Can we truly say goodbye when the journey has been this fulfilling? As we celebrate our 100th episode of the Satisfaction Factor podcast, we look back with pride and gratitude on three transformative years of meaningful conversations about body liberation and the relentless dismantling of diet culture. We've reached a point where our personal and professional lives have evolved, and the time feels right to conclude this chapter. We've always believed in the power of an "intuitive ending," and it’s with this philosophy that we embrace this transition, knowing we've achieved our original aspirations.
Podcasting has been a voyage of unexpected joys, surprises, and deep connections. Our listeners have joined us in this enriching exploration, and we've cherished every moment of learning together.
As we wrap up this journey, we fondly reminisce about our favorite episodes and the humor found in even the harshest one-star reviews. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we encourage you to continue engaging with us through our social media channels and websites. Though this is a farewell to the podcast, the connection we've built is far from over. Thank you for riding with us on this incredible journey; your unwavering support has truly been the satisfaction factor in this adventure.Stay in touch with the pod on IG @satisfactionfactorpod!

Often when we talk about Intuitive Eating with new people or on social media, we hear variations of "I'd love to eat intuitively, but I can't because..." The end of that sentence is sometimes about weight loss, sometimes about health concerns, or sometimes about something completely different. So this week, we're talking about who gets to practice Intuitive Eating! We're digging into all the nuances of whether or not Intuitive Eating is really for everyone, including: whether you need to lose weight first; whether you can practice Intuitive Eating if you have a medical condition; how Intuitive Eating might work for folks in eating disorder recovery; and whether Intuitive Eating is actually accessible for folks from marginalized communities or who are experiencing financial insecurity or food insecurity.
