    Ep 33. Buddhism and Intuitive Eating with Jenna Hollenstein

    Intuitive Eating is an incredible approach for people seeking to heal their relationships with food and their bodies. But it's not without its challenges. In this episode I speak with the wonderful Jenna Hollenstein, who brings years of experience as a non-diet dietitian and meditation teacher to the table to help us understand how to tolerate the discomfort that so often arises in one's journey into intuitive eating. 

    We talk about:


    What do meditation and Buddhism have to offer those on the Intuitive eating path?The importance of eating enoughHow one starts to make peace with food, and challenge food rules that seem second natureWhat is interoception, and why is it important? The co-opting of mindfulness The difference between doing this work as self-improvement VS doing it as self careIntuitive eating and mindfulness can be doorways into a pleasure practice

    Ep 32. Moontime Nutrition Part 2: Nourishing Your Pre-Ovulatory Phase

    Ep 32. Moontime Nutrition Part 2: Nourishing Your Pre-Ovulatory Phase

    The Pre-Ovulatory Phase or "Inner Spring" starts from the cessation of menstrual bleeding to a few days before ovulation. In a typical 28-day cycle, this approximately corresponds to day 6 until day 11.  This phase has traditionally been seen as a time of dynamism, of rising energy levels and growing confidence. Here are my top tips for deeply nourishing yourself during this phase, nutritionally and otherwise. 
    This is second in a series of FIVE on nourishing yourself throughout your entire hormonal cycle.

    Ep 30. Bonus Sample: The Cacao Cacophony - Deconstructing a pseudo-spiritual experience

    What do you get when you combine a cacao ceremony, hypoxia-inducing breathwork, a bunch of influences from disparate spiritual cultures, partner yoga with intrusive eye-gazing, and really loud music? All that culturally appropriated pseudo-spiritual jazz, otherwise known as The Modern Spiritual Experience.

    Ep 29. Overcoming Elitism and Racism in Yoga with Dianne Bondy

    Ep 29. Overcoming Elitism and Racism in Yoga with Dianne Bondy

    The 8 limbs of yoga fundamentally support anti-racism, diversity, and body acceptance - and yet yoga in the west has been largely inaccessible to anyone who isn’t white, wealthy, thin, and able-bodied. In this episode I speak with the incredible Dianne Bondy, and she delivers truth-bombs with her characteristic vivacious spirit!

    We talk about the commodification and cultural misappropriation of yoga, performative activism, anti-racism in yoga, and ways we can decolonise yoga in the west and finally make it accessible for people who have historically been denied access to these life-affirming practices.
