body needs you to connect. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Melissa McCreery, PhD, Psychologist, Emotional Eating Expert, and Author about: The complexities of stress eating including how stress impacts food choices and behaviorsNavigating emotional responses to foodPractical strategies for pausing and checking inBuilding routines around self check insAcknowledging your needs and who you want to be that could lead to making different food decisionsBefriending stressYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: www.stephaniemara.com/blog/navigating-stress-eatingI loved this episode and I hope you enjoy it as well! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Melissa here: Website: ⁠https://toomuchonherplate.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TooMuchOnHerPlate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toomuchonherplate/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissamccreery/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, 209. The Response Effect,  I'm diving deep into what I call "The Response Effect" - a powerful concept that's been on my mind lately. We're exploring how our responses to situations, mistakes, and challenges matter WAY more than the actual event itself. Whether you're a missionary, preparing to serve, or a returned missionary, this episode is all about understanding how grace, curiosity, and compassion can completely transform your experience. I'll share some personal stories - like the time a scout leader handled a situation with my son, and how my own parents' even-keeled responses shaped my understanding of love and support. We'll talk about why we often have reactive responses (spoiler: it's usually fear-based!), and how shifting to curiosity, acceptance, and unconditional love can create incredible ripple effects in our lives. Most importantly, I want you to understand that how you respond to yourself matters just as much as how you respond to others. This episode is a game-changer for anyone wanting to grow, embrace their mission experience, and learn to love themselves through every twist and turn. If you're ready to transform your perspective and create more compassionate, powerful responses in your life, this episode is for you. Let's do this!  As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

 Complaining is Like Junk Food: Just as fast food offers fleeting satisfaction but lacks nourishment, complaining provides only temporary emotional relief. This episode invites listeners to reconsider the impact of their words and thoughts on their well-being. Drawing an insightful analogy between complaining and consuming fast food, Margaret highlights how we often seek quick emotional relief through negative expressions that ultimately leave us feeling unsatisfied and burdened. This discussion reminds us that while life's challenges are inevitable, our responses can lead us toward either suffering or personal growth. As the episode unfolds, Margaret introduces her new mantra: "Change is difficult. Complaining is easy." This mantra serves as a powerful reminder that while it's natural to express our grievances, we also have the opportunity to engage in deeper, transformative practices that promote healing and growth. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own experiences with change, to acknowledge their feelings of disappointment, and to consider how they can shift from empty complaints to meaningful introspection.

You know that relentless, negative inner voice—the DJ spinning tracks on “Beat Yourself Up FM?” Yeah, I've got one, too. But what if I told you there's a way to finally change that channel and replace it with compassion? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kristin Neff, a true pioneer in self-compassion research, who's not only studied the science for years but has also used it to navigate her own life's biggest challenges—including motherhood and her son's autism diagnosis. Together, we break down why self-compassion is an absolute superpower, how it's different from self-esteem, and the real-world (not fluffy!) ways you can start putting compassion into practice—especially when you're going through hard times. Whether you fear that self-kindness is “selfish,” worry it'll make you lazy, or struggle to silence your inner critic, this episode is packed with science-backed strategies and powerful re-frames you need to hear.

If the words “be kind to yourself” make you want to roll your eyes (or run) you're not alone. For many trauma survivors, self-compassion doesn't feel good. It feels awkward. Threatening. Even fake.In this episode, Sarah is joined by trauma therapist Erin Witmer for an honest conversation about what makes self-compassion so hard to access, and why the resistance itself is often a form of protection. Erin shares her personal and professional journey with softening toward herself, the early life messages that shape people's inner voice, and what it looks like to meet shame and perfectionism with something gentler.They explore: → What self-compassion actually is (and isn't) → Why it can feel so cringey—even in recovery → The inner critic's role in survival → Tiny ways to begin practicing self-kindness without forcing itLooking for a trauma therapist or an EMDR therapist?

What if progress isn't the point? What if your soul doesn't move in a straight line, but in spirals and stillness? In this poetic reflection, Alexander Blue Feather reads from The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller and Rumi's The Guest House, exploring the sacred art of self-compassion. You'll hear about grief, letting go of the “muscular agenda” of self-improvement, and why setting a place at the inner table—for sorrow, disappointment, and loss—is an act of courage. Includes a laughter offering from Harvey Rose and a preview of upcoming fall offerings: grief-wise circles, a weekend silent retreat, and a 21-day guided meditation.

But this conversation isn't just about identity in the outer world, it's about the stories we carry inside, and the compassion it takes to hold them with care.Raised in a racially and culturally mixed household, Sarah unpacks what it means to belong to many worlds and sometimes feel at home in none.

We are all connected to folks with disabilities, whether they're part of our inner circle, or members of our broader community. Unfortunately, there's a great deal of stigmatization, misunderstanding, and judgement that crops up around disabled folks and their families. Parents of disabled children are traveling on a different path than other parents, and often need more support, but the people around them don't always know how to provide it. Therapist Amanda Griffith-Atkins joins Dr. Alexandra on this episode to offer guidance to those parents, as well as the people around them. When Amanda's son Asher was born, she discovered her life's purpose: to help parents of children with disabilities find their stride. She has become a leading expert in helping parents of kids with special needs navigate their emotions, relationships, and parenting, and her book, How to Handle More Than You Can Handle: Caring for Yourself While Raising a Disabled Child, is out in the world today.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel The words we speak and the thoughts we hold aren't just passing moments—they're the seeds we plant in the garden of our lives. Whether we realize it or not, we're always creating. Soul Recovery reminds us that healing begins when we become aware of how we're using our voice, both in the silence of our own mind and in the way we speak to those around us.In this episode, I invite you to take a deeper look at the power of your inner and outer language—especially in moments of pain, fear, or conflict. How we talk to ourselves when we're hurting… how we speak to someone we love when we're upset… these are sacred turning points. We can choose to repeat the old patterns, or we can choose to awaken.This isn't about perfection. It's about becoming more conscious. Instead of saying “I'm struggling” or “things never change,” we can shift into new language that aligns with who we are becoming. We can pause, breathe, and speak with intention. And when we do, the world around us begins to shift.This is the work of Soul Recovery: learning to meet ourselves with love, speak with compassion, and transform our lives from the inside out—one thought, one word, one choice at a time.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

In this episode, I will share the topics of self-empowerment and personal transformation that are close to my heart. We explore the ways we often self-sabotage, the incredible power of our identity, and the importance of self-giving in our journey toward growth and healing.I share an honest and introspective look at the stories we tell ourselves—how these narratives can either hold us back or become the very fuel we need for true transformation. This conversation is about more than just fitness; it's about sustaining motivation, redefining who we believe we are, and dismantling the self-imposed barriers that keep us stuck.Through practical tools and mindset shifts, I talk about moving from externally driven motivation to a source of deep internal inspiration. I also explore how embracing a dialectical approach—holding space for both struggle and progress—can create long-lasting change in health, fitness, and life.Together, we unpack how societal expectations shape our self-perception, how self-sabotage creeps in, and how the antidote lies in radical self-compassion and a willingness to shift our identity. If you're craving a fresh perspective that blends strategy with soul, this episode offers a roadmap to move beyond conventional fitness and step into a more holistic, empowered version of yourself.Topics Covered:Exploring Energy Medicine and Overcoming Dieting with Dr. SherryFrom Athlete to Advocate: A Journey of ResilienceOvercoming Limiting Beliefs to Unlock Self-Healing PotentialRewriting Self-Identity Through Awareness and Inner TransformationRewriting Personal Narratives to Overcome Limiting BeliefsEmbracing the Athlete Mindset for Self-Compassion and AwarenessThe Impact of Self Talk on Metabolism and Emotional EatingThe Power of Self-Love and Mindset TransformationConnecting With Dr. Sherry Siobhan Through Energy MedicineIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?
