The parallels between diet culture and the “traditional ways” women are taught to engage with money are too plentiful. Over the years of working with women on intuitive eating and body image, it has become evident to me that working on a money mindset was the next step for my clients. I myself have had to do a lot of unlearning about finances and money from my years of training in the corporate world, and most recently, I have begun budgeting my personal finances.

The #1 health habit for women that no one considers but that has the greatest impact on our well being is the habit of cultivating a kind, compassion and loving inner narrative. How we talk in the secrecy of our mind generates the feelings we experience towards ourselves. The range of emotions we experience then generate our behaviors. The #1 health habit for women Otherwise, our health habits are generated from the way we feel about ourselves. For many of us who have been under the influence of diet culture the way we think and feel about ourselves isn’t very productive and too often leads to self-sabotage instead of self-motivation.

Anything we teach inside Undiet Your Life is counterculture and revolutionary because that’s what we need as women socialized to diet & wellness culture to liberate ourselves and create our best life. And how we think about health-promoting habits also needs to change.  Shift #1 Health is not a moral obligation Contrary to what diet & wellness culture and may have taught you, health is not a moral obligation, just like being in a particular body size or weight. You are free to decide how and if you will pursue health. This shift is most important in our ability to experience ease in creating new health behaviors. Moving from “I have to” to “I choose to” moves us into being in a position of autonomy and power over our reality.  Shift #2- Health is more than physical health  As women socialize to the thin ideal, we have been socialized that we are our body and that our health is the outcome of our physical body. That leads to poor mental and emotional health resulting in challenging behavioral patterns.

Intergenerational Dieting: Mother-Daughter Relationship Studies have found that women who began dieting at early ages were more likely to have daughters who would engage in binging or have problems with eating. These mothers were also more likely than other women to agree, when asked, that their daughters should lose weight. That’s my story. I learned dieting with my many ants and mom. So what happen when you stop dieting and are on the journey to accepting your body and she’s not? That is what we explore today, Dr. Morgan Francis. She’s a former dieter and now a mom of 3 who specializes in the treatment of body image, sexual health, relationships, self-empowerment, and eating disorders.  What you’ll learn listening to this episode on Intergenerational Dieting: What is intergenerational dieting and did it affect you How to best approach your mother when you decide to stop dieting and she doesn’t   The Role of Mother-Daughter Relationships in Determining Body Image How to help your children form great self-es

Being different in a world that thrives on conformity can be hard and cause a lot of suffering. Have you ever thought:  “but I felt much more confident when my body was smaller!” When confidence is shaken by the size of your body, it’s not confidence you were experiencing: it was the safety of compliance.  You felt safe because you had the thought you were protected from your fear of judgment and rejection.

I’d love to get you started with a mini-lesson on dealing with weight gain. This is how you set yourself up to be neutral with your body and create confidence, freedom, and ease in your life today, next month, and for the rest of your life. #1-Nothing has gone wrong It’s expected and normal that you gain weight after dieting. Research is clear: the #1 predictor of weight gain is having been on a diet. Your body didn’t wrong you. You didn’t get lazy. So stop the mental self-torture and make a choice: Go back on a diet and commit to being on it for the rest of your life; otherwise, you’ll regain the weight AGAIN. (NB-I can’t help with this choice… preferable that you unsubscribe to my emailing you as this will only be more torture for you.) Accept that controlling the amount of fat your body is NOT in your control and move to step 2. #2-Weight acceptance doesn’t mean giving up Accepting your body weight simply means focusing on what you can actually control. It means making your life a lot easier by reducing th

Do you remember being told to be a “good girl” when you were young? And praised for being a “good girl” and punished for not being a good girl? Although socialized very early on as women, to be a good girl this socialization is done with good intentions but it leaves grown-up women struggling and in pain. We are told to be: sexy, but not sexual; skinny, but not to be healthy; smart, but not too smart. The contradictory messages are seemingly endless. We have this duality within us... this need to be a “good girl” while needing to be autonomous, smart and independent as adult women. It’s a contradiction we carry within us that we think is abnormal.... a sign that something is wrong with us. Yet nothing is wrong... we were just socialized to something we cannot be. Being a “good girl” is an impossible standard to achieve leaving us confused, doubting ourselves, and in cycles of shame.
