Podcast appearances and mentions of Taryn Brumfitt

Most people are focusing on how their bodies look, not how they feel—and it's holding them back.If you've ever declined an invitation because of how you felt about your body, avoided activities you love, or spent hours criticizing yourself in the mirror, this conversation is your wake-up call. In this episode, I sit down with Taryn Brumfitt, founder of the Body Image Movement and Australian of the Year 2023, to break down why embracing your body isn't just about feeling better—it's about living better.We're tackling the biggest misconceptions about body image—like why focusing on appearance keeps us stuck, why self-love isn't fluffy but foundational, and how body acceptance actually leads to healthier behaviors than body criticism. Plus, we're getting into practical strategies for handling body commentary from family members, maintaining progress when you have a "wobbly moment," and why taking up space as a woman is so revolutionary.Taryn Brumfitt is an Australian filmmaker, author, and speaker internationally renowned for her work in promoting body acceptance.

Taryn is an award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author and speaker on a mission to help people redefine the way they think about themselves and to end the global body-hating epidemic. She is best known for founding the Body Image Movement and her inspiring documentaries Embrace and Embrace Kids.

In this chat we get to talk about how it all started back in 2013, when Taryn posted a non-traditional before and after photo of herself that went viral. Her intention was to show some friends of hers that were struggling with their own body image, that even though she had reached her ‘perfect bikini body' through dieting and bodybuilding, she was actually happier when she let go of that extreme way of treating her body and learnt to embrace her body exactly as it was. What Taryn didn't know at the time was that the photo would go viral, reaching tens and tens of millions of people, leading to worldwide media attention and changing her life forever.  We hear about the deeply moving emails and messages that Taryn received from people all over the world sharing their own stories of body hatred and Taryn was determined to help these people and spread the message of self-love and body acceptance far and wide. Taryn has some wonderful tips in this episode for how you can begin to reframe the way you see yourself and start to focus on the way your body feels and what it can do for you, rather than simply your appearance. Taryn also shares what some of the pivotal moments along the way have been like - from winning Australian of the Year, to addressing the National Press Club in Canberra, and getting an invite to a State dinner at The White House with President Biden. This was a wonderful conversation with a brilliant woman who is doing such important work in the world.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the talented and inspiring Mel Wilson. Mel is a journalist, voice-over artist, podcast host and author of the new book, Parenting in Progress, which is full of stories and tips from all kinds of celebrities and experts - as Mel puts it, it's imperfect advice for the biggest role of your life. Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle, or none of the above, there's something in this chat for everyone. In this conversation, we hear how Mel juggled her career as a podcast host and voice-over artist with being a single parent to 2 young kids and still managed to write this book in the spare moments she could find on the sidelines of a soccer game, in the back of a taxi, or on a plane - she made every minute count.  We talk about parenting these days - how no one really knows what they're doing, everyone's just trying to figure it out, but the pressure to be perfect has increased so much that it's created these new ways of parenting, such as helicopter parents and snowplough parents. We talk about how much parenting has changed over the decades and Di also shares some funny stories of her own parenting mishaps.  Mel opens up about the challenges of being a single parent, what it was like trying to survive, make a living and raise her kids in Sydney, and how her own parents stepped in to help in really practical ways - you'll want to listen in to hear what her dad did, because it might make you cry.  Mel talks about what dating is like after divorce, and her own Over The Back Fence love story - it's such a goodie!  Mel also shares some of the wonderful stories from people like Amanda Keller, Turia Pitt, Taryn Brumfitt, Sarah Harris and Sam Wood, who are just some of the incredible people she interviewed for her book.  This was such a funny and down-to-earth conversation about what it's really like to parent and juggle it all and we loved having Mel in the studio with us. We hope you love it too.   Follow Mel on IG here  Buy Mel's book Parenting In Progress here Follow Nicola and Di on IG hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taryn Brumfitt is a body image activist, documentary director, writer, speaker, and the 2023 Australian Of The Year. Taryn created the documentary ‘Embrace' to help us change the way we think about our bodies and ‘Embrace Kids' to teach 9-14 year olds how to respect, move and nourish their bodies. Kids learn their first messages about food, movement and body image from their parents but parents can't control what messages their kids learn outside the home. This is where Body Blocks comes in: a free learning resource for childhood educators. In this moving conversation, Taryn joins Steph to discuss how Taryn has reframed the parts of her body that changed through childbirth and feeding 4,000 meals to her children, the impact that parents' and teachers' language can have on kids for years afterwards, and the importance of sending positive messages to kids even if you don't always feel them inside.

While Something To Talk About takes a break, we are revisiting some of the most emotional and revealing moments from the almost 50 guests who have joined us in conversation on this podcast over the past year.  This third episode of the Something To Talk About summer series finds us about to begin a new year - a time many of us pause to both look ahead to the future and reflect on the year that was, including grieving those we have lost and re-evaluating the dark times we have navigated. Amid the fireworks and celebrations, this can be an isolating time, so today we're revisiting some of the most raw and intimate conversations that have taken place on Something To Talk About. We begin with Chloe Lattanzi, who spoke to Something To Talk About ahead of the one-year anniversary of the death of her mother, Olivia Newton-John. It is a moving conversation about grief, as is our interview with Waleed Aly, who opens up about spending time with his mother-in-law in her final hours, and how it brought closure - particularly given he was unable to be with his own father when he passed a decade ago. We also hear from those who have grappled with - and chosen to be open about - struggles related to their mental health. Abbie Chatfield explains how her ADHD diagnosis brought new clarity and helped her better understand her behaviour, while Brooke Blurton reveals how a childhood that left her feeling like an outcast to the wider Australian community informs her passion to fight for representation for First Nations people.  Current Australian of the Year Taryn Brumfitt fires up about why accepting and celebrating our bodies is a decision we'll never regret, while Lisa Greenberg gives a searingly honest account of living with - and finally confronting - alcohol addiction.

In today's thought provoking episode, Dr Mary explores the current debate ignited by Taryn Brumfitt, 2023 Australian of the Year, around whether doctors should reconsider discussing weight during routine consultations with their patients. Dr Mary shares her unique perspective as a weight loss doctor focussed on metabolic healing rather than reducing the number on the scales. In a society plagued by a cultural obsession with thinness but ensnared in an insidious food environment fueling insulin resistance and obesity, Dr Mary weaves a compelling case for shifting our focus away from aesthetics and prioritising metabolic health. She recounts her own struggles with the dark cloud of body hatred as it followed her from childhood to recent years and how she has finally learned to love and appreciate her body, jiggly bits and all. You'll love listening to the impassioned Dr Mary changing the conversation around health and weight, as she navigates this complex topic with nuance and compassion. Learn how it's possible to embrace the body positivity movement while also advocating for metabolic health, with weight loss being a happy side effect, rather than the goal. This engaging episode invites you to join the dialogue around whether the topic of weight when visiting your doctor for other reasons is necessary or taboo.

Click here: DocSmart AI Teacher.Get the Outsmart Classroom. Click here.Welcome to this special ‘Critical Thinking' lesson program. I have decided to start a new series of lessons within the New Science of Physical Health platform.It is a really simple approach.  I love reading specific news articles, and watching specific YouTube videos about a range of different topics, some of which on the service level don't seem related to the new science of physical health.  So here is my approach with this new ‘critical thinking' lesson series. When I find a news article or a YouTube video that has a high level of interest for me I'm going to do a health lesson about that news article or video. That means at the time of recording this will be a very current or recent article or YouTube video that's come out. I'm going to examine what is talked about, in a range of different topics but I'm interested in. Here are some of the topics I'll be presenting in this critical thinking lessons series. It will be a mixture of news articles or YouTube videos.Health.Politics.Sports.Historical figures.Technology.Movies/TV seriesMusicSo if anything from that list interests you, stay tuned. I've got a lot of lessons to cover over the coming year.When we use critical thinking, we don't just accept things without questioning or thinking about them. Instead, we ask ourselves questions and look for evidence and good reasons before we believe something or make a decision.Here are a few key parts of critical thinking:Questioning: Critical thinkers like to ask lots of questions. They don't just believe something because someone says it's true. They ask themselves, "Why should I believe this?" or "Is there evidence to support this?"Analyzing: Critical thinkers examine things closely. They break down big problems or ideas into smaller parts and study them carefully. It's like being a detective, searching for clues to understand the whole picture.Evidence: Critical thinkers love evidence! They look for facts, data, or information that supports an idea. They want to know if there are good reasons behind what someone is saying or if it's just an opinion without any proof.Considering different perspectives: Critical thinkers try to see things from different angles. They understand that people have different opinions and experiences. So, they listen to others and try to understand why someone might think differently.Making informed decisions: Instead of making snap judgments or going with the first idea that comes to mind, critical thinkers take their time. They weigh the pros and cons, consider different options, and make choices based on careful thought and good reasoning.By developing critical thinking skills, we become better problem solvers, decision-makers, and learners. It helps us avoid being easily fooled by false information, and it allows us to think for ourselves and make choices that are well thought outLet's get started on the first lesson in this series, with a news article I read when I woke up this morning. “Doctors should avoid discussing patient's weight, Australian of the Year says.” By Amber Schultz Click here to read the article:https://www.smh.com.au/healthcare/doctors-should-avoid-discussing-patient-s-weight-australian-of-the-year-says-20230707-p5dmhv.html

They weigh the pros and cons, consider different options, and make choices based on careful thought and good reasoning.By developing critical thinking skills, we become better problem solvers, decision-makers, and learners. It helps us avoid being easily fooled by false information, and it allows us to think for ourselves and make choices that are well thought outLet's get started on the first lesson in this series, with a news article I read when I woke up this morning. “Doctors should avoid discussing patient's weight, Australian of the Year says.” By Amber SchultzClick here to read the article:https://www.smh.com.au/healthcare/doctors-should-avoid-discussing-patient-s-weight-australian-of-the-year-says-20230707-p5dmhv.html

A decade ago Taryn Brumfitt posted an unconventional before and after photo, which disrupted the diet industry, and since then, Taryn has created documentaries and programs to help women, children, and soon to be men, appreciate their bodies for what they can do, rather than what they look like. Taryn was recently awarded Australian of the Year, and through the criticism and backlash, she continues her mission, and brings her insight to The Wood Life. Then, we're tackling Winter wives tales… should you really ‘feed a cold, but starve a fever?' or ‘gargle salt water to cure a sore throat'? Does chicken soup really have healing properties? Sam unpacks the origin of these wives tales and how much truth, if any, there is to them. Have a question for Sam? Guest suggestion? Or some positive news to share?
