I have often felt like talking about self love can feel frustrating and confusion. What does loving oneself actually mean and look like? Early in my twenties, I think I thought self love looked and felt like self discipline. I went to yoga and meditated almost every day, I was strict with myself on what and when I would eat, I went to bed early and woke up early. From the outside, it looked like I deeply loved myself through how I cared for myself but that it not the way it felt. I felt trapped, depressed, and disconnected. My routine wasn't bringing me joy or love, it brought short term safety. And that bubble would burst if I did anything outside of that routine where I would then be so cruel with myself. Self love may show up as an act, but now I experience it as a felt sense. It feels like a warmth, a closeness, and an appreciation of my body for all that it does and navigates every day.In this week's episode, I chat with Lulu Essey, Speaker, Mindset Advisor, and host of The Lulu Essey Podcast , about: Understanding the difference between self love and self careThe practice of staying with yourself in all emotions, sensations, and reactionsNavigating discomfortThe role of safety in self loveThe courage to face inner struggles and the importance of asking for supportYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-self-love-really-is-and-how-to-embody-it-every-dayHope you enjoy this week's episode and talk to you more soon! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Lulu: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@luluessey Website: https://www.luluessey.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucille-marie-essey/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lulu.essey/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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

I've been through a similar trajectory that so many have in food and body image recovery. In my twenties, I got to a place where food was less of a concern. I wasn't skipping meals anymore and I was balancing those meals and eating all macronutrients. I felt much more grounded and regulated. But, the body image struggles continued to hang around. I felt good in my body but I still hated the way my body looked. So, I tried every mainstream approach. I tried the stronger over skinny approach where I lifted a lot of heavy weights and gained a lot of muscle. Yet still, it felt like it was never enough. So, I tried the unconditional body love approach and tried to love my body as it was. No matter how much I tried to challenge my internalized beliefs about my body, nothing would budge. I still looked in the mirror every day and internally said, "ick". When I started somatic therapy, it wasn't with the intention of trying to heal my body image. I was focused on healing from a trauma response. What I wasn't expecting was that I would find myself caring less and less about how my body looked the safer I felt. In this week's episode, I chat about: A somatic, nervous system, attachment perspective to body image struggles Research that points to body image struggles are more about alterations in your brain and nervous system than it is about your body Strategies to increase interoception, a key part of body image recoveryYou can read the transcript to this episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/reframe-your-reflectionI've opened the doors back up for the next 48 hours until midnight on Tuesday 5/26 to the Somatic Eating® Program. The first class has already occurred so you will be able to watch the replay of the first class and reach out in the already active community to ask questions and receive support. Something I wished I had as I navigated my food and body image interactions was someone who would have guided me on how to listen to myself, rather than give me a bunch of advice that didn't work for my body. That is what I do in the program: support you in cultivating trust in yourself that you know what is best for you and how to discover that for yourself after you've been away from your body for years.

In this episode of The Music in Me, I finally talk about one of the greatest entertainers of all time, Michael Jackson. I honestly can't believe it has taken me this long to dedicate a full episode to him because I have always been a huge fan of his music. With the new movie Michael bringing attention back to his incredible story and legacy, it felt like the perfect time to celebrate the King of Pop. I take a look back at Michael's journey from his early days with The Jackson 5 to becoming one of the biggest stars the world has ever seen. I also talk about some of his greatest hits, including songs from Thriller, Off the Wall, and Bad, and discuss why his music still connects with people generations later. From iconic music videos and unforgettable performances to emotional songs with important messages, this episode is all about celebrating the music, artistry, and legacy of Michael Jackson.The Magic of Michael Jackson's Thriller Ep. 62SONGS BY THE JACKSON 5:I Want You BackABCThe Love You ShareI'll Be ThereMICHAEL JACKSON SONGS AND ALBUMS...OFF THE WALL (1979)Don't Stop 'Til You Get EnoughRock With YouTHRILLER (1982)Billie JeanBeat ItThrillerHuman NatureWanna Be Startin' Somethin"BAD (1987)BadThe Way You Make Me FeelDirty DianaSmooth CriminalMan in the MirrorDANGEROUS (1991)Black or WhiteRemember the TimeHeal the WorldJamHIStory CONTINUES (1995)Earth SongThey Don't Care About UsWhat did you think of this episode?

In this special Mother's Day episode of The Music in Me, I'm diving into one of the most meaningful themes in all of musical theatre—mothers and the many ways they shape our lives. From loving and supportive moms to complicated relationships, from fierce protectors to moments of loss and longing, I explore how musicals capture the beauty, messiness, and depth of motherhood in all its forms. I also take time to celebrate the joyful, playful side of being a mom and share some of my favorite musical theatre songs that honor these incredible women. Along the way, I reflect personally on the mothers and mother figures in my own life, including my mom, my sister, and my niece, who is celebrating her very first Mother's Day this year. This episode is heartfelt, emotional, and full of love, and I hope it reminds you of the songs—and the people—that make you feel seen, supported, and loved.

My current perspective on eating disorders is that labeling food behaviors as a disorder has kept the field of food recovery distracted, continuing to focus on that food is the problem. Patterns of binge eating, restriction, yo yo dieting, food noise, and body image struggles need to be re-labeled as nervous system dysregulation or a trauma response. Food, for many, was never actually the problem, but it was the strategy to support the nervous system, to cultivate safety, and to produce specific neurotransmitters. The safer you feel in your body, the less you can experience food or body image impulses that are trying to facilitate safety.In this week's episode, I chat with Francesca Annenberg, Eating Disorder Recovery, Somatic Practitioner, and Psychedelic Integration Guide, about: How psychedelic assisted therapies can be utilized in food recoveryHow movement, sensory awareness and reconnecting with the body can transform food and body image issuesBuilding safety and trust in the bodyThe connection between food, relationships, and self worthYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/breakthrough-food-recovery-stucknessI truly believe somatic psychology has been the missing piece for many people struggling for decades with their food and body image.

Spring is in the air, and in this episode of The Music in Me, I'm celebrating the season of new beginnings with a playlist full of songs that feel like sunshine, growth, and fresh starts From timeless classics to modern hits—and even a little Broadway—I'm diving into songs that truly capture the spirit of spring. Whether it's the joy of stepping into the sunshine, the calm of a breezy afternoon, or the emotional journey of personal growth, these songs bring spring to life in so many different ways. I'll be sharing some of my personal favorites (including a few you already know I love!), breaking down what makes each song feel like spring, and exploring how music can reflect those moments of change, hope, and renewal in our lives. So if you're ready to shake off the winter blues, embrace a fresh start, and maybe even discover a few new songs to add to your playlist, this episode is for you. Let's celebrate the season together and let the music help us bloom.

I have a saying, Embody first, Examine later.When you're feeling like you're drowning in body image concerns or food impulses, your prefrontal cortex is shut down. This is the part of your brain where you rationalize and can think through what is going on. When that part of your brain is diminished, it can be much harder to try to understand what message your body is trying to send you through food cravings or body image worries.At this point, what is often needed is non-verbal connection with your body. Your body needs support in assessing that it is safe.In this week's episode, I chat with Beverly Atkins, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and the founder of Pauseture, about: The impact of movement on body awarenessNavigating body image and self perceptionCultural influences on body image and how the practice of Feldenkrais can support in updating your experience of your bodyHow to shift focus from appearance to sensationUnderstanding food behaviors through movement and nervous system attunementYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/feldenkrais-practice-can-improve-body-imageLastly, the doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!! Early bird pricing of $150 off goes until Tuesday, April 28th.

Since my time in graduate school for somatic psychotherapy, I have shared with anyone who would listen about the connection between somatics and nutrition. It has felt absurd to me that food was never talked about in my somatic studies. In my PhD interview, I passionately shared that I believe there is a need to bring the field of nutrition into somatics. This has been a 20-year journey where I'm seeing that others have also been trying to combine these fields. One of those people I'm thrilled to bring back onto the podcast.In this week's episode, I chat with Luis Mojica, Somatic Educator, certified in Holistic Nutrition, and author of Food Therapy, about: How Luis also came to combine the fields of somatics, nutrition, and traumaFood as a witness to your darkest momentsWhat different foods will do in your nervous systemThe importance of titrating balancing foods into your mealsOwning the choice to lean on food Somatic practices to move through cravings Discovering what your most craved foods are trying to do for you You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-use-food-cravings-as-feedback-of-your-nervous-system-statesWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Luis: Website: www.holisticlifenavigation.com Link to book page: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book Podcast: www.holisticlifenavigation.com/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic.life.navigationSupport 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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Around 2018, I was living in Denver, Colorado and I was in my ongoing process of combining the fields of somatics, nutrition, nervous system, and trauma. I've wanted to learn as much as I can about all of the possible perspectives of what affects and shapes our food interactions. I was a member at the Denver Botanic Gardens and found out they were holding an all day nutrition workshop with Dr. Deanna Minich. I had been following her work for a long time and was so excited to learn from her in person. Some of the things I learned at that workshop I still cite today in sessions. I have admired the way Dr. Minich combines nutritional science and spirituality. So you can imagine how overjoyed I was when she agreed to come on the podcast and share her wisdom. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Deanna Minich, Nutrition Scientist and Chief Scientific Officer at Symphony Natural Health, about: Eating and circadian rhythmThe relationship between food and spiritualityFood and connection with lineage, ancestry, and generational traumaPersonal food stories and food associationsThe power of sensitivityEmbracing color, play, and creativity with food You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/create-your-eating-timeline-to-understand-your-food-storyI hope you love this chat as much as I did and email me anytime with any insights you had from this episode! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch Dr. Deanna Minich: Website: https://www.deannaminich.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deanna.minich/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaminich/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/foodandspirit Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannaminich/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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

When I first entered into the world of wellness culture, I was swept up in the promise of health, vibrancy, and fixing every symptom I had and could ever have. I did the detoxes, the cleanses, the supplements, the colonics, the detox foot baths, the energy work, and the elimination diets. Now, if you're thinking, "Wait. I have done some of those things and they were helpful to me." That is great! But, what I've noticed is that wellness culture has commodified health to sell something. Things it didn't guide me to look at were detoxing my thoughts, my social media feeds, my low self esteem, and my trauma. Attending to these things was far more beneficial for my health and well being than any supplement I could ever take. Constantly trying to digest internal harsh criticism was part of what was fueling all of my symptoms as my body was living in a sympathetic nervous system state and the longer you stay in a fight or flight response, the more your body is going to struggle to stabilize. In this week's episode, I chat with Michele Scarlet, Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Personal Trainer, and Women's Health Coach, about: The impact of stressUnderstanding body communicationDetoxing mythsHow to support the body in a toxic world and no we're not just talking about what you ingest but also what you surround yourself withNavigating food choicesFostering self compassionYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/busting-detox-mythsHope you enjoy this week's episode and talk to you more soon! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Michele: Website: https://www.michelescarlet.com/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelescarlet_/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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm taking you on a journey through the world of jazz—one of the most powerful and influential genres in music history. From its beginnings in New Orleans to the legendary artists who shaped its sound, I explore how jazz became a voice for expression, creativity, and emotion. We'll talk about icons like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald, along with unforgettable songs that helped define the genre. I also dive into how jazz evolved over time—from swing and big band to bebop and beyond—and how its influence can still be heard in music today. Whether you're a lifelong jazz fan or just curious about the genre, this episode is all about discovering the heart and soul of jazz and why it still matters.JAZZ ARTISTS AND SONGS MENTIONED...Louis Armstrong - "What a Wonderful World"Duke Ellingtion - "Take the 'A' Train"Benny Goodman (King of Swing) - "Sing, Sing, Sing"Ella FitzgeraldCount Basie - "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing"Charlie ParkerMiles Davis - "So What"Thelonious Monk - "Round Midnight"Billie Holiday - "Strange Fruit"Sarah Vaughan Nina Simone - "Feeling Good"ARTISTS INFLUENCED BY JAZZ...Amy WhinehouseNora JonesKendrick LamarWhat did you think of this episode?

The statement, “You are not your body,” needs some somatic updating. This statement, which has been said countless of times to try to decrease body image struggles, actually guides you in detaching from the body, further causing separation from safely inhabiting the body.René Descartes' “I think, therefore I am,” reinforced a mind-body split. This contributed to the belief that the body is meant to be transcended and translated to: don't listen to your body, hunger, fatigue, needs, or sensations. This has led to further objectification of the body that it can be shaped to meet the mind's desires. and detaching from the body in the process doesn't teach you how to sense, feel, and relate to your body.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Challenging the statement you are not your bodyThe importance of inhabiting your body to decrease body image issuesBody image and your nervous systemUpdating the you are not your body sentimentJournaling questions You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/you-are-not-your-body-or-are-youHope you enjoy this episode and talk with you next week!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport 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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm diving into the inspiring and heartbreaking story of Jonathan Larson, the visionary composer who changed Broadway forever. After recently watching Tick, Tick… Boom! on Netflix, I was reminded just how powerful Larson's story is—and it also brought back memories of how much Rent means to me personally, since it was the very first Broadway show I ever saw. I explore Larson's journey as a struggling artist in New York who dreamed of bringing rock music and real-life stories to the Broadway stage. I talk about the autobiographical musical Tick, Tick… Boom! and how it captures the fear, passion, and pressure that come with chasing a creative dream. Then I dive into Rent, the groundbreaking musical that would go on to transform Broadway with its raw storytelling, unforgettable songs, and themes of love, friendship, and chosen family. I also reflect on the tragedy of Jonathan Larson's sudden death at just 35 years old—right before Rent opened—and the incredible legacy he left behind. From influencing modern musicals to inspiring artists everywhere, Larson's impact is still being felt today. This episode is about passion, perseverance, and the power of creating something meaningful.What did you think of this episode?

Once I started to connect the dots that the sympathetic nervous system plays a prominent role in food impulses and behaviors, I began teaching everyone I work with how to identify when their sympathetic nervous system is activated. This isn't something we're often taught as a kid and would be a game changer to learn earlier on in life. You may just be learning this language of your body and nervous system now though and feel exhausted from living in sympathetic nervous system dominance. And your bodily depletion makes so much sense. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Scott Sherr, Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician, about: Understanding the sympathetic nervous system The Sympathetic Spiral of DoomMitochondrial health and its impactThe connection between trauma and eating behaviorsIntegrating nutrition in trauma workAddressing long term health challengesPractical steps to support your mitochondrial health for improved regulation and metabolic signalingYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/get-unstuck-from-a-sympathetic-statePlease remember that your food behaviors can be bodily communication of your nervous system state. If you have any insights from this episode, email me anytime, and talk to you more soon! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Dr. Scott:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onebasehealth/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@troscriptions Website: https://drscottsherr.com/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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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. www.benso...

As I was editing this week's podcast episode, I accidentally deleted half of it and thought it was gone forever. At first, my heart sank, I was in shock, the blood drained from my face, and I literally said out loud, "Nooooooo!!!"I was ready to call it and my brain started quickly going through my options.As I went through my options, I paused and wanted to connect with my experience of this. I felt the sadness of these words I took the time to speak would be lost forever. I took a moment to grieve this. Giving myself space to feel and move through what was present, I noticed myself regulate. I was ready to choose the option of re-recording and trying to get this podcast out when I could. Then, my husband told me to give him ten minutes and he was able to find the lost content. The interesting thing was I had a mixture of emotions when he found it. I had already grieved what was lost and was getting excited about what I could say differently when I re-recorded and then also relief that these recording was recovered and I could move forward editing the rest and getting it out to you. This is what binge eating recovery can be like: a mixture of highs and lows of being so excited that the binge eating is decreasing and then grief at saying goodbye to something that has supported you for so long and grief at all the reasons that this food behavior came in to help you feel safe and protect you. In this week's episode: I read 3 different Binge Eating Reddit Stories I explore a trauma, somatic, nutritional, and nervous system perspective about what might support these individuals in their binge eatingI get into topics such as binge-restrict cycle, binge eating as a response to nervous system dysregulation, binge eating as a response to trauma, weight stigma, and body controlI offer explorations around binge eating that you might play with for yourself I hope you enjoy this episode and if there is ever a topic you would like me to explore on these Reading Reddit Stories episodes, email me and let me know! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport 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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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. www.benso...

Send a textKristin Ruud is the founder of Northern Classics, an outdoor clothing brand that blends timeless, elevated aesthetics with high-performance technical outerwear for kids. A University of Michigan business school graduate, Kristin's career took her through financial consulting, hedge fund management, and commercial construction before an entrepreneurial spark and three kids under one and a half during COVID led her to launch Northern Classics. In this episode, Kristin shares how she identified a gap in the children's ski apparel market: technical gear that was either purely functional or purely cute, but never both. Kristin opens up about the challenges of building a brand from scratch with no apparel background, the power of community and customer feedback, and what it's like to see her designs "in the wild" on the slopes out west. As a mom of four (twins almost 7, a 5-year-old, and a 3-year-old), Kristin brings both personal credibility and infectious joy to everything she creates.Notable Quotes:"I always say I'm selling — I am my own customer.""I try really hard to keep my kids at the forefront.

Something I've noticed in food recovery is that certain foods and meals become associated with dieting. Suddenly, you're afraid or feeling resistance to eating certain vegetables or fruits because these foods have been somatically connected to deprivation and restriction. Your body tenses, your breath gets shallow, you feel tight, and you hear an internal, "NO, don't eat that." You might find yourself questioning if you're on a diet if you choose the salad over the burger. The sensations attached to NO make it feel like eating these foods are "wrong." And when you do eat these foods, you feel panicked about if you're going to get enough, will you be satiated, does this mean you're back on a diet again, and on and on. A part of food recovery can be updating your body's story that all foods are safe but this is not only the foods you have labeled as "bad" but also the foods you used to diet with. In this week's episode, I chat with Bonnie Roney, Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, about: The illusion of control in dietingRebuilding trust with your bodyNavigating the hunger and fullness scaleThe importance of consistent eatingNuances to saying yes and no to foodsUnderstanding food choices beyond dietingVisualizing your life and finding your identity beyond dietsYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/making-empowered-food-choices-beyond-diet-cultureI really loved this conversation and you will walk away feeling a lot of relief in how to normalize all of your food decisions.With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Bonnie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diet.culture.rebel/ Website: https://dietculturerebel.com/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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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. www.benso...

In this episode, they break down everything: decoding the ticket matrix, hunting down hospitality packages on two separate platforms, navigating snowy switchbacks from Venice with skis on the roof, and what it's actually like to stand in the finish area for some of the most historic women's Alpine races in recent memory.The ski racing delivered in a big way! Federica Brignone won gold on home snow to a stadium full of tiger-suited superfans. Mikaela Shiffrin closed out the women's events with a gold in the slalom that had Nicole in tears. Paula Moltzan won the second run, finished eighth, and later handed out uterus pins in the center of Cortina.Start planning earlier than you think, use miles, go with another family to split costs, and bring really good shoes. Quotes:"I think it was a complete bucket list trip of a lifetime.

In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm sharing ten of my favorite underrated Disney songs from some of my favorite Disney movies. These may not be the biggest or most talked-about Disney hits, but they are the songs that truly mean the most to me. From the joyful energy of “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” to the emotional depth of “The Next Right Thing” and “God Help the Outcasts,” I'm diving into the songs that build the story, reveal the heart of the characters, and stay with us long after the credits roll. I even talk about getting to see “He Lives in You” and “One Jump Ahead” performed live on Broadway in New York, which made me love those songs even more. These are the hidden Disney gems that deserve so much more love — and I can't wait to share why they matter so much to me.SONGS MENTIONED...Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride from Lilo & StitchFrozen Heart from FrozenThe Next Right Thing from Frozen IIThe Gospel Truth 1/ Main Title from HerculesGod Help the Outcasts from The Hunchback of Notre DameHe Lives in You from The Lion King 2: Simba's PrideSon of Man from TarzanEvermore from Beauty and the Beast (Live Action)When We're Human from The Princess and the FrogOne Jump Ahead and the Reprise from AladdinWhat did you think of this episode?

Diets can be a reminder of what no can feel like. The issue occurs that over time a no somatically gets connected with deprivation and restriction. So when you really don't want to eat something, a no sends your body into a survival response. It can feel like you're not allowed to say no because now all you feel is tight, tense, and constricted. And then anti diet culture swoops in and tells you that you're allowed to eat and to eat everything and this can push you further away from listening to what would resonate most with you. What I find is missing from this process is updating your body that all responses are safe. Yes, no, and maybe. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Alexandra Gajer, founder of The Gajer Practice and board-certified physician, about: Her disillusionment with conventional medicineThe role of gut health in well beingSimplifying nutrition and movementThe overlooked crucial importance of sleepCreating evening rituals for better sleep Building habits that care for you and your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/simplifying-nutrition-and-movementEnjoy this week's episode and "see" you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Dr. Gajer: Website: https://thegajerpractice.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGajerPractice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegajerpractice/   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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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. www.benso...

We're revisiting one of our most meaningful conversations — with Olympic gold medalist, ski mom, and mental performance coach Barbara Cochran.Why now? On February 11, 1972, Barbara won Olympic gold in slalom in Sapporo by just .02 seconds. And 54 years to the day later, her son, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, won Olympic silver in Super-G in Cortina.An Olympic legacy — built on a Vermont rope tow.Barbara grew up skiing at her family's backyard hill, now known as Cochran's Ski Area — a nonprofit, community-driven mountain where lift tickets are still affordable, race training happens under the lights, and hot chocolate costs $1.50.We talk about:Growing up in a ski racing familyTraining on the legendary rope towThe “Cochran Way” philosophy of excellence without pressureRaising an Olympian as a single momAnd the mindset that wins medalsBarbara's father believed skiing should be joyful — but that striving for excellence builds character. Before sports psychology was mainstream, Barbara was practicing it. Heading into her Olympic race, she repeated:“I don't know if I'm going to win, but I know I'm capable of winning.”That mindset carried her to gold — and now informs her work helping athletes who “train better than they race” learn to compete with confidence.We also talk about the financial realities of ski racing, how Ryan nearly declined his U.S. Ski Team nomination due to cost, and Ski Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.  Located in Woburn & Framingham, MA and Tax-Free Salem, NH.

Every Saturday, my husband and I listen to a podcast that reads Reddit stories. For a long time, I have wanted to do something similar but with a focus on food and body image behaviors. I even set up a whole form for people to send in questions, but I got very few responses. So I decided to move forward on this anyway and find my own Reddit stories to read and share my thoughts on how I might support that person in their situation. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode: I read 3 different body image situations I discuss from a trauma, somatic, and nervous system perspective how I might respond to these indivdualsI get into topics such as weight stigma, past trauma, capitalism, and dieting generational traumaI share the wisdom in body image concerns and how to start to see them as protection Because this was a new kind of episode I'm testing out, there is no transcript to this week's episode.

In this episode Nicole talks with Jill Brabec, President of Nordic Combined USA, about one of the Olympics' oldest sports that still excludes women. Nordic Combined blends ski jumping and cross country skiing, requiring athletes to launch themselves down steep terrain at maximum speed, fly the length of a football field, then immediately race 5K on skinny skis. Despite being in the Olympics since 1924, women were denied entry to the 2026 Games. Jill, a Steamboat Springs ski mom turned advocate, formed a nonprofit with other parents to save the US team when funding collapsed. Her daughter Alexa trains in Norway but can't compete in the Olympics due to gender restrictions. The IOC will decide about 2030 inclusion this spring after reviewing 2026 data. Jill draws parallels to women's ski jumping, which faced identical arguments 15 years ago and is now successful. She encourages fans to watch men's Nordic Combined February 11, 17, and 19 to show viewership demand, sign the petition at nordiccombineusa.org, and follow athletes on social media. The sport features 17 World Cups for women who jump the same hills as men and train at Lake Placid, Park City, and Steamboat Springs. Families with adventurous kids can find programs starting at age 5-6 through the website.Website: nordiccombineusa.orgInstagram: @NordicCombinedUSANOTABLE QUOTES"It's really hard to see one sibling able to go to the Olympics and the other sibling not able tSki Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.  Located in Woburn & Framingham, MA and Tax-Free Salem, NH.

Over the past few years, I've become more interested in neurodiversity. I've had more people come to work with me navigating being on the ADHD or autism spectrums and telling me that intuitive eating didn't work for them. I saw that many of the bodily changes that can occur as a response to trauma can already be happening in someone's brain when in the spectrum of neurodiversity. This can include quicker shifts into activated or collapsed nervous system states, less dopamine and time spent in a safety, more energy utilized to socialize, navigate transitions and make decisions. This can show up with food as struggling to hear hunger and fullness cues, heightened sensitivity to texture, taste, or smells, sensory seeking with crunch or flavor, difficulties with planning, cooking, or remembering to eat.In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, clinical neuroscientist, nutrition researcher, autistic ADHDer, and author, about: ADHD and nutritionListening to your unique body's signalsUnderstanding sensory sensitivitiesThe role environment plays in food choicesThe connection between trauma and foodFinding balance in nutritionPractical meal prep strategiesYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/bioindividual-approach-to-nutrition-for-neurodiversity-and-adhdEnjoy this week's episode and reach out with any insights! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Dr. Miguel here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmiguelmateas/ Website: https://drmiguelmateas.comBook: ADHD Body and Mind https://amzn.to/4riUEjoSupport 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/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 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. www.benso...

In this episode Annie Fast, Oregon-based freelance writer and former professional snowboarder, joins the Ski Moms to discuss two critical barriers facing ski families: accessible childcare at resorts and mothers competing at elite levels. Annie's investigative work for Ski Area Management revealed a troubling trend of resort daycare closures post-COVID, including Vail's Small World, Jackson Hole, and Bridger Bowl facilities, while highlighting success stories at Mount Bachelor, Mount Hood Meadows, Brundage, and Tamarack with year-round programs. She explains why finding childcare information on resort websites is nearly impossible and how this impacts both visiting families and employee retention. Annie also previews her coverage of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, spotlighting Olympic moms competing with young children and the challenges of decentralized venues. The conversation covers practical advocacy tips for ski families, the reality of split-day skiing for toddlers, and why true "family-friendly" resorts must offer guest childcare. Keep up with the latest from Annie!Website: https://anniefast.contently.comInstaSHOP HEREUse Code SKIMOMS for 15% off all labels.
