Weighing In On Happy

Spirituality isn't often talked about in conjunction with eating disorders but today's guest does an incredible job of bringing the two together and helping people heal their relationships with food through spiritual surrender. I have to admit I was never been much of a spiritual person, growing up in a family who loved medicine and science it was all considered a load of hoohoo; but recently I've been exploring my spirituality more and I was SO excited to sit down and explore the connection between food and the spirit more with the fabulous Grigoria Krtsotolis! Grigoria is a marketing consultant turned spiritual entrepreneur, business and mindset coach. She is dedicated to lifting the vibration of the earth by helping people uncover their true selves and reach their potential.  Today she joins me to talk about her own journey with food, how she too struggled with an eating disorder but by truly listening AND speaking to her own body she came out victorious. In this episode Grigoria and I discuss: How to

It starts out like a dirty little secret... but then it becomes so much more. Bulimia takes over your life with ruthless and intense power, it has the capability to destroy and devastate everything in its wake if left unchecked. I personally struggled with bulimia since age 12, which means that for over 10 years I had this debilitating disease before I sought the help that changed my life forever.  Despite so many people suffering from bulimia, we rarely talk about it which only furthers the shame and fuels the disease. Today on the podcast I talk with Amina Sutter, a Bulimia Recovery Coach from Switzerland who like myself suffered from bulimia for 10 years.  We speak candidly about our journey with bulimia which translates into incredible value, relatability, and inspiration! In this episode Amina and I discuss: first steps in bulimia recovery recovery versus healing overcoming our programming different types of binges how we conquered bulimia Plus much more!

Anxiety is so commonly talked about today that one might start to think that it is the new normal.  But anxiety is not something you should have to live with nor suffer through, it is, in fact, something that can be overcome.

Having battled through his own darkness and anxiety he now takes a scientific and spiritual based approach to guide and coach others to overcome their own anxiety.

For the majority of my life, my only goal was to be skinny and pretty. Society had told me that if I achieved these two things that I would be happy. But this was a lie, and I've had to go on a journey to discover what true happiness is and distinguish it from what society will try to convince you it is.

It isn't easy beating an eating disorder, it can become so ingrained in your life that you don't even know who you are without it. This is why it is so important to not only have support but also be surrounded by role models who have gone before you and can help show you the way. Cati Angela is one of those role models who on her popular Instagram account is known as @edrecoverygurl. Cati has become an inspiration for all those going through the recovery process, she is someone to look up to and take after. Today Cati and I have a conversation on recovery, we discuss: what we would have told our younger self in the early stages of developing an eating disorder the catalyst to know we were ready to get help in what ways our life has shifted for the better following recovery  what the first step is for those want to recover  Plus much more!

One of the key things that helped me in my journey was seeing that it was possible to be happier in my life in a larger body and that I could truly find freedom on the other side of recovery.  Social media which had been my enemy for a long time, having fallen into the compare and despair game, quickly became my savior as I sought out other accounts of women speaking about diet culture, educating on intuitive eating and looking so damn happy while simply living their life without restriction.  One of those accounts that changed my life was that of Rini Frey! Rini battled her eating disorder for over 12 years and made it her mission to share her experiences around intuitive eating, eating disorder recovery, and body image by creating the wildly popular online platform Own it Babe.  Today we have a conversation on food freedom as Rini and I discuss: factors that led to developing an eating disorder importance of community in recovery correlation between mental health and eating disorders&nbs

Some days it can seem like anxiety and stress is our default setting. From the moment we wake up in the morning until we go to sleep at night, our minds are racing from one thing to the next. There are numerous things we can do to help lower our anxiety and stress levels, one of the most effective is CBD Oil. CBD oil is changing the lives of those who try it, yet there is still a lot of misinformation about what it is and what it can do.

Self-pleasure can have a very negative connotation with it, especially as women. We tend to be disconnected from our bodies after years of being told to suppress how we feel which leads to being unable to harness our power as women.

Lauren is a sexuality and empowerment coach, feminine leader and the COO of The Institute of New Paradigm Intimacy - an advanced immersion into business and coaching for sex and relating.

We often want what we don't have because we think we'll be happier once we get it, but is that true?  My entire life I chased my "dream body" which for me meant a smaller body thus requiring weight loss.  Since this always alluded me I was truthfully resentful towards other petite women and as a result, I wouldn't be their friend. Over the years I have rewritten this once all-consuming narrative and today want to share with you how I circumnavigated it as well as what the same issue can feel like when you're on the other end of the body size spectrum. In this episode,  I have an open and honest conversation with my small and petite friend Taryn Raine on what life is ACTUALLY like being in a smaller body. We discuss: when struggles aren't being recognized due to body size the impact of size on emotional intelligence and maturity being seen as feminine and desirable how judgment and body shaming is holding us back Plus much more!
