Podcasts about this messy magnificent life

Sometimes in life we get the chance to experience a mountaintop moment, and that's exactly what happened when I chatted with the brilliant Geneen Roth this week. Geneen wrote the landmark book Women, Food, and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything, which came out in 2010, nearly 15 years ago. A huge fan of this groundbreaking work? None other than Oprah Winfrey, so if it's good enough for Oprah, it's good enough for me. At its core, one of the central messages in Women, Food, and God is this: we often eat to fill a void or a hole for something other than food. Anytime we eat when we're not physically hungry — so, think emotional eating — we are hungry for something other than food. We are seeking nourishment from food to fill a lack of nourishment in another area of our lives. The good news, as Geneen and I discuss in today's episode? This is fixable! I am living proof, as I used to struggle with this but don't to the same degree anymore. I will probably always struggle with this to an extent, but reading Geneen's book (which I cried while reading!) ushered in a new chapter of my life where my issues with food didn't run the show. Geneen has candidly admitted that she has had food issues in the past, too, going back to age five or six. Her first diet began when she was just 11. I relate to this so much, as it was the same story for me. If you have ever eaten to fulfill an unmet need elsewhere, this conversation is for you. We must ask ourselves, Geneen writes, “What do I really want?” One's relationship with food is often directly correlated to one's relationship with themselves, and food is a mirror for how well we feel nourished in our lives. Today, Geneen helps us take the first step with an intention to heal a poor relationship with food; talks to us about why diet and restriction are not the answer to solving this issue; and shares what she's learned after the massive global reception to this book. This is by no means the only book Geneen has written, but Women, Food, and God is what we're zooming in on today. In fact, Geneen has written 10 books, and I was excited to hear her say on this episode that she's working on a new book! In addition to Women, Food, and God, Geneen has also written This Messy Magnificent Life, When Food Is Love, Breaking Free from Emotional Eating, Lost and Found, and many others. Over the past 40 years, she has helped thousands of people through her workshops and retreats and has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, The Today Show, 20/20, and The View. Geneen's books were some of the first to link compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that transcend food, weight, and body image. She believes, as I do, that the way to transform our relationship with food and our body is to be kind to ourselves, not punishing. Take a listen to our conversation.

For women, one of the biggest battles we fight is with the size of our bodies. Parents, media and society as a whole have conditioned us to believe that our bodies are wrong. Cue the deep-rooted lack of kindness towards ourselves, the spiral of suffering, the fraught relationship with food, and an endless pursuit of physical perfection. Every food choice we make - whether it's healthy or unhealthy - is run by our relationship with ourselves. Each bite falls into one of two categories. We're either confirming that we're not enough or we're affirming that we are enough. We might not even know it, but how we eat and what we eat goes back to the painful conclusions we made about ourselves in our formative years. What is the gateway to form a loving relationship with ourselves and food? How do we start befriending our bodies instead of battling them? In this episode, we're joined by multiple New York Times bestselling author, Geneen Roth. We talk about how to change our relationship with food by going back to where it all began. One's relationship with food is an outpicturing or expression of how you feel about yourself. -Geneen Roth   Things You'll Learn In This Episode -The battle between food and self One's relationship with food is an expression of how you feel about yourself. What are the food rules we're following without even realizing we're following them? What are they connected to?  -How to stop holding ourselves to awful standards  As women, we're taught to evaluate ourselves from the outside. How do we start with our inner landscape instead? -When you're present, nothing is wrong Resistance to what's happening right now creates suffering. How can the question “If I had orchestrated this, what would I have wanted to learn” help us?    Guest Bio Geneen Roth is the author of ten books, including her newest, This Messy Magnificent Life, and New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love, Lost and Found, and Women Food and God, as well as The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It.

She lives in California with charms of hummingbirds; her husband Matt; and Izzy the fabulous, eating-disordered dog. Geneen Roth's pioneering books were among the first to link compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that go far beyond food, weight and body image. Rather than pushing away the "crazy" things we do, Geneen's work proceeds with the conviction that our actions and beliefs make exquisite sense, and that the way to transform our relationship with food, our body, and so much more in our life is to be open, curious and kind with ourselves -- instead of punishing, impatient and harsh.

When I stopped dieting, I stopped binging.”  “In everything single thing we do in our lives—not just with food—we are acting out and expressing what we believe.” “What the relationship with food allows you to do is see the relationship you have with yourself.” “Part of the process is finding what truly nurtures you..”    For over thirty years, Geneen has worked with hundreds of thousands of people, helping them transform difficult relationships with food and so much more. Her pioneering approach outlines the link between compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that go far beyond food, weight and body image. She believes that we eat the way we live, and that our relationship to food, money, love is a reflection of our deepest held beliefs about ourselves and the amount of joy, abundance, pain, scarcity we believe we have (or are allowed to have) in our lives.

Using meditation, inquiry, and a set of seven "if love could speak" guidelines, she offers a pathway to transforming our relationship to food … and so much more.

"From the beginning, Geneen Roth was told she was too sensitive, too emotional, too curious, too demanding, too intense, and too big. Yet gaining and losing weight for decades did not improve her self-worth or reduce other people’s criticisms. Like most women who struggle with their weight, she believed that if she could resolve what seemed to be the source of her self-hatred—how and what she ate—she would be thin, happy, and free. That belief, she discovered, was false."

Geneen Roth is a New York Times bestselling author of books like When Food Is Love and Women Food and God, has taught groundbreaking workshops for over 30 years, been featured on Oprah, 20/20, the Today show, Good Morning America, The View and beyond. Her latest book, This Messy Magnificent Life, invites us to stand in our own imperfection, to allow space to feel loved and whole and good, and reclaim a sense of agency and expansion over our bodies, lives, relationships and power at a time when too many feel a lack of control and contraction. This “Best Of,” is a powerful prompt to explore how to move beyond our past to build lives that reflect our inherent power in the year that awaits us.You can find Geneen Roth at: Website | Instagram | FacebookCheck out our offerings & partners: Sleep Number: Discover proven quality sleep.

Her book Women Food and God was life-changing for me and it had a huge effect over me being able to overcome emotional eating and my battles with food and body.

Today we discuss how to free yourself from the personal prisons that are disempowering you.   Freedom - we all want it, right? In fact, we live in a nation that prides itself on being free. But are you really free, or are you a prisoner of your own thoughts, fears, and doubts? The mind is either the cause of our bondage or the cause of our liberation. So, if you're thinking in ways that are disempowering to you, then you're actually releasing chemicals in your body that are supporting those thoughts time and time again. The good news is, you have control over your thoughts, and by acknowledging them you can learn to shift your focus and remove yourself from any kind of a prison that you’ve put yourself in. My first guest, Lee McCormick, has been a creative force in the Mental Health and Recovery scene for over 20 years. He joins me today to discuss taking responsibility for how we respond to our thoughts and why identifying ourselves by our thoughts can create conflict in our lives. Lee also shares the distinct differences of living from a role-centered life versus a soul-centered life. My second guest, Geneen Roth, is the author of ten books, including the just-released This Messy Magnificent Life and New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love, Lost and Found, and Women Food and God. She joins me today to discuss the relationship we have with ourselves and how we can disengage the voice of our inner critic that tends to hold us back from happiness and success.   We Discuss: Why many people live with a sense of false pride that keeps them stuck and full of regret in life How we can get ourselves out of the personal prisons we've subconsciously put ourselves in The impact that disempowering thoughts have on our lives and how we can shift them Why we search for our identity in labels and how they can change our perception of reality How identifying ourselves by our thoughts can create conflict and suffering in our lives Taking responsibility for how we respond to our thoughts rather than allowing them to control us The major differences between living from a role-centered life as opposed to a soul-centered life   Visit:  VoicesofCourage.us

This Messy Magnificent Life explores the personal beliefs, hidden traumas, and social pressures that shape not just women’s feelings about their bodies but also their confidence, choices, and relationships. After years of teaching retreats and workshops on weight, money, and other obsessions, Roth realized that there was a connection that held her students   captive in their unhappiness. With laugh-out-loud humor, compassion, and dead-on insight she reveals the paradoxes in our beliefs and shows how to move beyond our past to build lives that reflect our singularity and inherent power.

Having that awareness of “the pinhole in my soul,” prompted me to take out my “Soul Shovel, and dig, dig, dig until there was only truth.”® We all have moments of truth. For world renowned, New York Times Bestselling author Geneen Roth, her “soul shovel” uncovered that her relationship with food spilled into every aspect of her life. Geneen will share why she wrote her latest book, “This Messy Magnificent Life, A Field Guide to Mind, Body, and Soul” and teach us how to release daily anxiety, lack, self-criticism, and discontentment so we can find spaciousness, peace, and the capacity to reclaim our power and joy.

Geneen Roth has spent more than three decades studying, teaching, and writing about our compulsions with food. She is the author of ten books, including her newest book, This Messy Magnificent Life, and the New York Times bestseller Women Food and God (if you haven’t read this one yet, run don’t walk to your local bookstore — it’s a game-changer). She’s also appeared on a bunch of television shows including Super Soul Sunday, The Oprah Show, 20/20, The NBC Nightly News, The View, The Today Show, and Good Morning America, and her writing has been featured in publications across the globe. Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/163 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes. Geneen was one of the first to realise that compulsive eating and perpetual dieting went a whole lot deeper than just food and weight. Her work is about looking deeper — to the underlying personal and spiritual beliefs that shape and define us — in order to gently transform our relationship with what we eat and how we feel in our own skin. It’s a revolutionary way to reframe these common struggles, and if — like me — you’ve personally experienced these issues, I’m betting you’re going to feel a HUGE sigh of relief listening to her powerful insights and strategies for ending the cycle and finding inner peace. So if you want to liberate yourself from the tyranny of food obsession, discover healthy ways to process and deal with emotions, and find a way home to your true self, pop in those earbuds, beautiful… this episode’s for you. In this episode we chat about: Her story about how she got to where she is today and the amazing work she does now (06:07) How do you really perceive your body? (11:22) How to heal your relationship with your body and food (16:24) Why it’s so important to develop healthy techniques to self soothe (and her top tips for learning this essential skill) (20:07) Her powerful process to master your negative thoughts about how you look and what you eat (25:21) The simple eating guidelines that will keep you well and free you from ‘food fear’ (31:40) How to upgrade your food beliefs and live them every day (without falling back into old habits) (33:53) How to quit dieting and liberate yourself from food obsession forever (36:51) Finding more joy in your daily life (41:53) Plus so much more!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As we wrap up the year we thought it would be fun to celebrate our favorite things from the 5 life categories of faith, family, fitness, fun, and finances. 2018 has been an incredible year and rather than dwell on goals that we didn’t accomplish we prefer to celebrate what we did accomplish as well as reflect on our favorites from the 5 F categories. Listen to this episode to hear our favorite things including some excellent recommendations in the areas of faith, family, fitness, fun, and finances. Outline of This Episode [2:12] Favorites from faith [10:36] How have we transformed our relationship [20:16] Our house has been a fun transformation for us [22:44] Consistency has been key [25:09] Travel is our fun [28:37] Investment reading [32:36] Accomplishments Our favorite books about faith and personal development I love using Audible to listen to audiobooks. I can listen to books anywhere and anytime, plus it makes commutes and road trips more fun. Some of my favorites this year were Girl, Wash Your Face, This Messy Magnificent Life, and Women, Food, and God. Although some were written with women in mind they apply to everyone. Justin’s favorites were a bit more sciencey - he enjoyed reading Peak Performance, The Leading Brain, and Willpower Doesn’t Work. Check out the links in the resources section. What were your favorite faith and personal development books this year? How have we transformed our relationship We believe in using couples therapy as a preventative measure. Since we have coaches for many other areas of our lives, why wouldn’t we want a coach to help us make the most of our relationship? Another thing that has really helped us reach our relationship goals was a couples connection course that we took. The course helped us set goals by encouraging us to write them down and share them. It is so important, even with busy lives, to take time to step back and put our goals and dreams down on paper. This helps to gain clarity and really get intentional about goal setting. Do you set relationship goals with your partner? Fitness goals aren’t always about losing weight Everyone thinks that fitness goals have to be a big deal. But sometimes we enter into a season of life where just maintaining consistency can be the goal. With a big move under our belts this year, staying consistent in my workout schedule was a real commitment. Justin didn’t partake in an enormous exercise program either. But he made a goal to better his push-ups and he accomplished it. Sticking with an exercise plan can be a real accomplishment full of ups and downs. Achieving goals is rarely a linear progression. We celebrate our accomplishments There are plenty of things that we didn’t accomplish during 2018, but rather than dwell on them, we choose to celebrate what we did accomplish. We celebrate moving into a new house and making it a home. I started a new regimen to take care of my skin. And Justin began consulting, as well as a new venture with Pat Rigsby, and we started this podcast! How are you celebrating what you have accomplished this past year? Listen to this episode of The Transformation Show to hear our favorites from faith, family, fitness, fun, and finance from 2018.

I was first introduced to Geneen and her writing, when I read her book, Women Food and God. It was one of the first books I read about how what we eat is connected to our core beliefs. I have since consumed many of her books and one of the reasons why I am happy she was my guest. In this episode, Geneen and I talk about her newest book, the evolution of her relationship with food and some of our meditation failures. Plus, we talk all about the inner critic, which Geneen calls, “the crazy aunt in the attic,” and Geneen offers some ways to manage her.

Welcome to episode thirty-seven of the Honest Mamas Podcast! Today, we speak to Geneen Roth about her new book; This Messy Magnificent Life: A Field Guide and how to be more present in your own life. Geneen Roth's pioneering books were among the first to link compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that go far beyond food, weight, and body image. Rather than pushing away the "crazy" things we do, Geneen's work proceeds with the conviction that our actions and beliefs make exquisite sense, and that the way to transform our relationship with food, our body, and so much more in our life is to be open, curious and kind with ourselves—instead of punishing, impatient and harsh. Geneen’s work has now expanded to explore the territory beneath the culture we’ve built. After years of teaching workshops on weight, food, and money, Roth realized that there was a connection between these issues that held her students captive in their anxiety, lack, and discontent. Seeing herself as much a student as a guide, Roth uses revelations from her own life—both the horrific and comic—to examine this connection. Out of her own past struggles with feeling as if she would never fit into her own skin, much less in the world around her, Roth tackles how we can move beyond our pasts and build a life that reflects our singularity. Geneen Roth is the author of ten books, including the just-released This Messy Magnificent Life and New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love, Lost and Found, and Women Food and God, as well as The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It. Over the past thirty years, she has worked with thousands of people in her groundbreaking workshops and retreats and has appeared on numerous national shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, 20/20, the Today show, Good Morning America, and The View. She lives in California with charms of hummingbirds; her husband Matt; and Izzy the fabulous, eating-disordered dog.   What you’ll hear in this episode How Geneen began her path of working with food Why Geneen believes dieting doesn’t work The issues that women have with boundaries The need for mothers to take care of themselves so they can look after others better Better ways to guide our children to eating healthier foods Why we should be wary of constantly setting ourselves goals to achieve The meaning behind the chapter “The Ghost Children” How small changes within a family can have a bigger & wider social impact   Resources https://geneenroth.com https://retreats.geneenroth.com
