We’re sharing a preview of another podcast we love, The Happiness Lab. On The Happiness Lab, Dr. Laurie Santos explores all the ways we get our happiness wrong and what we can do to really feel better. She walks through the latest evidence-based strategies for improving your mental health, sharing practical advice on what will really bring more joy. In her latest New Year season of The Happiness Lab, Laurie tackles how to listen to the inner voice of what we really need in the new year. At the start of a new year, we're often bombarded with fad diets, fasting plans and nutritional advice that we can bounce from one way of eating to another without stopping to think: “What do I want to eat?” Psychotherapist Andrea Wachter endured years of disordered eating and obsessing about her weight, until she decided to heed her inner voice and what her body wanted to consume. She explains to Laurie how so-called intuitive eating can free us from both diets and overeating. Hear more from The Happiness Lab at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/thls6?sid=rebel.

Virgie Tovar and Isabel Foxen Duke answer listener questions about how to leave diet culture behind.

It can seem impossible to break out of the cycle of dieting and binging, but health coach Isabel Foxen Duke found the key at the end of what she calls her “final binge.” And the answer isn’t more dieting! Virgie and Isabel talk about “radical hopelessness,” why Nutella is the ultimate anti-diet food, and why dieting - not binging - is the real coping mechanism.

Virgie talks with disability justice advocate Alex Locust (aka Glamputee) about dating and intimacy. They discuss what fat liberation and disability justice teach us about interdependence, and Alex shares why they have started saying they're "horny for healing."

Virgie and Summer Michaud-Skog talk about fat erasure from fitness spaces, the new (fat positive!) rules of hiking, and the simple joy of petting moss.

Parenting coach Ginny Jones talks with Virgie about how parents can learn how to raise food-positive kids — and how we all can heal after growing up in a fatphobic or food-restrictive environment.
