Well and Weird

We’re back with another solo episode this week talking about a topic that I’m all jazzed up about right now: Exposure. Exposure can be looked at in two ways. First, looking at what we need to expose ourselves to in order to continue growing and healing (AKA facing our fears around food and our bodies). And second, looking at what we may be unintentionally exposing ourselves to that is holding us back in recovery.

This week I’m chatting with Dr. Kate Browne, and this interview is literally PACKED with her wisdom on body positivity, and specifically how we can find our place within the movement. We also talk about how she got into this work as a writer and educator, and her thoughts on how we can redefine fitness in our own lives. Hope you love this conversation as much as I did!

This week I’m coming at ya with a fresh solo episode, sharing what weird (and some real basic, if I’m being honest!) things I’ve been into lately. These are things that have been keeping me well, things that I’m looking forward to, things I’m trying for the first time, and things I’m tapping back into with fresh perspective. See below for a complete list of show notes! Because as you've probably heard me say one too many times, Self care is the foundation from which healing and recovery are buil

SO. FLIPPING. EXCITED. to bring you this episode. Pixie Turner is a nutritionist (ANutr) (MSc), award-winning food blogger, speaker, and content creator. And most recently well known for her book, The Wellness Rebel, which helps us sort nutrition fact from fiction. In this episode, Pixie and I dive deep into some of the most common and pervasive food myths surrounding foods like gluten and dairy, sugar and more.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I've  been feeling, and how I've been supporting myself through all the change that has already begun.  In this episode we talk about how self care often has to shift, and it's OK that it looks different than it once might've. We talk about the changing body, and learning to be OK with that, the things that have been helpful so far through this process, and what you can expect going forward with this podcast + in working with me in a coaching capacity.

We’re back for another media literacy episode, where we dive deep into a recent piece of media as it related to body acceptance, eating disorder recovery, and health (from a HAES perspective. This week we are digging into an article entitled “10 Simple Ways To Stop Craving Carbs All The Time,” sources from Mind Body Green. If you’re not sure why the idea of trying to resist or ignore our carb cravings (or our cravings in general) is problematic then you’ll definitely want to make sure to tune i

This episode is a loooooong time coming, and I couldn’t be more stoked to share it with you all. Kelsey Miller is a writer, author, editor and speaker based in BK, New York. She’s the founder of the Anti-Diet Project, author of the book Big Girl, and the forthcoming I'll Be There For You (which is now available for pre-order!), and an all-around staple in the world of body acceptance, Intuitive Eating, and non-diet living.

I truly believe that one of the most crucial, foundational parts of sustainable recovery is self care. But not just the bubble bath, self-pampering kind of self care (that’s all great, but…) I’m talking self care that is about tuning in to your needs, being with yourself for long enough to know how you need to be supported, and tapping into your senses in order to come back to the present moment.

In this week's episode I got to sit down with Minerva Siegel, AKA Spooky Fat Babe. Minerva is a plus size model, poet & writer who's been published both in print and online internationally. We discuss her relationship with food and her body, and how it has evolved to current day. We discuss her lens on self care, and how for her a large part of self care is shadow work. We talk about how her disabilities played a role in her being able to make peace with her body. And SO. MUCH. MORE. JUICY. STUFF.

This week we have another installment of my solo series where we hash through a recent article on 'health', dieting, food & disordered eating, and discuss the facts behind the bold claims being made. But this week is a little different. Rather than tearing through this week’s article, fact checking and debunking, I’m actually sharing a very important, much needed piece published by HuffPost. I wouldn’t normally share something in this way, but I think that just speaks to HOW vital this information

Not Plant Based was founded by Laura Dennison and is co-authored by Eve Simmons, both of whom have suffered with eating disorders. They are telling our stories to help others who have also suffered, or are continuing to, with troubled eating. They’re re-discovering happiness and contentment through exercise and by eating the food that they love (namely pasta, meat, potatoes, melted cheese and Kit Kats) in hope that you will too.

This summer I was offered the chance to be a part of GEMS, a local summer camp for girls excelling in math and science. And because of two local teachers’ awareness around how messages about having to ‘fix’ or change our bodies, so deeply impacts our ability to critically engage and excel in these STEAM areas, they asked us at Ophelia’s Place to kick off the camp with messages of body acceptance.
