  • This episode discusses the nuances between body positivity and body satisfaction, highlighting the issue of conflating body image with true satisfaction and well-being. The conversation, led by Stephanie Dodier, a non-diet nutritionist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and cognitive behavioral coach, along with guest Brie Campos, a licensed mental health counselor, delves into the origins of the body positivity movement and its transformation over time. They critique the diet culture's co-opting of body positivity, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of body image and its impact on individuals' mental health and self-esteem.

    The discussion unpacks the misguided equating of health with thinness and challenges societal norms around body image, advocating for a shift from external motivations to intrinsic self-esteem and personal well-being. They propose self-esteem work detached from physical appearance as a solution to the limitations of the body positivity movement, focusing on empowerment, autonomy, and a broader perspective of health that encompasses mental, emotional, and psychological dimensions.

    What you'll learn listening to this episode: The true definition and origins of body positivity, and how it has been misinterpreted Why body positivity alone is not an effective solution for healing our relationship with our bodies The importance of rebuilding self-esteem and redefining our worth beyond physical appearance The difference between "having to" and "wanting to" when it comes to self-care and wellness The understanding that body image work is a lifelong journey, requiring ongoing self-exploration and growth Mentioned in the show:

  • The parallels between diet culture and the “traditional ways” women are taught to engage with money are too plentiful.

    Over the years of working with women on intuitive eating and body image, it has become evident to me that working on a money mindset was the next step for my clients.

  • The #1 health habit for women that no one considers but that has the greatest impact on our well being is the habit of cultivating a kind, compassion and loving inner narrative.

    How we talk in the secrecy of our mind generates the feelings we experience towards ourselves. The range of emotions we experience then generate our behaviors.

    The #1 health habit for women

    Otherwise, our health habits are generated from the way we feel about ourselves. For many of us who have been under the influence of diet culture the way we think and feel about ourselves isn’t very productive and too often leads to self-sabotage instead of self-motivation.

  • Anything we teach inside Undiet Your Life is counterculture and revolutionary because that’s what we need as women socialized to diet & wellness culture to liberate ourselves and create our best life.

    And how we think about health-promoting habits also needs to change.

    Shift #1 Health is not a moral obligation

    Contrary to what diet & wellness culture and may have taught you, health is not a moral obligation, just like being in a particular body size or weight.

    You are free to decide how and if you will pursue health.

    This shift is most important in our ability to experience ease in creating new health behaviors. Moving from “I have to” to “I choose to” moves us into being in a position of autonomy and power over our reality.

    Shift #2- Health is more than physical health

    As women socialize to the thin ideal, we have been socialized that we are our body and that our health is the outcome of our physical body. That leads to poor mental and emotional health resulting in challenging behavioral patterns.

    Health comprises four bodies: Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical. All equally important and worthy of the investment of our resources

    Shift #3 Health is not a destination

    When we move away from health as a signal of our worthiness, we can appreciate our health as a resource.

    Health is a state of adaptation that allows you to adequately cope with all demands of daily life AND create your best life, the one you choose to live.

  • Intergenerational Dieting: Mother-Daughter Relationship

    Studies have found that women who began dieting at early ages were more likely to have daughters who would engage in binging or have problems with eating. These mothers were also more likely than other women to agree, when asked, that their daughters should lose weight.

    That’s my story. I learned dieting with my many ants and mom. So what happen when you stop dieting and are on the journey to accepting your body and she’s not?

    That is what we explore today, Dr. Morgan Francis. She’s a former dieter and now a mom of 3 who specializes in the treatment of body image, sexual health, relationships, self-empowerment, and eating disorders.

  • Being different in a world that thrives on conformity can be hard and cause a lot of suffering.

    Have you ever thought: “but I felt much more confident when my body was smaller!”

    When confidence is shaken by the size of your body, it’s not confidence you were experiencing: it was the safety of compliance.

    You felt safe because you had the thought you were protected from your fear of judgment and rejection.

    The Safety of Conformity
