073. Shift Your Focus from Weight Loss to Healthful Behaviours
How has the focus on weight loss worked out for you so far? Does it actually “work” in the long run? Or do you end up “falling off the wagon” and right back into that dreaded diet-binge cycle?
If trying to focus on losing weight is making you feel like you want to bang your head against the wall, this episode is for you! I’m diving into how you can go about achieving health, wellness, happiness, confidence, etc. without having weight loss be the goal. (Hint: yes, all of that IS possible)
In this episode, we chat about:
- A reflection for you on your dieting or weight loss journey
- The never ending diet-binge cycle
- Why weight loss isn’t the solution to all your problems or desires
- My ‘Feeling First’ approach to health
- Getting to the root of why you want weight loss
- How to figure out what healthful behaviours to take that align with your goals
- A long list of ideas of healthful behaviours that you can take

Anxiety. Perfectionism. Low-self esteem. These are all things you may have experienced along your food freedom journey (I know I have!).

070. Anti-Diet Does Not Mean Anti-Health
I’ll take any opportunity to call out diet culture BS when I see it. The recent Washington Post article “As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice” has quite frankly p*ssed me off, and I want to talk about it with you! There is a large systemic issue at hand when it comes to Intuitive Eating, Health At Every Size (HAES), and weight-inclusive non-diet work. Biased publications, like the Washington Post, are spreading ignorant and misinformed information about what “anti-diet” really means.
This makes me the most frustrated because I can only imagine how confusing it must be to see headlines like this when you are someone who is trying to pursue your relationship with food & body healing journey. So in this episode, I want to set the record straight. Let’s dive into some big myth busting about anti-diet work!
I chat with you about:
- The recent Washington Post article on “anti-diet dietitians”
- What people often get wrong when they think about anti-diet or intuitive eating
- How anti-diet does NOT mean eating twinkies in unlimited amounts
- Anti-diet DOES mean improving your well-being – physical, mental, emotional, overall!
- What Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, weight-inclusive care, anti weight bias, etc. are really about
- How oppressive, inequitable, and harmful weight-centric ways of approaching health can be
- Restrictive diets often leading to weight cycling and/or disordered eating, or even eating disorders
- How a surface-level look at intuitive eating is not helpful, it’s very nuanced
- To not rely on social media solely for support in your health & well-being
- And so so much more.

066. I Was Craving Vegetables. Is That Even Possible?! Intuitive Eating IRL Example
Have you ever thought it was nearly *impossible* to actually CRAVE veggies? I used to think the same. I craved the sweets all the time – the chips, the chocolate, the cookies, the ice cream… but how could I possibly crave vegetables?
Back when my past self was on-and-off diets, non-stop eating sweets into the evening, and trying to be as “good” as possible during the day, I didn't think anyone could actually want to eat more vegetables. But last weekend I was really craving veggies. And I want to chat with you about it!
This episode is a good example of what intuitive eating can look like in real life. I’m sharing a lot about where I used to be and how I got to this point where I can feel so at peace with all foods, that I actually crave vegetables.
I chat with you about:
- What my life looked like when I was stuck in the diet-binge cycle
- My negative past relationship with food
- How things changed for me and what life looks like now in my intuitive eater era
- My now positive relationship with food
- Why I was craving vegetables
- What was going through my mind and how I responded to the “craving” for veggies
- How this is very different than the diet mentality

052. Human Design as a Tool for Building Self Trust with Rowan Asad
Self trust. Something that is so important to living a full, authentic, intuitive life, but is also something that can be super tricky to foster. Especially when we may have gone years and years with dieting and breaking our self trust by “not sticking to the plan” or “eating unhealthy” or whatever other messages you’ve learned to believe from diet culture.
Dieting erodes our self trust. But don’t fret – choosing a more intuitive path and healing your relationship with food and with yourself allows you to rebuild that self trust. Even better yet is using different tools and modalities to rebuild and foster a greater sense of self trust. Tools like human design! In this episode, we’re chatting with human design expert Rowan Asad. This is a juicy one!
We chat about:
- What human design really is
- How to figure out your human design
- Using human design to rebuild self-trust
- Intuition and self compassion
- The different energy types and authorities of human design (don’t worry we cover what the heck that means too, haha!)
- Some fun things like how digestion, environment, and much more
- And of course, how all of this relates to your intuitive eating journey

050. Combining Intuitive Eating + Mindset Work for Deep Transformation
What causes us to do the things we do? Get the results we get? And feel the way we feel? It’s a little bit of a complex answer, but a big piece of this puzzle boils down to our mindset.
If you know a thing or two about me, it’s no surprise to you that I LOVE all things mindset work. I totally like to geek out on why our minds do what they do, the foundations of neuroscience, how to change our limiting beliefs, and more, all in the pursuit of being able to live the lives that our souls deep down truly desire. And build the relationship with food that allows us to live the lives we’re meant to.
In this episode, I’m going to chat with you about why and how I combine intuitive eating and mindset work together to help folks like you see impactful and lasting changes in their relationships with food.
We will chat about:
- How I combine intuitive eating + mindset work together
- What kinds of tools of mindset work I love to use
- Thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and core beliefs
- Why taking a look at your mindset is so dang important on a food freedom journey
- How to actually change your behaviours

047. Freedom with Food, Movement, and Body: Merrill’s Journey
✨ Apply to Embodied Food Freedom here ✨
Have you found yourself in the place of wanting to jump into an intuitive eating journey, but feeling fearful of not knowing what would happen to your weight? Maybe you still want to lose weight, but at the same time, you know that you don’t want to keep fighting your body anymore.
Meet Merrill, a graduate of the Embodied Food Freedom group coaching program. Before she joined, her journey started as being a binge eater since she was a pre-teen, trying to do all the “right” things with eating, being stuck in the comparison trap to others, what they ate & their bodies, feeling so entrenched in diet culture, and just not feeling comfortable or in control around food. While working through the FREEdom Method in the EFF program, Merrill was able to change her relationship with food to look more like: eating intuitively, not feeling guilty about food, knowing what to do if the inner food police voice does creep in, ditching the scale and external validation from it, found joy in movement again, and so much more!
If you can at all relate to those struggles or shifts, please take episodes like this one where we chat about someone’s real-life-journey as an example that YOU can do this too.
We chat about:
- The fears Merrill had before joining EFF
- How much diet culture impacts our entire lives
- This food freedom journey not being a “perfect” one, and how there’s no final destination, but great life-changing shifts along the way
- The journey to ditching the scale
- Taking her power back with food, movement & her body image
- How she shifted to having less food-related stress, thoughts, and urgency
- What Merrill loved about the EFF program
- And her advice for YOU!

034. 10 Sneaky Signs You're Still 'Dieting' Without Knowing It
Are you still struggling to break free from the diet culture mentality? Do you find yourself engaging in "clean" eating or using phrases like "cheat" days or weekends? If so, you might be unknowingly holding onto sneaky forms of dieting that are preventing you from truly achieving food freedom. In this episode, I chat with you about the sneaky ways that diet culture can still impact our relationships with food, even if we think we've left our dieting mentality behind.
We’ll chat about the 10 common signs that you might still be dieting without realizing it, such as:
- Focusing on "clean" eating
- Doing extreme challenges like 75 Hard
- Using phrases like "cheat" days or weekends
- Saving up calories for nights out or events
- + more!
I also share alternative mindset shifts for each of these behaviours for you to make impactful change in your relationship with food. It’s so important to let go of restriction and tune into our body's needs to get to a place of true food freedom. The ultimate goal is to break free from the diet-binge cycle and find a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food. Who’s with me?!

033. How to Dress Confidently at Any Body Size with Dacy Gillespie
Do you struggle not knowing what to wear? Feel like you can’t find clothes that truly fit your body and feel unique to you? Does the media influence your personal style or does your body type not feel well represented in clothing brands? Chime into this podcast to hear how you can embody your true self through fashion!
This week’s guest Dacy Gillespie, Personal Stylist and Owner of Mindful Closet, discusses how to dress confidently at any body size and break free from any fashion “rules” that limit one’s self expression.
We go deep into:
- How unlearning and relearning beliefs around food AND clothes is an essential part of the journey
- How feeling comfortable in your clothes can impact your confidence and how you feel in your body
- Top tips for finding your personal style and clothing confidence
- How to remove the fear of spending money on clothes and what to do if you can't afford new clothes right now
- Clothing tips for bad body image days and how to let go of clothes that no longer fit or serve you
A question that I’m LOVING from Dacy in this episode is, “If you didn’t have limiting beliefs about what you could wear, what would you WANT to wear?” By squashing societies standards and “rules” for fashion and our bodies - we can truly find our own personal style, express ourselves freely and be our truest selves, no matter our body’s size. Now let’s fight against the “body ideals” and narratives and create body respect, together!
