the nourishing podcast: Recent Episodes
Aglaée Jacob
This is the nourishing podcast: a podcast to nourish you and help you REMEMBERwhat feeling deeply nourished feels like, in your body + mind + heart + soul. My intention is to help you feel nourished from the inside out so that you no longer feel that empty void within and so that you can bloom more fully into your wholeness. The path of nourishment at all levels is the path to finding more peace, more freedom, and more love within and all around you. Yes, there is MORE available to you and the world needs the beautiful whOle nourished you. Grab yourself a cup of tea or kombucha and let’s sit together, just the 2 of us.
Ed (my life partner) is back on the show for this very special episode where we get to hear a man's perspective on a lot of topics related to women's bodies & their embodiment, including food, nutrition, weight, body image, pleasure, intimacy, relationship, and sex...
... a lot of very important topics and a lot of real stories from us intertwined with deep insights & laughter. :) And it does get juicy!
You won't want to miss these 3 highlights of the episode:
- the ONE mistake Ed saw most women making with their food, health & weight goals as a former nutrition coach & personal trainer
- how the practice of embodiment can improve any relationship, including your sex life
- the ONE thing that makes the difference with ANY habit or change you want to make in your life
Enjoy the listen!
With love,

Body initiations. Rites of passages. Women's bodies.
Let me tell you a story.
This is a story that is still very tender in my heart that happened just 2 weeks ago as I went through a MAJOR body initiation that I was really not anticipating (I guess we never can, right? lol... seems to be part of the deal to be unprepared for it!).
And this story is simply one of the many ways this story has been told and will keep being told in your own life, as a woman living in a woman's body.
The kind of body initiations which come with some much questioning, where you make your body wrong, where you feel like you can't trust your body, where you feel like things should NOT be happening the way they are, where you want to CONTROL whatever is happening... that's the kind of body initiations I'm talking about.
Enjoy the listen and let me know how your last body initiations showed up for you!

Here we are, finally! Number 100 felt like a lot of pressure until I realized that just like any number, it really doesn't mean anything!
And today, I really wanted to speak to women familiar with binge eating. You know, this feeling of loss of control, of hiding to eat, of eating a lot as fast as possible...
... well this is for you if you've been binge eating for at least 3 months and have already tried to either control / plan your food OR giving yourself full permission in an attempt to break free of it, without the desired results...
In this episode, I share a bit more about my own journey, the top 2 mistakes women dealing with binge eating make, and how to find your way OUT! (Hint: it is about embodied eating and coming back to your body!)

If you ever have or currently fear a specific food, food group, food component (i.e. gluten) or macro (i.e. carbs or fat), this episode is for you.
As I tell you the story of my fear of fat for many years which then transitioned into a fear of carbs, I tell you all about the EXACT 3 LESSONS that helped me not only overcome these fears but also find a way of eating that allows me to feel my healthiest, most energetic, sexiest and most radiant Self!
You may not even think about these as fears per se, but it could be for anything in food that you avoid OR believe to be the root of all evil when it comes to diseases + weight.
Enjoy the listen and be ready to feel differently about food by the end of this episode! With love,

I just turned 40!
Since being in my mid-30s, that number felt like a big deal and I have definitely felt scared of how my body will age, both in terms of what I look like and my health.
In this episode, I share what the 2 worst things that can ever happen to women are (according to society and then according to me) and help you shift old stories you have about aging so that you can start writing a new story about aging centered around vitality, radiance, and wisdom!
If you're someone who has fear about aging (or tries to avoid thinking about it and pretend it's not happening), then I'm so excited for you to experience a major shift by the end of this listen!
Enjoy!

p.s.2. an amazing belated birthday gift would be to leave a review for the podcast! Thank you!!!
This is the VERY last episode I'm recording in my 30s and I wanted to take some time to reflect on the last decade and the 30 MOST important lessons I have learned and CHOOSE to take with me.
Whatever stage you're at in your life, my intention is that you hear exactly what you're ready to receive right now to apply it and TRANSFORM your experience of being alive here on Mother Earth.
Be sure to have some pen and paper nearby because I just KNOW that a few of these lessons will just JUMP right at you to comfort your heart and give you some guidance in your own life.
Enjoy the listen and let me know what YOU are taking with you!

In this very special episode, I ask my partner 4 questions to uncover THE secret to an embodied relationship.
What is an embodied relationship?
I invite you to lean into this and create your own definition AND I'll share what it means to me.
To me, an embodied, loving relationship with my life partner is all about not being in my mind all the time and really constantly practicing bringing all of the knowledge about love, healing, inner child, speaking our needs, communication, trust, vulnerability, and so much more... into the day-to-day. It's also about practicing being IN my body so I can be aware of the different sensations giving me clues as to whatever is working well or whatever could be improved in our relationship.
I really believe you're going to LOVE this one and you will receive exactly what you're meant to receive to feel even more love, whether you're in a relationship right now or not.
I highly encourage you to listen to this conversation with your partner to spark discussions together (or to imagine yourself listening to it with one if you're still calling him/her in!).d
Connect with us to share any feedback and insights you've received to brighten our day!
Enjoy the listen!
With love,
Aglaee

p.s.2. connect with me on Instagram @aglaeejacob and check out the details of the Embodied Eating Mentorship here.
I started getting obsessed with desserts and sweets at a very young age and was typing my own cookbook with only dessert recipe on my parents' 386 computer back in the 90s.... lol
From there, feeling rejected by friends because of my appearance led me on this journey of trying to lose weight to fix myself and hopefully get the friendship and love I was craving...
... and the restrictions then led to emotional eating, stress eating, and binge eating and me feeling like completely addicted to sugar.
Chocolate was always my go-to and now I realize that it was the Spirit of Mama Cacao calling me all along... if you feel this pull towards chocolate, it may be the same for you, too!
See what happened for me on my journey to finding kakao and freeing myself from sugar addiction so you can do the same too!
Enjoy the listen!

p.s.2. learn more about the Embodied Eating Mentorship here.
The podcast is back after a 3-month break! You may notice the name changed... we're now The Embodied Life Podcast (previously the nourishing podcast). Still on the same path but yet another rebirth, as you've probably had a few on your own journey, too!
In this episode, I tell you the exact compliment I most desire you to receive and that I know you WILL receive very soon if you keep walking on the embodiment journey.
It isn't about external validation or anything like that, it's more about being witnessed by other wise women and having an opportunity to reflect and see how far you've come.
The inner work that isn't always easy to do in the shadow and dark corners of ourselves has ripple effect from the inside out that truly lead to more RADIANCE with your health, energy, self-expression, and unique beauty!
Enjoy the listen!

p.s. let's connect! find me on Instagram @aglaeejacob and let me know what insights you receive and if you have any questions & suggestions!
In this episode, my dear soul sister Jen interviews me and has me share part of my healing journey I had never shared in this way before... a journey to radical self-honesty starting from the relationship with my body and what has led me to become a woman of trust in creating the changes I desire in life on all levels (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and relational aspects)!
We expore:
Unmasking our masks can be a scary process. How can we navigate with ease? How pain plays an important role to radical self-honesty? Why Self-Responsibility is a must-learn skill in the relationship realm(especially for highly sensitive souls) How to lean in more when facing obstacles in relationships (using our friendship as a real example) What does it feel to come back to our body and let it guide us to a greater level of honesty? What tactics we use as strategies to avoid being honest with ourselves? Nourishing inquiries to develop stronger self-trust with self-honesty Enjoy this interview!

p.s. let me know which bite of wisdom resonates with you!
Have you ever felt like you couldn't stop eating or that there was something wrong with the way that you ate?
I told myself that so many times during or after eating a whole batch of cookies (or cookie dough), bag of chips, or box of crackers (sometimes all at once).
I just felt like I was seeing myself eating all of this food when I didn't really feel hungry and knew it wasn't good for me but I just couldn't stop myself... until I'd feel even more awful not only in my body but also mentally and emotionally because of all of the beating up, guilt, and shame that followed...
The 5 steps I share with you today are the very same I used to free myself from emotional eating / mindless eating / binge eating.
It takes courage.
It takes repetition.
It takes practice.
And yet, it works!
You can also download a free guide with these 5 steps here: aglaeejacob.com/freeguide.
And I'd love to connect over on Instagram @aglaeejacob.
Sending you so much love & many blessings,
Aglaee
Mirror, mirror... what does your mirror says?
Or rather what does your own reflection of your reflection has to say?
Have you ever considered that the reason why it seems so hard to stick to healthy eating habits isn't because your plans are not good or that there is something wrong with you, but rather because you haven't explored the deeper layer that represents your relationship with your body.
This is what this episode is about. Discover how sneaky thoughts about your body can affect your eating habits and how to shift towards healtheir thoughts and habits to nourish the whOle you.
With much love,
Aglaee
Have you ever felt like any of these:
- You often look forward to your next meal / snack because you love eating and at the same time you sometimes wish you didn't have to eat because it's so complicated and you can't seem to ever get it right
- You love learning about nutrition and know about the numbers / labels / ingredients of different foods yet you feel like it would be so simple to just be like young children and just enjoy food as food
- You long for a healthier relationship with food because you know that it also represents a more intimate connection with your body and the earth herself... yet at the same time you fear you wouldn't be able to get there (or perhaps don't really deserve it)
Those are some of the ways a love-hate relationship with food may show up for you in your life... this episode goes deep into the different manifestations of this and how it related to having challenges sticking to healthier eating habits... and how to move through it!
Enjoy the listen,

What were you taught about food and your body growing up?
Many of us have been handed off disempowering beliefs about food and our bodies... let's call them lies.
Today, I will reveal the 3 biggest ones that I've worked on for myself and that I've seen in so many of the women I've worked with.... with the intention of you illuminating exactly what you're ready to see so that you can eat in a more nourishing way and be even more of the radiant woman you're here to be!

Let me ask you this: what is your frequency like?
If we were to describe your frequency as a radio station, what would it sound like and what mood would it put me in?
Whatever your frequency is right now, it's okay.
And it does change all the time although most of us tend to have a default setting that is easy to go back to...
What if we could change our frequency as we do a radio station to be more in the receiving mode for the type of life we choose to create?
This is what today's episode is about!
Enjoy!

Spirituality tends to be practiced in containers, as in a yoga class or meditation or whatever is part of your practice.
... yet bringing spirituality into the rest of your life can make a HUGE difference in your ability to become the women you truly want to be in the world and create a life that truly looks & feels like you.
In this episode, I share how you can practice integrating spirituality into your kitchen, from my ideal scenario (which has never happen in actuality! lol) to what it actually looks like in a real, full life.

Have you ever told yourself that your metabolism is broken or that there is something wrong with it?
I have done that for YEARS.
And those are the years where I struggled the most with my health, with my weight, with my body... and just with who I was as a woman in the world.
Metabolism is all about the circulation of energy.
There is nothing broken about your energy and the most important thing to do now is to look at where your thoughts, emotions, and actions are causing the energy to stay stuck and stagnant within yourself...
... so that this energy can circulate within yourself again...
.... which will increase your metabolism!
Hint: it starts with caring a lot more about how you feel.
Stay tuned and let me know which of these tips you will try!
With much love,

We've made food so complicated and it's time to make it simple again.
Can food just be food? ... instead of numbers, food groups, and labels of "healthy" and "unhealthy"...?
Can kids simply learn to trust their bodies and feel how different foods feel in their bodies?
Can kids STAY connected to their bodies instead of dissociating and starting living in their minds from such a young age?
Can parents trust kids to know what is best for them?
The answer can be YES to all of these questions... but only if we do the work ourselves as mothers & parents.
It doesn't mean that we have to be perfect and have completely healed our relationship with food... it simply needs that we can practice awareness, presence, and trust with our Self & our kid(s).
Discover what has worked best for me and my family in this podcast episode!

Sometimes we can feel trapped in the day-to-day.
Have you ever felt like every day is about caring for your family, making meals and lunches and snacks, cleaning, going to bed, and repeating it all over again?
Let's take a deep dive into this to remember how to transform and make the mundane sacred... since it's all part of your beautiful journey here on earth!
It isn't always easy AND it's all part of something better.
Thank you for being on this journey, woman!

Most of us know a lot about how to have better sleep hygiene and how going to bed earlier will help us feel better... but it isn't always possible...
And caffeine can be a wonderful ally but also a bit of a double-edge sword and too much can make you feel more tired in the long-term, especially if your adrenals have been working hard.
So what can we do to feel more energized?
Here are 7 of my best tips that you can apply right away to feel a difference in your energy levels!!!
Let me know which one(s) resonate(s) most with you and which one(s) you're going to try today!

p.s. connect with me on Instagram @aglaeejacob to share your insights and questions!
Have you ever done your best to "survive" the day and get through as much of your to-do list as possible so that you can get to the end of the day (after the kids' bedtime if you're a mom!) and finally have some time for yourself to relax and have fun with food?
Food is such a delicious pleasure of being in a body but if it becomes the main highlight of your day, day after day, it may indicate that you are depleted and mal-nourished in some areas of your life, whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.
Listen to this episode if this sounds like you and have some pen & paper close because many aha moments are coming your way!

The reason why you think you can't trust your body is because you think you can't trust your body!
In this episode, we look at the beliefs underneath this mistrust of your body's inner wisdom and guidance. Or perhaps it isn't mistrust, but it isn't full trust. We're all somewhere on the spectrum.
You'll also discover some practical ways to distinguish between cravings and true nourishment insights... and how to take those practices even in challenging times like when experiencing PMS.
Are you ready to trust your body more?
Listen and you'll be on that path!

Today's episode is for you if you're willing to open your eyes and see what may be keeping you eating in a way that is not serving you and your body.
I lived a bit part of my life in victim consciousness, where I felt like life was happening to me, that it wasn't fair, that it was too hard, that there was something wrong with me, and that I was like the helpless princesses in the stories needing to be saved.
But not any longer.
I mean most of the time. I'm still practicing and I've learned so much on this journey of stepping away from victim consciousnessi and reclaiming my own power.
Enjoy the listen!

We are in relationship with everyone and everything around us... but our degree of connection with these people, beings, and things around us can vary greatly from 0 to 100.
On my own journey, I've realized that intentionally CONNECTING with who and what I want to be connected to is how I RECLAIM my power.
And the 3 most important things I practice connecting to are my body, my Self (heart & soul), and Mother Earth.
I strongly believe that powerful women are connected to their body, their Self, and Mother Earth.
Let's go deeper into this conversation in today's episode!

When's the last time you talked to your inner child?
It was my birthday just a few days ago and at the same time of realizing how far I've come, I've also realized that my inner child is always so close and will always be for the rest of my life.
I've been connecting with my inner child for the last 5+ years and have learned so much about myself in the process. This work has also been a big part of my eating disorder recovery and in establishing new nourishing habits in my life as well as developing healthier relationships with those around me.
I do not claim to be an inner child expert but I'm becoming an expert at nurturing, mothering, and taking care of my own inner child and this is what I'm sharing with you today, with vulnerability and a whole lot of compassion.
I haven't been doing resolutions for a few years now but I love looking at my habits to see which ones add (or take away) to my life. This year, those are the 5 habits I'm making sure I include every single week, if not every day! Let me know which nourishing habits you have implemented or desire to implement...!

Let me tell you a story...
... a birth story...
... actually, a free birth story!
This is the birth story of my daughter at the end of 2021. After a beautiful wild pregnancy and a journey that taught me to trust my body, my baby, and my Self in a whole new way, I gave birth to her by the fireplace in the basement of our home surrounded only by my family (partner & 2 kids).
This story is both so mundane and so sacred at the same time.
This is just birth.
This is the birth my daughter wanted and this is the type of birth any woman can experience if they so choose.
Connect with me on instagram @aglaeejacob.
This is the first episode I record with baby Rose! After a bit of chit chat about what my postpartum period has been like so far after a month or so, I offer you this very simple practice of creating space for a daily nourishment ritual in your life.
The daily nourishment ritual isn't about adding anything more to your already busy life but rather is about adding spaciousness and depth to what you already do to turn it into a nourishing practice.
I also share daily nourishment ritual on instagram (@radicatanutrition) for inspiration & connection on this path. See you there!
Wishing you all the nourishment you need & deserve!

This is part two of my open-hearted discussion with my partner Ed about parenting & co-parenting and all that it brings (the joy AND many challenges) into our life!
In the first part, we talked a little bit about our respective journeys of parenthood separately and now together as a blended family and what it has looked like for us.
Now in this second episode, we talk a lot about our views & perspectives on child development and the practical things we do to help our kids become well-rounded, happy, and thriving adults.
We've never done this before and we aren't "experts" on the topic but we've given this a lot of thought and we'd love to hear your opinions and insights as well!
Enjoy the listen and DM me on Instagram to let us know what you received from this conversation and what other topics you'd like us to discuss!

A few months ago, I came across this beautiful read called "Herstory - a womanifesto" by Jane Hardwicke Collings, which tells the story of the feminine through the last thousands of years and the different cycles the feminine has been through bringing us to day... ready for a rebirth and rise of the feminine!
I reached out to the author, Jane, to ask for her permission to read it aloud on the nourishing podcast and she enthusiastically approved! Enjoy the listen!
I invite her to find her and all the amazing resources & courses she offers about the feminine and how to reconnect with our body and cycles at the following links:

And please share this podcast!
Every girl and woman need to know about this!
And find me on instagram for more updates and food for thought @radicatanutrition.
This is the second of our new series of monthly nourishing conversations with real, wise women practicing nourishment just like you and me (the first one is episode #062).
In this episode, you will see yourself in so many parts of Megan's story.
From growing up in an environment that made her feel insecure and like she had no control over what was going on, feeling like there was something wrong with her body for not fitting the typical "mold", and learning to use food as a coping strategy... to finding her way to and on the path of nourishment to feel more like herself than she ever has.
In this episode, we laugh at times and we also go deep. We keep it real.
And most importantly, we feel our hearts nourished by the authenticity, connection, and real, non-fluffy inspiration that we all need to keep going in today's world.
Enjoy the listen!

Nourishment is not-linear.
It isn't supposed to be the same all year long, just like we aren't supposed to be in the go, go, go fullness of the summer all year long.
Whenever you're listening to this, take a moment to pause and reflect as to where you're at with the current seasons of Mother Earth where you're at in the world and weave that with the current phase of the moon, where you're at with your menstrual cycle (if you cycle), the rhythm of your days, and the unique season of life you find yourself in.
May this episode help you deepen your nourishment practices for your body + mind + heart + soul in a way that meets you exactly where you are!
This is the first of our new series of monthly nourishing conversations with real, wise women practicing nourishment just like you and me.
In this episode, you'll learn about a woman's journey on the path of nourishment, which included growing up in a 100% Italian family, losing herself in her 20s, infertility struggles, starting on a health journey for her family, and how she discovered that self-care and nourishment were not optional, but rather CRITICAL.
In this episode, we laugh at times and we also go deep. We keep it real.
And most importantly, we feel our hearts nourished by the authenticity, connection, and real, non-fluffy inspiration that we all need to keep going in today's world.
Enjoy the listen!

Do you find yourself craving more of a nourishing structure & container as summer ends and autumn approaches? I certainly do!
I share some updates and examples about how I've been personally dealing with a lot of unexpected changes in my own life, now venturing into the world of homeschooling with my son as I enter the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy and facing so many unknowns in this world...
And we have a deep discussion about the meaning of Truth and how it feels like to access and connect with our own Truth as well as different ways to deepen your own relationship with your own Truth through your body, mind, heart, & soul.
Enjoy the listen!
THIS IS A GIFT!!!!
In this bonus episode, I'm offering you my nourishing affirmations, which I have created to start wiring the subconscious mind to open yourself to create, cultivate, and receive more nourishment into your day-to-day life.
Give the nourishing affirmations a listen and see how that feels within you... and how it may lead to more nourishing choices for your body + mind + heart + soul during the rest of your day!

How true to yourself are you?
Inside of your own Self?
With others around you?
In your own life?
In this episode, we explore the topic of authentic expression and what it means to say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no.
We wonder about what it would be like for each one of us to give less importance to what others may say or think and to start paying more attention to what feels right for us in each and every moment in different aspects of our lives.
We discover what it may be like for us to embody more of our Inner Wise Woman, Inner Wild Woman, Inner Sensual Woman, and Inner Free Woman so that we can be more aligned with our True Self...
... using the practice of nourishment as a way to feel guided, supported, and sustained on the journey!

The nourishing podcast is now becoming a monthly podcast (after a whole year of releasing weekly episodes)! I explain why in this episode and give you some brief updates about what's happening in my body (just completed the first trimester of my 2nd pregnancy!).
And then we dive DEEP. As a woman, we are basically taught to give our power away... We're taught that others know better about our body and that we cannot trust our own body nor our Self. But it's time for all of that to change.
In this episode, I share with you 3 ways you can apply TODAY to start reclaiming your body & your power as a woman in the world. I wonder which one will resonate the most for you (unless it's all of them!)
Wishing you a beautiful month of June and I'll be back every second Thursday of every month from now on.
We live most of our days in our minds. Thinking, analyzing, trying to do all the things we're supposed to do as adults in the world...
... and sometimes forget how to BE in OUR BODY.
Movement can be a way to get there. Not all types of movements are embodiment practices but movements that help you move from your mind into your body can be exactly the medicine you were looking for to bring your eating more in alignment with who you truly are and the woman you want to become more of.
This is what we talk about this week: movement as medicine for emotional eating.
Because the more embodied you are, the more natural it becomes to eat in a way that feels good for your body as it is today.

Happy birthday to the nourishing podcast!
To thank you for being part of the success of the nourishing podcast and for doing your part to make the world a more nourishing place, I'm sharing some of my best nourishment secretes today...
... in a very special way!
My partner, Ed, who's been witnessing a big part of my nourishment journey is interviewing me. You can find more about him and his work in the world on Instagram @theonlyedever.
Heads up: I had no idea where the interview would take me and I was sweating quite a bit! lol The interview was so much fun and I even got to ask my partner's masculine perspective on nourishment for men and women.

We often talk about all the things we should do when we have cravings or eat our emotions... most of the time things we should do INSTEAD.
Not all of these things shared in popular magazines actually work, especially if you are still doing the 3 THINGS we talk about on this episode.
To make any changes in your eating habits stick more easily, these are the 3 things that we must absolutely STOP doing.
I wonder if you are doing any of them?
It's completely fine if you are because I truly believe you are doing the best you can but what if these simple changes could make all the difference for you?
This is what we talk about in this week's episode.
If you haven't listened to the past 2 episodes (#050 & #051), I invite you to go give them a listen because it will set the context even more strongly and deeply for today's powerful episode.

Do you feel like you can't have certain foods at home because the temptation gets too strong?
I've felt like a sugar / food addict for many years of my life and I just thought it'd be impossible to have chocolate and cookies and other of my favorite foods at home without me bingeing on them... but miracles are possible!
And I believe miracles are possible for you, too!
And maybe it simply starts by applying one or all of these 3 things that have helped me the most when the cravings just feel so impossible to resist.

Many surveys are showing that emotional eating and overeating have increased in the last year, which I believe is simply another symptom of the malnourished soul.
But whatever the studies & numbers are saying, what truly matters is what is true to you.
Is emotional eating something you struggle with? And if so, has it gotten worst in the past year?
If the answer is yes (for any of these questions), it's actually REALLY GOOD NEWS!!! I know it doesn't feel like it and I'm not dismissing any of the pain it causes you, but the truth is that the reason emotional eating is showing up in your life right now is to present you with a door for healing & growth... if you choose to open it!
This is what we talk about in this week's episode.

Triggers are fun! Aren’t they? They truly are an opportunity for healing and growth… even though it may not feel anything exciting while we’re in the middle of it.
Triggers don’t feel good and can happen when we compare ourselves, when some of our needs aren’t being met, when someone say or do something or when someone doesn’t say or doesn’t do something, when we look at our body, eat, or try clothes on…
In this episode, I guide you through a 5-step process that can help remove the charge of any trigger to identify the unmet need underneath it. Knowing that needs cannot be unneeded and only met, this process guides you on a path to shift any breakdown into a breakthrough!

Here are the top 5 things I do daily with food to nourish my physical + mental + emotional + spiritual health…!
Those are not 5 superfoods or supplements, those are daily practices to cultivate a lifestyle of nourishment. These practices come as a result of being on my own healing journey suffering from physical health conditions (digestive issues like IBS & SIBO) as well as hormonal imbalances (PCOS) in addition to mental health issues (binge eating disorder).
I also explain why those are my top 5 non-negotiables with food and share some tips that make it easier for me to implement them in the day to day!

As women, we have been told we can do ANYTHING…. and as a result, we often end up thinking we have to do EVERYTHING!
When a woman feel resentful, it isn’t only about the current situation but also about all of the past situations that this reminds her of and perhaps even, subconsciously, of all the similar situations all the women in her lineage and in the collective of women around the world have been in for thousands of years.
In this episode, we look at resentment more clearly and discuss 5 steps to help you let go of resentment WITHOUT dismissing your needs.

If you have food intolerances or food restrictions, you may wonder if embodied eating is even possible for you?
Embodied eating is about finding an intuitive way to eat that is guided by your body’s own inner wisdom with the main goal of feeling as good as you can in your body as it is today.
In this episode, we talk about how to merge the knowledge the mind has about health, food, and nutrition with the beautiful guidance of your body, even if you feel like your body somehow doesn’t have that inner wisdom… because it does!
We also talk about how hyperpalatable and processed foods can make this process more confusing and I share with you 3 steps to help you start practicing embodied eating at your very next meal!

The more disconnected from the Earth we have become, the more disconnected from each other, from our body, and from ourselves we have become...

Self-love has become a buzz word thrown all over the place and there are a lot of misconceptions about it.
As we approach International Self-Love Day (Feb 13), let's talk about what self-love truly is. It is NOT bubble bath, doing yoga, or anything that you can see on the OUTSIDE... and it has a lot more to do with what is happening between the different parts of yourself WITHIN.
In this week's episode, we talk about how life circumstances can cause fragmentation within ourselves and how we tend to disown, repress, and reject part of ourselves we don't like quite as much...
... and how self-love is the process of re-intregrating these different parts of yourself that have been left along the way.
And if you're craving more practices to help deepen your self-love from the inside out, you are invited to join the Nourishing Inner Circle!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Life really is about relationships.
And it's through relationships that we can find so much healing and growth on our journey as spiritual beings having a very human experience.
In this week's episode, I talk about how we can bring the sacred into the mundane by bringing our intuition and the guidance of our Higher Self into our day-to-day interactions and relationships.
I also share some specific ways you can apply this concept for different types of relationships including dating, your life partner, parenting, as well as with family members, friends, and coworkers.
Are you ready to take your spiritual practice and your intuition to the next level? If so, your relationships could be another door to guide you in that direction!
With so much love,
Aglaée ♡ ♡ ♡
Bonjour beautiful soul,
Before remembering what nourishment truly is, I spent most of my life feeling mal-nourished, empty, and like there was something missing.
And what I realized over the years is that practicing nourishment has allowed to bring more of myself into myself so that I can inhabit more fully each and every single one of my cells.
Through nourishment at ALL levels { body + mind + heart + soul}, I have learned that I am cultivating my connection with myself and my intuition.
Listen to today's episode to learn about concrete ways you can practice adding more nourishment at ALL levels into your life so that you can nourish your relationship with your own intuition at the same time!
With so much love,
Aglaée ♡ ♡ ♡
Bonjour beautiful soul,
I have had a love / hate relationship with movement for a good part of my life. I used to move my body only to punish myself for having eaten too much and to punish my body for not looking the way I wanted her to look.
For many years as part of my healing journey from my complicated relationship with food and my body, it was very hard for me to make peace with movement and find ways to move my body that felt authentic to me...
This is what embodied & intuitive forms of yoga has helped me, too, and this is what led me to find Qoya and start teaching Qoya last year!
In this episode, I talk about the importance of finding movement practices that help you re---connect and strengthen your connection with your intuition so that, through movement, you can remember who you truly are.
With so much love,

Bonjour beautiful soul,
The last year has been high in emotions and has felt like a roller coaster for many of us.
And whenever things are feeling like too much and/or are happening too fast, we may start retreating to our mind and dis---connect from our body & intuition as a result.
This week, we'll talk about my 5 favorite ways to make space for my emotions to move through me so that the storm can pass and so that I can see the lighthouse that is our intuition more clearly again.
Stay connected to your intuition as you listen to this episode and let it guide you towards the most supportive & nourishing practices shared today!

Aglaée ♡ ♡ ♡
Bonjour beautiful soul,
It is not a coincidence that you feel called to listen to this right now.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
I wish we could all wake up with body confidence one morning and be done with it.
But the truth is we live in a world that has a lot of industries relying on making us feel inadequate and not enough so that it can make money by selling us make-up, anti-aging creams, diets, clothes, and so many other things...
All with the promise of making us feel more confident... isn't that ironic?
In today's episode, let's talk about body confidence. What it is and what it isn't and what we can do to have more of it!
With so much love,
Aglaée ♡ ♡ ♡
Bonjour beautiful soul,
I used to be very triggered whenever there are special occasions, celebrations, and Holidays... because of the food... because of the size of my body... because of being with people I didn't see that often...
And now we can add to that for many of you the fear of being alone, the grief of not celebrating the Holidays the same way as usual, as well as all the anxiety of 2020 piled up on top of that.
However you plan on celebrating this year (and this can be for any type of celebrations), I share 3 questions to ask yourself and help you move through any triggers related to this very special & intense time of the year.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Another year is ending and another one is about to start... is this going to be just another year that comes and go or are you interested to make it a year of living with more intention?
Sometimes we feel like life happens to us but in reality, life happens FOR us! And when we start living with intention, we can start deepening our experience as humans here on earth. No matter what happens on the outside.
In this episode, I share my experience with using a word of the year and letting the word teach me in ways I could never learn about these words any other way! Did you have a word of the year for 2020? Do you want one for 2021?

Connection. Community. Heart nourishment.
How do we get this important heart nutrient in 2020 with everything going on in the world?
I have found that social media can be a useful tool to feel more connected, to a certain extend though… too much of it personally leaves me feeling more empty than nourished. Have you found the same to be true for you?
Circles have been the best way for me to find community in this online world, especially that I’ve moved around a lot and has given me the opportunity to find some of my closest and dearest soul sisters!
In this episode, I share my experience with you and I personally invite you to attend a circle I am holding next week! Click here to RSVP your seat at the FREE Nourishing 2020 Wisdom Circle on Wed, Dec 2nd >>> RadicataNutrition.lpages.co/2020circle. I hope to see you there! And I’d love it if you DM’ed me on Instagram to let me know you’ll be gathering around this circle with me.
Pssst! If you are more of an introvert, know that this is a circle without camera for the attendees but with many opportunities to interact & comment in written form!

Relationships can be messy and challenging AND they can be so beautiful and healing at the same time.
In this very personal episode, I share the 5 most important things I learned about relationships from my own personal experience with relationships, from a 17-year relationship with my high school sweetheart that ended up in a divorce to entering the “dating world” for the first time in my life in my 30s and to calling in the sacred partnership my heart & soul desired!

I have felt numb and dis—connected from my body for a big part of my life and I didn’t even know it. It’s hard to know otherwise when there’s so many different ways we are “taught” to dis—connect from our body as we grow up in this world.
Today, we look at 8 of the most common reasons you may have dis—connected from your body as a way to better understand how subtle it can be and see more clearly the healing & growth possible for you by being on the embodiment path to come back home to your body!

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Are you “spiritual”? Or do you live your spirituality?
What’s the difference, you may ask.
Let’s explore the topic of spirituality today and my perspective on spirituality and religion, how spirituality isn’t about being positive and happy all the time, how to use food & the body as a portal to deepen your spirituality, and some reframes to help you live your spirituality more deeply, starting now!
I also share my own personal spiritual awakening story if you’re interested. And I’d love to read yours if you want to send it to me as a DM on instagram (@RadicataNutrition) or email me at aj@radicatanutrition.com.

Am I the only one who ever had this thought?
This used to be the way I thought with food. It had to be 100% perfect or else I failed and why even try. Might as well eat all the things and try again tomorrow, or next Monday, or at the start of the next New Moon...
Does that sound familiar?
Today, let's talk about why we do this to ourselves and how to get out of that vicious cycle!

Sugar cravings... I used to think that I was a sugar addict. Seriously, I had such a sweet tooth and couldn't understand what was "wrong" with me for always wanting to eat something sweet even after what should have been a complete meal...
In today's episode, I talk about the most common reasons we may crave sugar (physical, mental, and emotional), whether fighting your cravings really is the best way to go, and the approach I suggest instead.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Today is a little different than usual for 2 reasons! First, it's the first time I openly talk about sex in this way on a public platform (ahhhh! lol) and the second reason it's because it's a recorded conversation I had with someone!
I recently did an instagram live with Avi Kabani. He's someone I've been following for 2-3 years and I also have one of his book. He invited me to talk about food & sex and I thought this could be a very interesting conversation... and since it was, I'm making it available for you here!
If you prefer to watch the video, you can find it here: instagram.com/tv/CFawEcuHAuD.
You can find Avi Kabani, author of "I See You" and "The Art of Energetic Lovemaking" and all the work that he does at instagram.com/avi_kabani.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Is is it hard for you to RECEIVE? I'm talking about receiving fully: opening yourself up and letting it ALL in. I have noticed that it isn't that easy for me and for most of the women (and men) I work with!
Pay attention next time you receive a compliment. Do you deflect it or try to minimize it? It's okay if you do but there lies an opportunity for you to grow with your ability to receive which is directly correlated to your sense of self-worth!
In this week's episode, I share the power of the practice of receiving to heal & open yourself to more in your life and a simple practice you can try throughout the day and even as you're listening!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Is structure something that makes you want to run away screaming? It was the case for me! After living the first part of my life with a lot of rigidity, I went through a phase of wanting to throw all structure out the window.
But there is incredible value in structure.
Structure, if implemented in a healthy way, can truly hold you and your days so that you can focus on the things that truly matter to you and so that you have more FREEDOM to live your live the way you want to live your life.
There can be a happy dance between STRUCTURE vs FLOW. Let me share you how I found my balance between the 2 to cultivate more freedom within myself and in my life!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
What are you really say yes to in your life right now?
The way we live our day is the way we live our life. If you agree with this, what are your days saying about the way you live your life? It’s important to ask this question with a LOT of compassion.
With the fast pace of the world, it’s sometimes very easy to forget about our values and the things that truly matter to us. I do too. That’s why we ALL need reminders.
This is what this week’s episode is about. It is about re---connecting with what truly matters to you so that you can make a little bit more space for these things in your day-to-day. Even if only 2 more minutes of your day. Because it all matters.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Have you ever heard of the rise of the feminine? What do we mean by that exactly? What is the feminine energy? And why does it matter?
No matter what gender you identify as, we all have both feminine & masculine energy within ourselves. Society has valued the masculine more than the feminine for thousands of years and it has permeated so much of what we do and how we live our life that it is also showing up in the way we eat.
Tune into this week’s episode to learn how your own inner feminine & masculine energies are showing up in the way you eat and take care of your body.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Do you sometimes wonder why you end up eating too much or eating foods that you don’t want to be eating, that you know aren’t good for you, and/or that you don’t even enjoy in the first place?
I have noticed 7 main patterns that can lead to self-sabotage with food. Although it may feel uncomfortable to talk about this topic and we would often just prefer to sweep it under the carpet, you know that it’s time to dig deeper and get to the root of this. Because this is the only way new habits can ever stick and change can truly happen.
Come with me to explore these 7 patterns with me and see which one(s) need a bit more love in your life at this time!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
After years of working with so many people, here are the top 6 mistakes I've seen spiritual women make on their healing journey.
Making mistakes doesn't mean anything bad about someone. The reason we make mistakes is simply because we're unaware of a better way to do things. Mistakes are things that we do that are hidden in our blind spot, so to speak.
So if you are ready to see whether there might be anything hiding in your own blind spots, tune into this week's episode to learn about the top 6 mistakes spiritual women make with food and taking care of their body.
Let me know which of these resonates the most with you!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
This is a story that has been repeated so many times inside of my head. "You're on your own" and different variations of that same story have made me feel alone, rejected, forgotten, sad, and unlovable. Do you have that same story playing in your head sometimes, too?
Well, I'm here to tell you that you're actually not on your own thinking you're on your own. You are not alone thinking you're alone.
In this episode, I talk about this illusion of separation that is part of the human experience and I share some personal stories to show how this can actually be passed down in your lineage from previous generations.
My intention is that you feel more nourished with this beautiful interconnectedness by the end of this episode!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Yes, I know I ask strange questions....! But really, do you care more about what you do and accomplish in the world and how things look like from the outside than you care about how you feel in your own little internal world?
This is a mistake we all do. I do it, too.
So today, let's take a moment to look at ourselves and inside our hearts to see where in our life we've been living more from the outside in instead of from the inside out... It's time to care more about how we feel. Because you deserve to feel good. And nourishment really is the path to get there.

Bonjour beautiful soul,
How do you feel about social media? I looooove social media and it had brought so many beautiful things into my life (I'll share a secret about this in this episode!!!).... AND it can also be the source of feeling dis---connected from ourselves, comparing ourselves, and wasting a lot of time.
In this episode, I talk about my relationship with social media, what I learned over the last decade of using social media for my professional and personal life to enjoy the good parts of social media while protecting myself from the most harmful parts.
Let me know what resonates the most with you! I love hearing from you!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Do you feel like you're fully in your body? I know it's a strange question and I would have thought you were crazy if you asked me this a few years ago... but the truth is that most of the people that I meet are actually NOT in their body.
Most of us spend a LOT of time living in our heads. We're taught to do that. It's even part of our educational system. But as we disconnect from our body to become rational & logical persons, we forget about the different wisdom centers in our heart and body.
So today, let me share with you 3 signs that you may be living in your mind more than you think (and yes, that goes for you, too, even if you're on your spiritual path!) and 3 concrete practices you can take into your life right now to see what it could feel like to be more EMBODIED! And embodiment truly is the path to connect you even more deeply to your intuition!

Bonjour beautiful soul,
Have you had moments like this? Looking in the mirror, getting dressed in the morning, or stepping in the scale and feeling fear rise up in your body as you notice that you have gained weight?
Whether you compare yourself to someone else or a past version of yourself, this fear can be so deeply ingrained. To the point that something like a number on the scale that we don’t like can steal whole days from us. Days where we feel caught in a spiral of fear and thoughts about trying to fix it. You know what I’m talking about, right?
In this episode, we talk about why it happens and how to use this 3-step process to pull yourself out of it. Make sure you write them down!

Hi beautiful soul,
How is your soul doing? We are going through some intense times and after spending the last weeks talking about the signs your body, your mind, and your heart could be under-nourished, it’s time to look at the soul.
Your soul. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.
What doesn’t feel good in your life is usually a sign from your soul that you are not aligned with your truth. Sometimes we don’t want to hear what our soul has to say… and it’s okay. But now more than ever, it’s time to bring yourself back. Go within. Listen to the whispers. As if your life depended on it. Because it does.
In this episode, we talk about:
- 9 signs that your soul is under-nourished
- why they are signs of under-nourishment
- why so many of us end up with these signs of under-nourishment
- why it matters to pay attention to these signs
- what we can do about it!

How’s your heart doing?
We talk a lot about physical health & mental health, but not so much about emotional health. It tends to be forgotten. We even hear the phrases “body-mind connect” or “body, mind, spirit” but what about the heart?
Your emotions are so important and your emotions affect your thoughts and behaviors (habits) and vice versa. Trying to change the way you take care of your body & mind without looking at the heart is what keeps so many people stuck on their healing journey.
In this episode, we talk about:
- 9 signs that your heart is under-nourished
- why they are signs of under-nourishment
- why so many of us end up with these signs of under-nourishment
- why it matters to pay attention to these signs
- what we can do about it!

Our minds are such a powerful tool but under-nourished minds can limit our potential by keeping us stuck in old patterns, limiting beliefs that no longer serve us, and ways of being that reflect a past version of ourselves.
In today’s podcast, we talk about the importance of nourishing the 2 hemispheres of your mind not only to feel more peace & calm in your mind but also to enhance your intuition.
We go through the 9 signs that your mind is under-nourished, why it matters, and what you can do about it.

Being able to ground ourselves can make it easier for us to live our days no matter what happens to us. It's not that grounding ourselves makes us completely immune to stress but it does allow us to be more resilient.
Just like a tree. A tree with strong & deep roots can stand tall even in very windy and stormy weather. The branches will move but there will be a sense of safety & stability instead of feeling like tumbleweeds or one of those inflatable flailing tube things.
In this episode, we talk about:
- what it feels like to not be grounded
- what it feels like to be grounded
- why it matters for your body + mind + heart + soul
- my top 5 practices to feel more grounded!

Uncertainty in our life is never easy and having uncertainty in the whole world brings all of this to a whole new level.
We have 2 options: a) decide to just live this way or b) choose to do something about it.
I believe that a lot of the fears that are (re-)surfacing in our lives during these intense times are simply the same fears we've been carrying for a long time put under a magnifying glass.
Fear is there to show us things we may not want to look at. But courage +nourishment at a deeper level can help us all come out stronger on the other side.
In this episode, we talk about:
- my perspective on these uncertain times (pandemic & lockdown)
- the impact of uncertainty on how nourished (or how little nourished) we feel in our body + mind + heart + soul
- one simple but very nourishing practice during these times
