In a world that is so obsessed with being thin, it feels like an endless upstream battle to eat without guilt and feel good about one's body. You're probably exhausted, I'm exhausted. I'm also tired of seeing my patients struggle and I'm exhausted hearing about doctors pushing ozempic/weight loss on my patients.
In this ep, I talk about how I feel about my industry, how hopeless it can feel sometimes, and why I'll be pausing this podcast for now.
For 7-8 years of my 20s my self-worth revolved around my body, food was my obsession. Now that I'm in my early 30s, my obsession has transferred over to career and financial success. Living in a big city (Silicon Valley), it feels like all that matters is your job title, career progression and financial status. It feels like diet culture, trying to be better, do more, like nothing is enough.
If you want to follow me in this next chapter where I tackle this desire to success and not get left behind financially, then I invite you to...My new YOUTUBE channel! @elisezliu

What you'll find on my new Youtube channel:
Feeling left behind financially at 31 & how I built 3 streams of income (earnings, is it worth it?!)

How solo traveling in Bali changed me (poop anxiety, long flights, burnout cure?)

Shame causes us to feel less than, different, not good enough. It causes us to feel one degree of separation from the person we think is better than us in some way (success, money, intelligence, appearance, etc.
"I am lesser than the other person or other people, and I am on the outside looking in." - Joanne Kim
Today I have on Joanne Kim, a therapist-turned Feelings Translator who helps Highly Sensitive Persons turn their BIGGEST feelings into their GREATEST superpower! The people who work with her are often the first (or only) person in their family or communities to intuitively process and express feelings; consequently, they are often judged or criticized so that they learn to people-please, placate, or perform until they hit a wall. When Joanne shares about her approach to working with feelings, the #1 response she gets is, "Why didn't they teach me this in school?!?" Grab the free guide "The BIG Feeler First Aid Kit" to learn how to navigate your feelings when they show up when you least expect (or want) them! www.IntelligentEmotions.com/FirstAidKit You can find Joanne on Instagram: www.instagram.com/intelligentemotions LINKS AND RESOURCES Take the Quiz – Is Intuitive Eating Right for YOU?

"We live in a very cognitive society. We're cerebral, we talk, but there's still this approach of thought forward existence versus listening to what our bodies are actually saying."
-Romi
Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Romi Cumes, an incredible Somatic therapist based out in Santa Barbara.
Somatic psychology - what is it you may ask. It is understanding how the body works and what is happening underneath the psyche that's actually leading to that.
Some of us can have some rigidity and then it manifests in other areas of the body too - tense shoulders for example. With anger, we can start to feel it in the trapezius and in the shoulders, which is really where a lot gets stored. So that's something to notice. How many of you are listening to what your body is saying to you?
Romi helps individuals get in touch with the lived experience of the body in order to identify, explore, and ultimately transform stuck patterns and energy so they become more capable of living happy, balanced lives.
Romi draws from over twenty years of healing arts experience and spiritual studies. She utilizes various techniques that include mindfulness and sensation-focused awareness. By focusing on body awareness, it helps to ground ourselves during moments of tension and reactivity, regulate the nervous system, and to learn from and heal long-held pain and body armor.

Are you an immigrant or child of immigrants? If you've ever thought "I deserve to be stuck, I’m not allowed to be who I am, I hate my body", this is the episode for you.
Today I have on Anny who offers therapy to those who have struggled during their childhoods finally find peace and fulfillment in their adulthoods, with a focus on immigrants and children of immigrants. She is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and online throughout California and her works helps to:
Transform one's relationship to internalized shame, rejection, and criticism Better understand the different parts of yourselfPersonal note: the turning point in my relationship with food was when I first started to see a therapist and uncovered the layers of emotions buried deep around my family, and growing up as an immigrant.
"Befriend the part of you that hates your body"
-Anny
Sometimes we want to throw away certain parts of ourselves, we let certain parts go into hiding, but in order to feel at peace with ourselves, it's time to embrace all of the parts within us. So that you don't feel like running away from yourself and going towards food.

Why would mother nature make it easy for us to lose weight, so that we can just wither away??...
EliseIn this ep, we talk:
what the body loves more than homeostasis is having more fat cells for survival so it's natural for us to gain weight as we age your metabolism can go into sleep mode when on a diet anti-weight loss mechanisms kick in as a protective mechanism it’s not your fault that you’ve gained weight, weight is something much more out of our control that we thinkAnother diet is not the answer. What actually works based on my experience working with clients.
Is what you're doing enjoyable? Is what you’re doing easy? additive mindset vs restrictive mindsetBut what if your doctor is telling you to lose weight... No one should be able to tell you what to do. You get to trust yourself. You know how to take care of yourself and your body. And if you don’t know how to do so in the best way possible, there are therapists and dietitians that can help.

SPOILERS AHEAD
"He's literally trapped himself in his body. At one point he disregarded that he had a body. He no longer cared. He didn't feel like he deserved any better".
In today's episode, I share my thoughts on this gut wrenching movie and what it means for all of us.
how low self-esteem causes us to self sabotage the negative spiral of disappointing yourself over and over again what do you feel you deserve why someone may be burying themselves alive with food/binge eating how grief, remorse, regret, low self esteem, self hatred can cause us to binge why someone may not be able to stop eating how much do youu value yourself and your own happiness/health how many patients of mine are like Charlie how guilt/shame causes binges how judgement of others, feeling disgusting causes more self sabotage can we really be healthy at ANY sizeIn his last days, the main character Charlie wanted to do things differently, change his beliefs, and make things right.
It's always possible to believe new things, build up our own self esteem by doing the things that matter, and in turn feel more deserving of good tthings. We have a whole life ahead of us. Imagine spending the majority of our days believing that we're good people, that we can do good for the world, that we can say true to our words, that we deserve more. Had Charlie done that earlier, he probably would have felt better about himself and perhaps gotten the support that he needed.

In today's episode, I talk about why you're feeling stuck and I have a feeling it has to do with your need to do everything perfectly. Whenever we think about new habits, we have lofty ideas of doing it everyday (i.e. journaling, sleeping earlier, moving daily, eating more veggies, etc).
