I’ve been seeing a lot more people participating in the 75 hard challenge recently and I want to give my honest opinion that it is not helpful and can have a negative impact on your relationship to food and your body. The requirements are not sustainable and many people find themselves restarting the program over and over again because the expectations are not realistic. Hmmm sounds like most diet programs if you ask me. My goal is to help you see the disordered behaviors that come from challenges like these. It can be so hard to see, so I hope that this episode brings some awareness for you because I don’t want to see you struggle with your relationship to food and your body. I hope you enjoy!

If seeing the calorie amount on restaurant menus gives you anxiety and has the power to dictate your food choice this is for you! I can’t tell you how many times I have let those numbers have power over what I chose to ate AND how many times I would just end up binge eating anyway because I didn’t get something that was actually satisfying for me! In this episode, I give you tips on how to work through this anxiety! I hope you enjoy! IG: nourishedsoulwellness schedule a call with me!

In this episode, I talk about a very common fear that holds people back from healing their relationship to food and their body. I have heard so many people say that they’re afraid of possibly gaining weight because they fear their significant other won’t find them attractive or may possibly even leave them. In this episode, I talk about some perspective shifts and what you can do to start working through this fear. I hope you find this helpful!
In this episode, I talk about why weight loss will not heal your body image and what actually will. A lot of people turn to weight loss when they’re having negative thoughts about their body, and while it may bring you happiness, confidence, and satisfaction at first, it doesn’t last long term and keeps you stuck in a dieting cycle. I promise you it doesn’t have to be this way! Although my method may take longer, it’s sustainable and will give you a life long healthy relationship with your body. I hope you enjoy it!

Gaining weight in our society is HARD! Your clothes fitting too tight, the number on the scale going up, seeing a picture, someone making a comment about your body, can easily send anyone into a spiral and wanting to “get back on track” again. It makes sense! It makes you human. There are so many messages around us that make us believe that weight gain is the worst thing that could ever happen to us. In this episode, I talk about why we are so fearful of weight gain and a couple of things you can do to start working on your relationship to weight. I hope you enjoy!

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Do you find yourself saying “this is the year I’m finally going to be successful on my diet”... every year. We’re told that losing weight and dieting will give us the life we’ve always wanted, but your experience is your evidence. Has it really ever worked? SO many people put the blame on themselves but the truth is, it’s not your fault. You never failed. The diet did. In this episode, I go over why you should NOT go on a diet this New Year (or ever) and what you should do instead. I hope you enjoy!

Does this sound familiar? You’re so “good” all day and then you find yourself binge eating at night. You’re left feeling tons of guilt, shame, and physically uncomfortable. You’ve been told that you just lack willpower and need more discipline. You’ve been told that your next best step would probably be to “get back on track” or just maybe eat less the next day. I’m here to tell you that it has NOTHING to do with willpower or discipline and those strategies do NOT work sustainably. Think about it, if they did, you wouldn’t still be binge eating at night. In this episode I talk about what may be causing binge eating at night and what you can do that will actually sustainably help. I hope you enjoy!
You've probably heard before that you shouldn't label foods as "good" and "bad" but do you understand why?

Listen to the episode to learn how words impact your relationship to food and how to let go of the labels!

How often do you go outside of yourself to feel accepted and loved? So often, we go outside for someone or something to tell us what to do, who to feel, and who to be.

Whether that's seeking out relationships, likes and comments, or saying yes when we really want to say no. If this sounds like you, I know you will love this episode. I go over what external validation is, why we do it, and tips on how to let it go. Enjoy!
