It’s natural that as you learn to accept your body, the desire to express yourself becomes stronger. There are many ways you can do that; dance, singing, art and for some of us, it’s through our clothing.  Finding clothes that fit your body, wearing bold colors and patterns, and styles that you’re comfortable in can be a beautiful way to honor the fact that you deserve to take up space.  Listen to Liz from Rise Styling as she shares how she helps her clients use their style biology to help them take conscious style risks, build a wardrobe, and celebrate themselves daily. She also shares ways on how to do shopping after stopping dieting. She will also share that her personal journey in dressing more authentically has helped her be a better mom, a better partner, more compassionate to other people, become more articulate and less afraid to speak her mind.

“Just lose weight” “The pain would go away if your body weight wasn’t so heavy” “ This pain is a sign that your body isn’t healthy… you need to lose weight”. It doesn’t have to be this way. Healing chronic pain doesn’t have to be about weight loss and in fact, many forms of chronic pain will NOT be healed with weight loss. There are as many people with chronic pain in smaller bodies as in larger bodies… so if weight loss isn’t the solution, then what is? In this episode, we have guest expert Dr. Andrea Moore, Chronic Pain Specialist.  What you’ll learn listening to this episode on overcoming chronic pain with the non-diet approach: Why pain is a necessary experience for human The problem is not the pain but how we experience the pain Stephanie journey’s through Dr.Andrea’s process to overcome chronic pain.

Food was never the problem. The size of our pants was never the problem either. So why do we focus our healing approach on the actual food and body?

In today’s episode, I am sharing a message for anyone who identifies as fat and who is struggling with the size of their body, regardless of what pant size they are or how they relate to the BMI.  It’s unfair that society doesn’t welcome fat bodies. It’s unfair that regular everyday tasks are more challenging such as shopping for clothes or sitting at a restaurant booth, or that airplane seats don’t accommodate fat bodies.  Despite this unfairness, you have a choice. You have a choice to allow these hurdles to stop you from being who you are.  The reason I am sharing this message is so that you can see the possibility of what is on the other side of taking responsibility for how you experience fatphobia.  What you’ll learn listening to this episode on here is what I want every fat woman to know: The surprising truth about fatphobia Three simple steps to changing how you experience fatphobia  What’s possible for you when you choose how you’ll experience fatphobia Mentioned in the show:  Undiet Your Life Coac

In today’s episode, we are diving into the truth about why rebellious eating happens and how you can resolve it once and for all.  Have you attempted intuitive eating, hoping you would easily eat according to your hunger and fullness cues, only to end up with rebellious eating habits?  This is totally normal.  Contrary to what diet culture teaches, the solution to ending rebellious eating behaviours is not via willpower, self-discipline, or shameful tactics. Ending rebellious eating behaviours is possible when you take radical self-responsibility and shift your mindset toward food.  What you’ll learn listening to this episode: What rebellious eating habits are  Why rebellious eating happens  3 steps to creating peaceful eating habits  Mentioned in the show:  Rebellious Eating Training Undieted Health Habits Checklist Quiz: Is It You or Your Diet?

In today’s episode we are answering one of our community member’s questions; does intuitive eating REALLY work, and HOW??? We thought it was so good that we had to share it with everyone. Perhaps this question has been on your mind too or maybe you tried Intuitive Eating on your own in the past and thought you failed at it. First, know that you can’t fail at Intuitive Eating… Most people who have the perception that you can fail at eating intuitively misunderstand what Intuitive Eating is designed for. They often approach it with the same mindset they had when starting any past diet. The bottom line is that Intuitive Eating is beyond the food and requires a highly conscious commitment. The moment you decide to detangle your worth from your body and health behaviours, Intuitive Eating will work for you.

Today we are talking about money and I am sharing with you the 4 money shifts I made since opting out of diet culture that created more money and most important less work and more ease. Much of our corporate world has been conditioned by the patriarchy where it’s the men’s role to make money and women are to make men more money. Women are the caretakers, and the nurturers and thinking of themselves is selfish.  Scarcity money mindset is just another gift from diet culture. There are many parallels between diet culture and money mindset. To enjoy wealth would be indulgent. To enjoy food is indulgent. Many of us engage with money with fear just like we do with food and our bodies.  The good news is that money mindset work is almost the same as body image work so it’s going to a lot faster because you have already “been there, done that.” What you’ll learn listening to this episode on the 4 Money shifts I made since opting out of diet culture: The thoughts about money people that keep them stuck from making m
