Episode #77: A Guide to Trusting Your Body with Tara Whitney

For many folks, the idea of trusting their body feels foreign. We’ve been taught to prioritize external rules and dismiss information our body shares with us. We haven’t been taught how to celebrate or even honor the wisdom of our bodies. 

Yet, the lack of trust we have in our bodies is what makes us feel so out of control around food, emotionally eat, binge, and feel so dissatisfied with our bodies. 

I’ve designed my Trust Your Body Framework as a tool for folks that want to take steps toward feeling free and peaceful around food, accept their bodies and feel emotionally empowered. 

On the podcast, I share the components of the Trust Your Body Framework and how it may support you on your own journey.

She shares her unique approach from a meditation and Buddhist lens in her book “Eat to Love: A Mindful Guide to Transforming Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Life.” 

On the podcast, Jenna and I talked about how important it is to expand the intuitive eating community by expanding communication, access and additional ways of healing. Jenna talked about how important it is to get folks in the same room to share openly so they can hear they are not alone. Jenna also shared the opportunity men have with intuitive eating, which is a practice of being with emotions.

Episode #69: Accepting Your Whole Self with Anne Beverly Chow

Anne Beverly Chow, Therapist, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, tells her clients over and over that everyone is worthy of love, belonging and connection. She shares her own journey from going to Weight Watchers at the age of 9 to the awe and appreciation she now experiences when she’s listening to the signals her body shares with her. 

On the podcast, we talked about 

~ the history of dieting and how diet companies market to people’s fears and insecurities, 

~ how important it is to accept your whole self and welcome the parts of you that you want to run from, and 

~ how to examine your weight loss motivation by asking yourself the question “what if I lost weight and the rest of the world never saw my thinner body, would I still want to lose weight?”. 

One of the poem’s Anne read was: 

Friend, This is The Only Way by Sachal Sarmast 

Friend, this is the only way to learn the secret way:

Ignore the paths of others, even the saints' steep trails.

Don't follow.

Don't journey at all.

Rip the veil from your face..
