Over the next 3 weeks I will be chatting with my guest speaker Laila W. Keith, who is a Business and Career Coach. We will be chatting about the effects of business, life, and nutrition.
See the show notes below for more information:
- Who we are and how we help people
I help mid-career 30+ female sales professionals & executives remove roadblocks preventing their success, fulfillment, and professional purpose, a training enthusiast and I love to help others succeed. My 20+ years of Fortune 500 company experience from Morgan Stanley to Johnson & Johnson have allowed me to boil down the skills and techniques that work and the ones that will work even better for you. I provide 1-on-1 virtual coaching sessions, virtual and live seminars, workshops, and corporate program development.
- Why we are having this conversation
A common theme with my clients is exploring identity around food and coping mechanisms to deal with stress. I often uncover that women are self-soothing and rewarding themselves with food.
Using food to self-soothe can leave us with an unhealthy relationship with food well into our adult years. When you’re rewarding yourself with food, you are also giving yourself permission to indulge which can lead to binge eating.
How were you rewarded as a child? Has become a key question I ask my clients. I work with clients who seek healthier work experiences and to establish healthier mindset and behaviors to support their transformation and goals, this question has become an integral first step into self-discovery and exploring codified behaviors from childhood that no longer serve them.
More often than not, they share they were rewarded with food. This seemingly benign gesture from parents, grandparents and other family set many of us up for a lifetime of codified behavior to use food as a reward.
Think back to when you were a child and you received a great report card or accomplished a goal. How did your parents reward you? For me it was McDonalds, a happy meal and dessert of course and for me I LOVED Carvel ice cream. Also my family was a mix of African American, Native American and Puerto Rican heritage where love and care was often expressed in the form of food and sweets. If you’re like most people, food, particularly sweet food, was used as a treat or reward when you behaved well or accomplished something. Maybe it was even used as a comfort mechanism when you got a scrape or a cut.
- Unhealthy relationship with food
Why it’s important to explore how you were rewarded as a child?
This led me to want to team up with the Food Decoder guru and provide some tools to help women develop heathier coping mechanisms to stress and develop healthier boundaries and experience with food. The rushing woman syndrome is real, women often place their health as a last priority
Becoming comfortable with your emotions will make you less likely to avoid them with food (and other unhealthy distractions i.e., phone, tv, substances)
Find healthier ways to comfort yourself during times of stress and grief. Go for walks, take hot showers, meditate, listen to your favorite music. Pairing activities you may avoid like exercising with things you like – listening to music, watching Netflix, find an exercise class that marries activities you enjoy
For more support and to further exploration into your relationship with food and behavior transformation feel free to book a call with either of us
