Nourishing Women Podcast

What does it mean to come home to your body? To practice embodiment? Today on the show I want to talk to you about one of my favorite parts of helping women heal their relationship with their bodies, and that’s being IN your body. That’s why I love the concept of coming HOME to your body so much.    Because for most of us, our bodies are not our homes. They are something separate from us, something to control, something to perfect…and I’m on a mission to help you change that. Coming home to your body is a practice of embodiment. Listen to learn more about what exactly is embodiment and ways to come home to your body.   Today’s episode is also brought you to by Primally Pure. In the dead of winter, my skin gets so dry so I have personally been loving the beauty cream, the soothing serum and baby balm (I apply this directly to my eyes and dry spots). Before I apply these products I also use the facial dry brush, which has helped with reducing the overall dryness of my face too. If you’re new to Primally Pur

Remember, getting TOO hungry is only going to contribute to chaotic eating. We’ve talked about learning your body’s interoceptive cues, we talked about the hunger fullness scale on the show before, but we’ve never discussed specifically the 4 types of hunger. In today’s episode, we explore these types of hunger for you to explore in your int

Y’all know I’m not into the idea of things we put in or on our bodies as “toxic” BUT I do believe ingredients in our skincare can help support our skin health, just like how nourishing foods can positively impact our overall health. The reason I love the products is because my skin responds SO well to them.   In the dead of winter, my skin gets so dry so I have personally been loving the beauty cream, the soothing serum and baby balm (I apply this directly to my eyes and dry spots).

It’s 2022, we are here to release the shame and taboo around ALL conversations that surround women’s health, including sex education.

Today on the podcast, I’m sharing with you 10 easy ways to cope with a bad body image day. This will be a short and sweet episode, which is perfect, anytime you are having one of these days, a bonus step could be coming to listen to this episode to remind you how to navigate it. The truth is, bad body image days happen.   I find for a lot of my clients, they can happen when they are challenging food fears (and the discomfort of eating them makes their brain perceive they have suddenly gained loads of weight), when they are having a stressful day or week and just generally can occur when things in our life feel out of control. As sad as it is, most of us feel that our bodies and food are sometimes the only thing in our lives that we can control. We want to be compassionate with ourselves when we feel this way, but I also encourage you to not let these negative thoughts dictate your actions and how you treat yourself or feed yourself.

What does it REALLY mean to have peace with food and your body? Maybe it would help to explain first what doesn't feel like peace.   Because for myself, my clients, online course students and community- feeling peace has not always been your experience with your food, and as a result, your body. Maybe you’re even there right now. The fights you're having with your body.   The war between the two of you, almost as if your body was separate from you. You can’t get your body to do what you want. To be the size you want it to be. To be able to live off minimal carbs and excessive exercise. I remember thinking to myself, why does my body hate me so much?   And maybe you can relate to that. Maybe you’ve even had that thought yourself. That disconnection, that lack of TRUST in your body, means your always trying to control things.   Listen to today’s podcast episode to learn more, including how to make peace with food and your body!   Need more support for the holiday season?
