In this episode, I share my year and a half long experience with chronic pain in my hip. I share what it was like to deal with chronic pain and how it wore on me physically and mentally.
I offered what I had to transform in my thinking around my pain so I could accept my pain and be present to it.
And finally, I shared how chronic pain has been an amazing opportunity for me to treat my body with great love and respect.
Amy Gardner, certified eating disorder registered dietician and yoga teacher, is passionate about helping those with compulsive exercise heal their relationship with movement. On the podcast, Amy shares what compulsive exercise is and how to detect it, how important it is to reflect on whether exercise is additive or detractive to the quality of your life, and why moving toward exercise as a way to heal and create connection is a more positive approach (if available) than stopping exercise altogether.

Dacy Gillespie, owner of Mindful Closet, intuitively guides her clients to discover what they feel best in by helping them to let go of the external messages they’ve been given about what they should wear and get to the heart of what’s making them uncomfortable about their clothes. On the podcast, Dacy and I discuss the parallels between creating a mindful closet and intuitive eating, such as dropping external rules and using a somatic experience to determine what feels best. Dacy shares how having a mindful closet can be a warm welcome for those having a hard time accepting their “now” body and why it’s okay to grieve pieces in your closet before you let them go.
