I’m bringing it back to where we started. When I first started my podcast I had so many episodes around the issues that many people face with food and body and I wanted to circle back to some that had been on my mind recently. Today I am talking about emotional eating and the three things that it’s teaching you. I share why your relationship to food is a blessing and being compassionate toward yourself when healing your relationship with food. This episode will help you to discover how to feel both pain and joy at the same time and effectively move through what you're feeling. 

Inside this episode:

• My journey of starting Hungry for Happiness
• Why so many people use food as a drug
• Why your relationship with food is a blessing
• The top three things that your emotional eating is teaching you
• How to feel the pain and experience joy at the same time

On today’s solo jam, I’m going to be chatting with you about fear. What do you feel in your body when you say the word “fear”? What reacts in your body? We’re going to talk about how fear is a part of all of our journeys, how fearlessness is a myth, changing our relationship to fear, & the importance of dialoguing with your body. My hope for you is that you uncover where in your life you are letting fear paralyze you and that you will be able to move forward in life in spite of feeling the fear.

Inside this episode:

• The question I get about being fearless
• Why fear is an incredible part of life
• Changing our relationship to fear
• When fear becomes truth
• Dialoguing with your body, not fear
• Why the most productive thing we can do is nothing at all
• Not waiting until you’re fearless to make a move
• Uncovering in your life where fear is holding you back

Today on the show I’m bringing it back old school. I’m bringing it back to a concept that is so present in the Hungry for Happiness community. We’ve talked about it on the show before but I wanted to do a brand new episode on this as the concept is growing and there are so many new people in our community.  This point of value is something that we can all come together and shift and that is our relationship to our body.

Inside this episode, I share:

• That the body positivity movement needs to embrace individual truths and desires
• Why we need to start from a place of acceptance, not denial
• The importance of identifying the outcome you want
• Why you need to be honest with yourself moving into transformation
• How to allow the journey to feel like the destination
