Welcome back!

This week, Olivia opens up to our community about one of the hardest moments in her personal life last year.

She also talks about the challenge of sharing personal anecdotes as a practitioner, how to recognise depression, and when to reach out for help.

It's an emotional one, so take care of yourself and see you next time.

Studies on Maslows Hierachy of Needs:

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a Guide for Living
Authors: Lester, D., Hvezda, J., Sullivan, S., & Plourde, R.
Publication: Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 1983

Summary:
This study explores how Maslow's hierarchy of needs can be applied as a guide for living a fulfilling life. It highlights the importance of satisfying lower-level needs (physiological and safety) before addressing higher-level psychological and self-fulfillment needs. The authors discuss how unmet basic needs can lead to mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression.

Link: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a Guide for Living

1. The Relationship Between Basic Needs and Psychological Well-Being

Study: "Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration and Their Implications for Well-Being in Older Adults"
Authors: Chen, B., Vansteenkiste, M., Beyers, W., Boone, L., Deci, E. L., Van der Kaap-Deeder, J., ... & Ryan, R. M.
Publication: Journal of Personality, 2015

Summary:
This study investigates the impact of satisfying basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) on well-being and mental health. It provides evidence that when these needs are frustrated, individuals experience lower well-being and higher levels of depression and anxiety.

Link: Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration

1. Social Support, Basic Needs, and Depression

Study: "The Role of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction in Explaining Depressive Symptoms: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective"
Authors: Wei, M., Shaffer, P. A., Young, S. K., & Zakalik, R. A.
Publication: Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2005

Summary:
This study examines how the satisfaction of basic psychological needs influences depressive symptoms. It suggests that unmet basic needs, such as those for safety and social connections, are closely linked to increased depressive symptoms. The study also emphasizes the role of social support in mitigating these effects.

Our advice for protecting ourselves from marketing on social media:

• Be aware of your insecurities
• Take 24/48 hours before purchasing, delay the instant gratification.
• Read reviews before purchasing, and do your research.
• Ask yourself, can I add this (item) into my routine, is it sustainable, ie supplements, beauty products etc.
• Calm yourself down, be realistic before you purchase something, don't catastrophize something do I have this health concern?
• If you do not have self-control with your phone - get a phone jail from Amazon
• Practice leaving your phone at home, go for a walk without it, or ask someone you are with to keep a hold of it on a night out, or when catching up with friends, no phones at the table.

Welcome back loves! This episode was a special one, for Matilda went to university with Tori and they had such a lovely catchup about their work, uni, and their experiences with eating disorders and body image issues. Thank you so much to Victoria for sharing her stories with us.

https://wakingwellness.com.au/

Advice from an Eating Disorder Nutritionist Victoria Dunn:

• Speak Out – there is power in sharing your struggles and personal experiences. You may be amazed at how many other women have felt this way but did not disclose it. Do not internalise how you are feeling.
• Fresh Air – sounds simple but it really does wonders. Get outside within fresh air each day, this is an amazing tool to take your mind off your physical body and into your physical surroundings.
• Social Media Detox – what accounts do you follow? Everyone’s pregnancy journey is going to look different, so if someone is posting images that you find you are comparing yourself too, simply unfollow or mute their content, so you do not receive body image ideal messages, even if unintentional.
• Wardrobe Clean – remove and pack away all your old clothes which do not fit you now or that will not fit you during pregnancy. Pack it away and re-visit this when you are ready postpartum (but that is another story… our bodies are obviously going to be beautifully different after birth). Purchase clothes that are forgiving sizes and cuts that allow you to grow and develop naturally.
• Natural Materials – think stretchy bamboo and organic cotton. These materials naturally move and stretch with the female form and are not ridged and therefore are comfortable. Feeling uncomfortable in your clothes can translate to feeling uncomfortable in your body. I did not buy anything from maternity brands, rather I just bought bigger sizes and natural materials of things which would adapt with my changing body.
• Remove Triggers – cut away the clothing tag which says the size of the garment if this is a trigger for you, ask your friends/relatives to not comment on your changing body even if it is intended to be positive, ask your GP/Doctor/Midwife not to weigh you at your appointments (or if it is necessary to do so, ask to not know the number on the scales).
• Avoid Body Checking – this is where we catch ourselves looking into the mirror at our bodies and thinking negative thoughts. Avoid spending too long in front of mirrors and practice appreciating your body for everything that it does for you… including growing a human during this stage of pregnancy! Women are amazing.
• Care For Your Inner Health – how we feel on the instead absolutely resonates to how we feel and what we reflect on the outside. The health of our gut and hormones can, and do, have a profound impact on our mental health (which I know from personal experience and see so frequently within my clients)! Eat foods that make you happy, using whole ingredients from food in its most natural state. Eat a variety of colour in your diet, as different colours literally mean you are getting different vitamins and nutrients.

Hi Everyone!

Matilda & Olivia here, we are ecstatic to introduce our podcast to you.

When we came up with the name for this podcast we really wanted to encapsulate the way we both (and many of you) have felt growing up in an age where looking a certain way is valued more than feeling and being good enough.

“Is this flattering?” Felt like a statement we both feel labeled our adolescence and early 20s and represents the insecurities placed on us by weight and body stigmas.

The topics we discuss here won’t be at all flattered down or neutralised to be less important. We hope to expose the myths and falsity of today's wellness and nutrition culture and show up for you here undiluted and unfiltered.

We all have an experience of ‘unflattering’ and we hope we can support you through your own body image healing journey away from the deeply ingrained fatphobic messaging we were all conditioned by.

We hope you feel at home with us,

All our love

Matilda & Olivia
