Podcast 45- Solo Podcast.
Stream of consciousness, I share my journey from self-loathing to self-love and how uncoiling emotions from my food choices helped not only heal my condition but maintain my health. My emotional relationship with food was fueled by my disconnection from my body. Tending to my body through illness taught me how to love myself and stop comparing and judging my only amazing body. I hope you enjoy this quick podcast. It is hard to put out this information as it feels intensely vulnerable. But it is worth it if this can help you or someone you love. My highest calling isn't my comfort zone but to help my community. Enjoy.
My next 12 week group begins May 3rd. You can learn more here.

In episode 42, Karen Hurd and I chat about all things peri-menopause. I have been educating myself rabidly for the past 5 years in anticipation of this transition. I wanted to plan, prepare, and mentally grow into this space that I would soon inhabit and live in for the rest of my days. I also wanted to take responsibility for this transition and make changes to maintain health and wellness through a ( potentially) turbulent time. I loved every minute of this chat with my mentor of 11+ years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Episode 34: Dr. Anita Johnston joins me to discuss the root cause of disordered eating and how to heal through story and metaphor. I struggled with an eating disorder in high school. I couldn't afford therapy then and felt ashamed about asking for help. I felt like I should know better. So I spent my free time alone in the library, educating myself about healing and food's role in my life. I slowly untangled the knot inside me and went into complete remission. It was nice to chat openly about my shadow with Dr. Johnston. She is a wealth of information and offers skilled guidance to those who seek it.
Anita Johnston, Ph.D., is a Depth Psychologist, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and author of Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationships with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling, which has been published in seven languages.
She is the co-creator of the Light of the Moon Café, an online resource with interactive and self-study courses for women around the world.
A pioneer in the field of eating psychology for over thirty-five years, she is currently the Founder and Executive Clinical Director of Ai Pono Hawaii*, which has a residential eating disorder treatment program on Maui.
Dr. Johnston provides virtual individual consultations and conducts workshops internationally. She is best known for integrating metaphor and storytelling into her training as a clinical psychologist to explain the complex issues that underlie struggles with eating and body image.
