“…every time we feel like we hit a dead end, that’s where the real growth happens.”

In today’s episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, we’re diving into the messy, unpredictable transitions that life throws at us—and how unraveling long-held beliefs about our bodies, food, and self-worth can lead to a deeper sense of freedom. I’m sharing some big updates: from the joy and chaos of welcoming a new puppy to the highs and lows of training for the Great World Race. But more than just personal stories, we’ll explore how these moments of change can help us challenge the ingrained ideas we’ve carried for years—particularly the toxic beliefs surrounding body image and perfection.

As we unravel these beliefs, we begin to see how life’s unpredictable moments can be opportunities for growth. Whether it’s falling behind on a goal, feeling overwhelmed by change, or managing the constant mess that comes with a new puppy, these experiences teach us that it’s okay to let go of control. Just like with body image and food, we’re not meant to have everything perfectly planned out.

You’ll hear how setbacks in my race training forced me to rethink my approach to progress and success. Instead of feeling discouraged by injuries and delays, I’ve learned that it’s not about perfection, but about showing up—even when things aren’t going as planned. This mirrors the journey of recovery from unhealthy body image, where every step forward, no matter how small, counts toward a bigger healing process.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How unraveling beliefs about body image can lead to greater freedom and self-acceptance
• Why life’s unpredictable transitions can be powerful tools for healing from diet culture
• The lessons I’ve learned through training setbacks, and how they parallel recovery from unhealthy body image
• Why letting go of perfection allows you to embrace life’s messiness and find joy in the journey

If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear how you’re navigating your own recovery journey. Don’t forget to subscribe for more episodes focused on breaking free from diet culture and embracing a healthy relationship with your body and life.

The post Unraveling Beliefs: Finding Joy in Messy Life Transitions appeared first on Mind-Body Eating Coaching.

In this episode, we’ll explore how you can fully enjoy summer, find joy in conquering some mountains, and embrace your ever-changing body with confidence.

Summer has finally arrived, and it’s time to soak up every moment. Picture yourself spending afternoons in the pool, creating beautiful memories with loved ones. Think back to your own childhood summers and the joy they brought. Now, it’s your turn to make new memories and enjoy the season to its fullest.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Summer Joys: How to create lasting memories and fully enjoy the season.
• Conquering Mountains: Tips for finding joy and motivation in outdoor exercise.
• Body Confidence: Practical advice for embracing your body at every stage.
• Reflecting on Growth: The importance of appreciating your journey and how far you’ve come.

Summer Joys

Imagine yourself feeling confident and happy as you enjoy the sunshine. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hiking up a mountain, or simply taking a walk in the park, this summer can be your time to shine. The warmth of the sun, the beauty of nature, and the freedom to wear what makes you feel good are all parts of this wonderful season.

Creating lasting memories with loved ones is one of the best parts of summer. Think about those special moments from your childhood – maybe it was playing in the park, having picnics, or simply enjoying the long days with friends and family. Now, you have the chance to create new, beautiful memories with your loved ones. It’s about being present, enjoying the simple pleasures, and appreciating the time you spend together.

Conquering Mountains

3 weeks ago, my Peloton broke. Yikes. After some mild tantrums, I had to shift my routine and start running outside. At first, I was frustrated. I loved my indoor runs and the consistency they brought. But this change turned out to be a blessing. Running outside, I felt a new sense of freedom and connection to nature. The fresh air, the changing scenery, and the challenges of outdoor terrain all added a new dimension to my workouts.

Outdoor exercise can be incredibly rewarding. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and helps you discover new strengths. Whether it’s running, hiking, biking, or even a simple walk, being outdoors can boost your mood and your fitness. You might find that you enjoy the process of conquering hills and trails, and this can translate into a sense of accomplishment and confidence in other areas of your life.

Body Confidence

Body confidence is about embracing your body as it is right now. It’s about understanding that your body will change over time, and that’s perfectly okay. Summer, with its lighter clothing and more skin on show, can bring up insecurities. But it’s also an opportunity to practice self-love and acceptance.

Think about the gratitude you can feel for your body. It allows you to experience life, to move, to feel, to connect with others. Every change, every mark, every curve tells a story of where you’ve been and what you’ve overcome. Embrace those stories. Embrace the strength and resilience your body represents.

Reflecting on Growth

Reflecting on your journey is a powerful tool. Look back at how far you’ve come. Maybe you’ve faced challenges with body image, with health, with confidence. Recognize your growth and give yourself credit for the progress you’ve made.

Reflecting also helps you set new goals. What do you want to achieve this summer? How do you want to feel? What new experiences do you want to try? Setting intentions can help you stay focused and motivated.

Join me in this episode to explore how you can make the most of summer, embrace self-acceptance, and conquer new challenges. If you’re ready to stop battling food and your body, this episode is for you. Tune in for inspiration and practical advice to help you live the life you’ve always wanted.

The post Breaking (Internal) Barriers and Creating Change appeared first on Mind-Body Eating Coaching.

Do you ever feel like your self-worth is tied to what others think of you?

Self-worth is a journey that starts within but is often influenced by external factors.

My son and I just spent 3 days in Northern Italy learning how to ski.

While it wasn’t my first time standing on skis, I hadn’t skied down any slope in over 20 years. The more I familiarized myself with the ins and outs of this snow sport, the more I recognized all the lessons that learning how to ski holds when it comes to self-love and body image. Why?

Find out in this latest episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast.

In this episode I share:

• • Why the ski slope is a perfect metaphor for the personal journey toward embracing our body image and practicing self-love
  • How skiing is an exercise in vulnerability
  • The importance of patience and self-compassion when learning something new
  • How to find joy in every moment, even and especially when you heal your body image
  • And many more lessons about the impact of (re-)learning this skill has on leadership and personal growth

You know that the journey towards body positivity and self-love is complex and multifaceted. It requires us to embrace our vulnerabilities, practice patience and kindness towards ourselves, and find joy in our personal growth. Learning to ski taught me that every fall is an opportunity to rise stronger and that the true joy lies in the journey, not just the destination.

As you walk the path of learning to accept yourself for who you are, remember to be gentle with yourself, to embrace each fall as a lesson, and to cherish the beautiful, exhilarating journey of becoming your most authentic self. Because you are worth it!

The post What Learning How to Ski Taught Me About Body Image and Self-Love appeared first on Mind-Body Eating Coaching.

In this episode of Escape Diet Prison, I delve into the intricate world of emotional eating. It’s a topic that touches many of you, often shrouded in confusion and misunderstanding. Today, I explore this further, shedding light on what it is, its triggers, the brain’s role, and most importantly, how you can manage it effectively.

What is Emotional Eating?

Emotional eating is when we use food as a way to manage or suppress our emotions. It’s not about hunger; it’s about responding to feelings. Whether it’s stress, boredom, sadness, or even joy, emotional eating is our psychological response to these states, often leading us to seek comfort in food.

Triggers of Emotional Eating

Stress is a major player here, especially evident during challenging. Emotional eating can also surge during holidays and seasonal changes, as these periods can be filled with a mix of stress and celebratory emotions.

The Brain and Food Connection

Fascinating research shows that emotional eating is linked to how our brain reacts to food. Emotional eaters often experience increased activity in brain areas associated with emotional processing and reward, such as the insula and amygdala. This heightened response can make certain foods feel almost irresistible during emotional upheavals.

Effective Tools to Manage Emotional Food Cravings

• Mindfulness: Being present and acknowledging cravings without judgment.
• Physical Activities: Engaging in exercise or hobbies that divert attention from emotional cravings.
• Journaling: Writing down thoughts and feelings to understand and manage emotions better.
• Emotional Support: Seeking support from friends, family, or professionals.

Next Steps

1. Identify Your Triggers: Understanding what drives your emotional eating is crucial.
2. Develop Healthier Coping Mechanisms: Find activities that can replace the urge to eat when emotional.
3. Practice Mindful Eating: Eat slowly and without distraction, and learn to differentiate between physical hunger and emotional cravings.

Emotional eating is a complex issue that intertwines our psychological state with our eating habits. It’s essential to recognize that overcoming it goes beyond simple willpower. With awareness, understanding, and the right strategies, it’s possible to develop a healthier relationship with food and our emotions.

The post A Dark Night of the Soul – And Where Do We Go From Here?! appeared first on Mind-Body Eating Coaching.

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, I share 5 steps to incorporate self-care into your life and embrace yourself on a whole new level.

When I first began taking the concept of self-care really seriously, it felt quite uncomfortable to me.

How would I be able to take care of myself in a way that was actually nurturing instead of destructive? How could I be kind and loving to myself instead of feeling hateful and ashamed? How could I ever feel at home in my body and soul when all I wanted was to be someone I was not?

I didn’t know the answers but I knew that I needed self-care big time. I was drowning in my guilt and shame and I knew that turning around my view of self-care was essential for me in order to pave a path to more self-love and to a healthier life. So, slowly, step by step, I dipped my toes into the practice of self-care and with it, I began to recover from an almost life-long battle with self-esteem and self-kindness.

Over the years, I learned that taking care of myself was an ongoing practice, but that I didn’t have to put myself into a box (you probably know how much I hate being “imprisoned” in systems) in order to succeed at continuously making sure that I was looking after my needs.

I created a framework for self-love that is not only super flexible but also super effective and today, I’d love to share this framework with you.

Here are 5 steps to incorporating the practice of self-care into your life.

Commit to Self-Care

The first step towards any change is always commitment. A really, effin’ big commitment. A daily commitment, in fact.

You need to make a pact with yourself, promising yourself to do what it takes to take care of YOU.

Now, to be totally transparent, I had to renew this promise many times as I slipped and fell, but with each renewal, my resolve grew.

So, commit to your healing, commit to your self-care, commit to your life. Every single day.

Touch

Don’t be afraid of touching your body. When we lack self-esteem, feel big and too much, we often have no idea where our boundaries are. The more we touch, the more we’ll know where we begin and where we stop.

This creates an unmeasurable level of self-awareness and it also elevates your relationship with your body and weight. You can’t continue to live in your head, but truly need to drop into your body more and more.

Touch will do that for you.

Let go

Part of my self-care practice was to let go of many thoughts, concepts, “realities”, dreams, and people in order to gain life, energy and joy.

I let go of toxic friends who were constantly talking about diets and weight loss. I let go of Facebook pages because of the constant bombardment with “positive thinking” without any research or actual tools behind their words.

Over time, I began to say goodbye to the dream of being someone else, someone my parents wanted me to be (aka. a doctor or a CEO, someone who was suuuuper successful in society’s eyes). I released the desire inside of staying a little kid without female curves or responsibilities of an adult and instead began to take ownership over my life and my heart’s longings.

Letting go, saying goodbye, and decluttering is a big process on the way to cultivating a rock-solid and life-affirming self-care practice. If you do it consciously and courageously, you’ll take huge leaps forward and live a kind of freedom that you may now only dream of.

Use your senses

Walk barefoot and feel the blades of grass touching your feet. Use essential oils and make it a game to become aware of all the nuances in the scent. Feel the rain or the sun kiss your skin. What do you notice? What does it feel like? Massage your hands when you’re at work. Stretch when you get out of bed and allow your body to greet your soul. Close your eyes and listen to the world’s sounds with all of the most incredible details.

The possibilities are endless here.

By using your senses, you drop into your body, which grounds you when you feel flighty and anxious.

Honesty for Self-Care

That is probably the biggest, most scary self-care practice I started and still commit to: brutal honesty with myself. I lied so much when I was caught in the traps of my eating disorder and had zero self-esteem. I lied and cheated and lied some more: to myself, to others, to everyone who threatened to take away my identity of being a sick person.

And even when I began to take my life in my own hands, I still lied. I lied because I was ashamed and the crazy thing is that the more I lied, the more I hurt myself. Lying feels so easy, doesn’t it? But admitting and telling the truth is hard. However, the moment I was really honest with myself, things began to shift. I got help, I accepted support, I began to see that I had to change my ways but that I didn’t have to face this struggle alone.

Honesty is a profound practice that uplifts your life and takes away the shame and fear we often feel.

My journey to cultivating self-love, true, solid self-love, is not over yet. As a Martha Beck Life Coach, I learned to use my body as a compass for walking towards my North Star. That way, my body guides me in making life’s decisions, a level of self-care I never could’ve dreamt of when I was struggling with my inner demons.

The most important lesson I learned while cultivating self-care and choosing life was the truth that our body is so wise. She is wise beyond your mind’s imagination and she knows your truth. Don’t destroy her, learn to love her, trust her, take care of her. One step at a time.

The post 5 steps to radical self-care: a framework for self-love appeared first on Mind-Body Eating Coaching.

The Covid-19 pandemic has the world holding our collective breath and has given birth to a tremendous amount of inner turmoil. Many of my clients talk about waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks, experiencing major headaches and a general feeling of unease.

There’s the pain of the current situation, but also the fear of the future.

• When is this horror going to end?
• How are our lives ever go back to normal?
• Will I stay healthy or will a loved one be infected?
• What if my gym will stay closed for another for months?
• What’s going to happen after all of this?
• Can I ever go back to work again?
• Will my kid return to school this term?
• When will I see my friends again? My grandma? My sister?

These are just some of the questions we ask ourselves and create major (mostly painful) stories around; an endless loop of negative thoughts that keep us stuck in fear.

I love the dream of past and future. They seem so real. – Byron Katie

Yes, this is an extreme time. Yes, we are afraid. Yes, the future is uncertain.

But it’s never been any different.

In essence, nothing’s changed.

We’ve never been guaranteed a tomorrow or even a life in an hour. Life is uncertain in its essence – whether there’s a pandemic or not.

The worry about the future, the constant creation of horror scenarios inside your mind, the hopelessness and inner terror will not create the outcome you desire and will not change a thing about what is currently happening.

Instead of worrying, begin to allow yourself to be in the present, relax and create the grounds for power and aligned action. How? This is what I talk about in the podcast!
