Weight gain has been demonized by diet culture, that much is clear. 

Which makes it hard to heal your body image, especially if you've regained weight as you have been healing your relationship with food. 

Given body diversity is normal and we are not all meant to be thin, this can be normal and a part of the healing process. 

But what happens when you keep gaining and gaining weight? How do you know when it is part of healing or part of an issue? 

And more importantly, if it is a result of an unhealthy reason, what is the solution? [hint: its still not dieting!]

I recently wrote a post on instagram addressing this topic and while many appreciated the nuance I shared, others were upset by it. 

Which is why I’m answering the questions of: Is my weight gain healthy or unhealthy? In today’s podcast episode. Because these conversations should not be shoved under the rug. I don’t believe in denial but rather having understanding and awareness through the lens of self compassion to know how to take care of yourself and when to reach out for support 

In this episode, we cover: 

• Why we shouldn’t ignore weight entirely 

• Signs of healthy and unhealthy weight loss

• Why you can’t assume you know someone’s health status based on how they look

• Signs of healthy and unhealthy weight gain

• Why it’s okay to question weight gain and why its not fatphobic to do so

• Responses to instagram comments who were triggered by this topic and why it's important to not avoid these conversations

I answer every one of these questions [and more] in this episode!

We cover: 

• How to assess if you’re ready to discuss and implement nutrition 

• Where your resistance to nutrition is coming from and how to overcome it

• How to spot and differentiate between helpful and harmful nutrition advice

• Where to start when learning to eat more nutritiously 

• How to know when a food choice is ‘healthy’ and when is saying ‘no’ to a fun food a healthy or unhealthy choice.

Living with an inner critic in your mind that relentlessly makes you feel bad about your body.. 

That tells you how ‘bad’ you are for eating a slice of cake… 

That convinces you that you're weak, a failure, and not enough - is EXHAUSTING! 

But what if the way to rid yourself of these mean thoughts wasn’t to focus on actually getting rid of them? 

Because so far, that hasn’t worked. It’s only causing you to get more frustrated with yourself. 

What if the answer was not to fight these mean thoughts, but to lean in to them? 

In this podcast episode, licensed therapist Robin Gutman, shares with us a revolutionary therapy approach to heal your body image and relationship with food that will help you drop the fight with your mean thoughts and heal in a way that is kind, compassionate, and realistic. 

In this episode we cover: 

• What is the Internal Family Systems approach and how can it help you heal from negative body image, food rules, and binging. 

• What your mind sounds like when you binge (you’ll want to hear this!!)

• How your negative thoughts and inner bully have become protective mechanisms (and why they are so hard to let go of, even when it's making you miserable)

• How to let go of these maladaptive protective mechanisms so you can live at peace with yourself, with food, and your body.

The sooner you focus on the RIGHT things to build your business and work with dream clients, the sooner you’ll achieve that goal and live out your vision of success. 

Looking back, when I began my entrepreneur journey, I stalled my own success because I was focusing on the wrong things. Things I thought were important but actually weren’t. 

As soon as I understood what actually matters in building a successful business and took action in that direction, I signed on dream clients, created and fully booked programs and scaled my business to have the time and location freedom I now have. 

In this episode, I share with you the 3 things I would do differently, knowing what I know now, to accelerate that success - so that you achieve it faster!  

In this episode we cover: 

• Why you don’t need to waste time creating a website (and what to use instead!)

• The type of content you actually need to be creating to attract your ideal client 

• One big mistake to avoid that will cause you to lose clients

• Why mindset should be your #1 priority to build a successful business

When I shared a video of me cruising in my car, jamming to music, and expressing how thankful I am that I faced my fear of driving and am now able to relax and enjoy the ride - I did not expect to have people asking me how I overcame my fear of driving!

Do you feel like you are ‘good’ all week, even month, and then your period comes along and RUINS it all with intense cravings that send you spiraling into a binge and shame fest? 

One thing I WISH I knew years ago was that period cravings are NORMAL. 

It's so sad that as women diet culture conditions us to believe that all we need is more "willpower" to beat period cravings.. or to eat some frozen grapes instead??? (um, how are we even comparing grapes to a big ol' bowl of trix? Do ya think my taste buds are dumb?!). 

It is this exact mindset that causes the period binges, {first_name}!

Now, while period cravings are normal, and you’ll understand WHY in this podcast episode… Binges are not. 

When you understand WHY you have cravings and how to honor them so that you don't spiral into chaotic eating and feeling even worse than you already are (periods are not fun to begin with!).. it is so empowering to then give your body what it needs without guilt or fear. 

Which is why I'm excited to bring back one of the most popular episodes on the podcast (and one of my personal favorite interview!!) with hormone specialist and Registered Dietitian Amanda Montalvo.

In this episode we cover:

• understanding your hormonal changes at every part of your period cycle 

• WHY you have cravings, specifically carbs (yes, there is a physiological REASON)

• how to identify a hormonal imbalance (what's normal and what's not) and what to do about it

• Reasons you are binge eating on your period (it's not because of your period) and how to break free of this cycle

I had a Youtuber make a hate video about me and my account to his 60K+ subscribers. 

People have said to me “I don’t get why so many people follow you.”

A family member told me I’m not a ‘real’ dietitian if I’m not helping people lose weight. 

If you’re scared people will not value your work as an Intuitive Eating Dietitian, I’m gonna shoot straight with ya - you’re right. 

That’s no reason to hold yourself back from showing up and doing this life changing work you were meant to do! 

Don’t let people in the cheap seats have an expensive opinion on your life and determine your value for you! 

If you struggle with feeling enough as a Food Freedom Professional. 

If you doubt yourself and your ability. 

If you fear being judged. 

This podcast episode is for you. 

I share with you how I overcame my own fears of other people’s opinions and how I address criticism, such as the ones I shared with you above. And more importantly, how you can get out of your own way, build your confidence and show up fully so you can change lives and build the practice and life of your dreams! 

In this episode we cover: 

• The real reasons you struggle with being judged as a Food Freedom Professional & how to address the fear at its root

• How I addressed criticism given to me as an Intuitive Eating Dietitian 

• What you actually need to feel confident in yourself and show up in the face of judgment!
