'Tis the season to smash down diet culture... and if we want that, we need to understand the roots of the holiday season so that we can smash down the roots of oppression. "Indulgence” is rooted in diet culture – it makes you feel bad for enjoying holiday foods and it sets you up for eating out of control. It is a stepping stone on the path to binging because this mentality towards food is tied up in your self-worth and body image. What you'll learn listening to this episode on 'tis the season (to smash down diet culture): The origin of the holiday season & how it became commercialized How holiday norms perpetuate patriarchal ideals Why holiday “indulgence” is harmful to your self-worth How to bring awareness to diet culture during the holidays Mentioned in the show: Undiet Your Life School Podcast Roadmap Rebellious Eating Solution Masterclass Connect with our guest: Podcast - Unyime Instagram - Unyime Facebook - Unyime

Do you often answer the question “How are you doing?” with “I’m just so busy....” The thoughts that want to validate the fact that you’re too busy, that there’s not enough time, are coming from the exact same place in your brain that criticizes your body, that criticize your food choices.

We are celebrating the 300th episode of our podcast and entering our 6th year! Woot Woot! So, this is a special episode: Chapter 6 of She’s Beyond The Food: My personal story. For most of my life, I misunderstood acceptance. I have to admit today, I was wrong. I used to believe that acceptance meant being resigned and giving up. I was socialized to believe that self-acceptance meant being passive in the face of my life and somehow lazy. The pain and suffering that I attributed to my body not being the right size and my inability to control what I ate were in fact due to the resistance I had to accept my body. The truth is that accepting myself for who I am today in my now body in today’s world is audacious. Self-acceptance is counter-culture. It’s an act of bravery and it took courage. Today, I know I’m a complex human being, an imperfect human being capable of making mistakes as well as significant accomplishments. When we embrace the audacity of acceptance, we move from fixing to creating. We begin spending

Decolonizing diet culture and our approach to non-diet coaching is essential for the healing of all of our clients and it’s goes beyond simply white people’s food. Diet culture centers on the white narrative of what is “healthy”.

What you'll learn listening to this episode:  How white culture sets the “standard” in diet culture  Why our language around culture & food matters  How to support clients whose culture is erased in diet culture  Tips for coaches to decolonize diet culture in practice  Links mentioned in the show: Non-Diet Professional Mentorship Program Free Professional Training & Resources Connect with our guests: Podcast - Unyime Instagram - Unyime Facebook - Unyime Instagram - Jin Website - Tara Instagram - Tara Facebook - Tara Website - Marissa Instagram - Marissa Facebook - Marissa

Wishing Thinking is when you want something to be true even when it’s not true, like the fantasy of the thin ideal. Think of all the years we pursue dieting… The endless “on and off” diet cycle always landing right back in the same place. Wishful Thinking is the formation of beliefs based on what might be pleasing to imagine rather than on reality, evidence, FACTS. It’s is usually grown from fear. We don’t resort to Wishful Thinking because it works. We resort to Wishful Thinking because it allows us to avoid confronting our fear. Wishful Thinking is the trap that prevents you from seeing the reality that food restriction doesn’t work, and all bodies are good bodies. The solution is objective Thinking. What you'll learn listening to this episode: How Wishful Thinking presents itself in our lives  The companion to wishful Thinking; Magical Thinking  The illusion of diet culture  The power of objective Thinking Mentioned in the show: Podcast Roadmap Ask Stephanie Anything Live Webinar Registration  Undiet

I want you to think of the process of undieting your brain of all the diet culture thoughts and beliefs, like Marie Kondioing your mind.  Undiet Your Life is the act of decluttering your mind from all the thoughts that are no longer serving you, that no longer spark joy, happiness, and ease for you.  You’ve picked thoughts all along your life, and up until now, you have kept them. Now, you have a mind filled with thoughts that create anxiety, perfectionism, black-and-white thinking, and fear.  Thoughts are like the clutter Marie Kondo is coaching people to purge… You can purge your old thoughts too.    WHAT YOU’LL LEARN LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE:  Why Marie Kondo is such a brilliant analogy for undieting your brain  Learning to respect your old thoughts  How to declutter your mind  Developing a critical lens for intentional thinking MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: PODCAST ROADMAP REBELLIOUS EATING SOLUTION MASTERCLASS UNDIET YOUR LIFE COURSE

Undieting your life doesn’t mean stopping dieting. Although stopping dieting is the first step.  I hosted a workshop yesterday The Rebellious Eating Solution and the Q&A part of the class was on fire!

Thru their body women are asked to comply with society's prescribed norms. Body compliance defines, controls, and constrains women.  As women, we learn to perform via our bodies. We demonstrated our ability to be self-disciplined, self-controlled, and to comply with social norms via body constraint.  As a result, we learn not to disturb and take space through our bodies. That it is its size or its sign of aging. Body compliance and beyond  At first, it's compliance with our body, but it spreads quickly to many other aspects of our life:  Need to perform at work  People-pleasing our way through a relationship  Being productive at all times...  Compliance becomes a way of life for many women.  We aim to comply not to stand out and feel the judgment of others. Compliance becomes a safety net that spreads through our life.   What you'll learn listening to this episode:  The history of body compliance for women  The link between compliance and safety  The Intersection between grind culture and diet culture  How

Rebellious eating is when we use food and/or eating in order to resist authority. In fact, it's an action to affirm one's power of food, body, or existence. Rebellious eating is not about the food... it's about resisting authority over us. Rebellious eating is about fighting for our autonomy and agency. When we eat rebelliously, We're actually restoring our autonomy and protecting our boundaries. Rebellious eating allows us to reclaim our power. What you'll learn listening to this episode: What is rebellious eating How does it show up in different stages of undieting your life What are you rebelling against? The solution to rebellious eating is counterintuitive Mentioned in the show: Rebellious Eating Solution Masterclass Podcast Roadmap  Undiet Your Life

Most often, when women start their journey beyond dieting, it’s because they want to overcome compulsive eating behaviors like binging or what they self-describe as “overeating.”  They have learned that restriction is causing these compulsive eating behaviors, so they quit dieting... but is it the solution? Is it the only action that needs to be taken in order to end compulsion around food? That’s what we discussed on today’s podcast. If perhaps you are at this point where even though you have lifted the restriction and still struggling with "overeating," binging & diet culture this is a must-listen! What you’ll learn listening to this episode: The link between restriction and compulsive eating behavior What most people miss when it comes to compulsive eating behavior Why making peace with food is not the ultimate solution for binging, overeating or any compulsive behaviors. The belief that is fundamentally holding your back from eating “normally.” Mentioned in the show: Podcast Roadmap  Undiet Your Lif

Are you a very logical woman who perhaps uses her brain capacity to succeed at work yet struggles with her relationship to food & body?

Diet culture beliefs do not support your amazingness, your goodness and your brilliance. Diet Culture has been manufactured in order to create self-doubt in women, feeling of victimhood, distrust of self and disempowerment. In order to believe in yourself and the possibilities that can be present for you in your life, you need to have beliefs that support this amazingness, goodness that is in you now. And these beliefs aren’t shared by Diet Culture. How do we get to believe in ourselves more than diet culture? That’s what we are going to explore in this episode of our podcast. What you’ll learn listening to this episode: The diet culture beliefs that stop you from believing in yourself The process of deepening your self-beliefs Believing it’s possible for you to change 10 non-diet culture beliefs that can transform your life Mentioned on the show: Podcast Roadmap  Undiet Your Life

Today, we are sharing stories and unpacking one of the most common beliefs women share: the belief that we are not good enough. And very often, controlling our bodies and beauty are the tools offered to us in order to access our self-worth and confidence, always selling us with the promise that we will feel good enough when we get to the “right body” size and beauty. Although I consider myself a confident woman today, it hasn’t always been this way. Diet culture conditioning and the pursuit of the thin ideal kept me from accessing what was a fact: my innate worth. I was chasing externally what was already present internally. Our guest expert today Vanessa Preston will help navigate our way back to confidence and feeling good enough. Vanessa will help us navigate the path back to feeling good enough.
