    What Self Love Really Is And How To Embody It Every Day with Lulu Essey

    I have often felt like talking about self love can feel frustrating and confusion. What does loving oneself actually mean and look like?  Early in my twenties, I think I thought self love looked and felt like self discipline. I went to yoga and meditated almost every day, I was strict with myself on what and when I would eat, I went to bed early and woke up early.  From the outside, it looked like I deeply loved myself through how I cared for myself but that it not the way it felt. I felt trapped, depressed, and disconnected. My routine wasn't bringing me joy or love, it brought short term safety. And that bubble would burst if I did anything outside of that routine where I would then be so cruel with myself.  Self love may show up as an act, but now I experience it as a felt sense. It feels like a warmth, a closeness, and an appreciation of my body for all that it does and navigates every day. In this week's episode, I chat with Lulu Essey, Speaker, Mindset Advisor, and host of The Lulu Essey Podcast , about:  Understanding the difference between self love and self careThe practice of staying with yourself in all emotions, sensations, and reactionsNavigating discomfortThe role of safety in self loveThe courage to face inner struggles and the importance of asking for supportYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-self-love-really-is-and-how-to-embody-it-every-day Hope you enjoy this week's episode and talk to you more soon!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Lulu:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@luluessey Website: https://www.luluessey.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucille-marie-essey/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lulu.essey/ Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

    Regulate Your Nervous System, Reframe Your Reflection: A Guide to Somatic Body Image Healing

    I've been through a similar trajectory that so many have in food and body image recovery.  In my twenties, I got to a place where food was less of a concern. I wasn't skipping meals anymore and I was balancing those meals and eating all macronutrients. I felt much more grounded and regulated.  But, the body image struggles continued to hang around. I felt good in my body but I still hated the way my body looked. So, I tried every mainstream approach. I tried the stronger over skinny approach where I lifted a lot of heavy weights and gained a lot of muscle. Yet still, it felt like it was never enough.  So, I tried the unconditional body love approach and tried to love my body as it was. No matter how much I tried to challenge my internalized beliefs about my body, nothing would budge.  I still looked in the mirror every day and internally said, "ick".  When I started somatic therapy, it wasn't with the intention of trying to heal my body image. I was focused on healing from a trauma response. What I wasn't expecting was that I would find myself caring less and less about how my body looked the safer I felt.  In this week's episode, I chat about:  A somatic, nervous system, attachment perspective to body image struggles Research that points to body image struggles are more about alterations in your brain and nervous system than it is about your body Strategies to increase interoception, a key part of body image recoveryYou can read the transcript to this episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/reframe-your-reflection I've opened the doors back up for the next 48 hours until midnight on Tuesday 5/26 to the Somatic Eating® Program.  The first class has already occurred so you will be able to watch the replay of the first class and reach out in the already active community to ask questions and receive support.  Something I wished I had as I navigated my food and body image interactions was someone who would have guided me on how to listen to myself, rather than give me a bunch of advice that didn't work for my body. That is what I do in the program: support you in cultivating trust in yourself that you know what is best for you and how to discover that for yourself after you've been away from your body for years.

    Breakthrough Food Recovery Stuckness With Psychedelics and Movement with Francesca Annenberg

    My current perspective on eating disorders is that labeling food behaviors as a disorder has kept the field of food recovery distracted, continuing to focus on that food is the problem.  Patterns of binge eating, restriction, yo yo dieting, food noise, and body image struggles need to be re-labeled as nervous system dysregulation or a trauma response.  Food, for many, was never actually the problem, but it was the strategy to support the nervous system, to cultivate safety, and to produce specific neurotransmitters.  The safer you feel in your body, the less you can experience food or body image impulses that are trying to facilitate safety. In this week's episode, I chat with Francesca Annenberg, Eating Disorder Recovery, Somatic Practitioner, and Psychedelic Integration Guide, about:  How psychedelic assisted therapies can be utilized in food recoveryHow movement, sensory awareness and reconnecting with the body can transform food and body image issuesBuilding safety and trust in the bodyThe connection between food, relationships, and self worthYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/breakthrough-food-recovery-stuckness I truly believe somatic psychology has been the missing piece for many people struggling for decades with their food and body image. This is why I'm passionate about teaching my three month live Somatic Eating® Program to be able to reach more people with this work. You can learn more at ​somaticeating.com​.

    How a Feldenkrais Practice Can Improve Body Image and Relationship with Food with Beverly Atkins

    I have a saying, Embody first, Examine later. When you're feeling like you're drowning in body image concerns or food impulses, your prefrontal cortex is shut down. This is the part of your brain where you rationalize and can think through what is going on.  When that part of your brain is diminished, it can be much harder to try to understand what message your body is trying to send you through food cravings or body image worries. At this point, what is often needed is non-verbal connection with your body. Your body needs support in assessing that it is safe. In this week's episode, I chat with Beverly Atkins, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and the founder of Pauseture, about:  The impact of movement on body awarenessNavigating body image and self perceptionCultural influences on body image and how the practice of Feldenkrais can support in updating your experience of your bodyHow to shift focus from appearance to sensationUnderstanding food behaviors through movement and nervous system attunementYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/feldenkrais-practice-can-improve-body-image Lastly, the doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!!  Early bird pricing of $150 off goes until Tuesday, April 28th.

    How to Use Food Cravings as Feedback of Your Nervous System States with Luis Mojica

    Since my time in graduate school for somatic psychotherapy, I have shared with anyone who would listen about the connection between somatics and nutrition. It has felt absurd to me that food was never talked about in my somatic studies.  In my PhD interview, I passionately shared that I believe there is a need to bring the field of nutrition into somatics.  This has been a 20-year journey where I'm seeing that others have also been trying to combine these fields. One of those people I'm thrilled to bring back onto the podcast. In this week's episode, I chat with Luis Mojica, Somatic Educator, certified in Holistic Nutrition, and author of Food Therapy, about:  How Luis also came to combine the fields of somatics, nutrition, and traumaFood as a witness to your darkest momentsWhat different foods will do in your nervous systemThe importance of titrating balancing foods into your mealsOwning the choice to lean on food Somatic practices to move through cravings Discovering what your most craved foods are trying to do for you You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-to-use-food-cravings-as-feedback-of-your-nervous-system-states With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Luis:  Website: www.holisticlifenavigation.com Link to book page: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book Podcast: www.holisticlifenavigation.com/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistic.life.navigation Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

    Create Your Eating Timeline to Understand Your Food Story with Dr. Deanna Minich

    Around 2018, I was living in Denver, Colorado and I was in my ongoing process of combining the fields of somatics, nutrition, nervous system, and trauma. I've wanted to learn as much as I can about all of the possible perspectives of what affects and shapes our food interactions.  I was a member at the Denver Botanic Gardens and found out they were holding an all day nutrition workshop with Dr. Deanna Minich. I had been following her work for a long time and was so excited to learn from her in person.  Some of the things I learned at that workshop I still cite today in sessions. I have admired the way Dr. Minich combines nutritional science and spirituality. So you can imagine how overjoyed I was when she agreed to come on the podcast and share her wisdom.  In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Deanna Minich, Nutrition Scientist and Chief Scientific Officer at Symphony Natural Health, about:  Eating and circadian rhythmThe relationship between food and spiritualityFood and connection with lineage, ancestry, and generational traumaPersonal food stories and food associationsThe power of sensitivityEmbracing color, play, and creativity with food You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/create-your-eating-timeline-to-understand-your-food-story I hope you love this chat as much as I did and email me anytime with any insights you had from this episode!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch Dr. Deanna Minich:  Website: https://www.deannaminich.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deanna.minich/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaminich/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/foodandspirit Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannaminich/ Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

    Busting Detox Myths and Revealing Wellness Realities with Michele Scarlet

    When I first entered into the world of wellness culture, I was swept up in the promise of health, vibrancy, and fixing every symptom I had and could ever have.  I did the detoxes, the cleanses, the supplements, the colonics, the detox foot baths, the energy work, and the elimination diets.  Now, if you're thinking, "Wait. I have done some of those things and they were helpful to me." That is great!  But, what I've noticed is that wellness culture has commodified health to sell something. Things it didn't guide me to look at were detoxing my thoughts, my social media feeds, my low self esteem, and my trauma. Attending to these things was far more beneficial for my health and well being than any supplement I could ever take.  Constantly trying to digest internal harsh criticism was part of what was fueling all of my symptoms as my body was living in a sympathetic nervous system state and the longer you stay in a fight or flight response, the more your body is going to struggle to stabilize.  In this week's episode, I chat with Michele Scarlet, Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Personal Trainer, and Women’s Health Coach, about:  The impact of stressUnderstanding body communicationDetoxing mythsHow to support the body in a toxic world and no we're not just talking about what you ingest but also what you surround yourself withNavigating food choicesFostering self compassionYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/busting-detox-myths Hope you enjoy this week's episode and talk to you more soon!  With Compassion and Empathy,  Stephanie Mara Fox Keep in touch with Michele:  Website: https://www.michelescarlet.com/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelescarlet_/ Support the show Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafox Website: https://www.stephaniemara.com/ https://www.somaticeating.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafox Contact: support@stephaniemara.com Support the show: Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/support All affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resources Receive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARA Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
