Ever wondered what comes after the world of food and fitness? If you're adjusting to life beyond the labels of 'health nut' or 'fitness enthusiast,' you're in the right place. 

 

Today, I’m sitting down with Ine-Wilme Coetzee, a pro cellist, and coach, to discuss the the surprising connections between our worlds. We’re chatting about how learning a new skill (like playing the cello) can help you build confidence in all areas of life – including the part where you’re working hard to heal your relationship with food. 

 

Ine is also diving into the neuroscience of learning new skills, the joy it brings, and its impact on mental and emotional well-being. I know she’s going to inspire you to get your brave on and try something new so you can dig deep and find a new sense of passion and identity beyond the diet mindset!

If the word 'fit' makes you feel less than, you're not alone.

 

I recently ran a poll about this on Instagram, and the responses left me heartbroken. 

 

For many, fitness isn’t about joyful movement and fun goals. It’s about striving for an ideal that makes them feel like crap in comparison. 

 

And that is NOT something I want to get behind. 

 

Join me today for a raw and honest chat about this poll and how it’s convicted me in the best way.

Today, I’m sitting down with Jeff Ash, the awesome host of the Men's Intuition Podcast. As an intuitive eating coach, husband, and father Jeff has a unique perspective on the often overlooked way that men are impacted by diet culture. 

 

Listen in as Jeff and I discuss: 

 

  • His backstory – how he found intuitive eating through Ellen Satter's DOR

  • How body image struggles can manifest differently for men compared to women 

  • How to approach the topic of intuitive eating with the man in your life and communicate the support you need 

  • His best tips for helping your kids develop a healthy relationship with food 

 

Let's put an end to the myth that diet culture only targets women. The truth is, we're all in this together, and by having eye-opening conversations, we can drive real change. Food freedom and body respect are rights for everyone, regardless of gender. It's time to stand united for a healthier and more inclusive world.

Curious about your sweet spot? Worried about what this means for you if you’re aiming to lose weight? This episode is for you! Listen in as I explain weight set point theory and how it can help you find food and body freedom.
