    191: When Your Favorite Foods No Longer Bring You Joy

    Hello everyone and welcome back! The subject of today’s episode was inspired by an experience I had on a road trip through my home province of Alberta to a medical conference. My husband and I have been making the same trip for 50 years and we have little rituals where we stop for breaks and get favorite snacks. A certain donut shop is one of those stops. But this time I didn’t enjoy the donuts that I look forward to every trip. What happened? The donuts hadn’t changed. I realized that this isn’t the first time I’ve had this experience. And that’s what I want to talk about: the changing shift in foods when we focus on intuitive eating. How we lose touch with former favorites and why things change, that’s what I’m exploring with you today.

    190: Raising Intuitive Eaters with Christina Claytor

    Hello everyone! Welcome back to the podcast. It has been a while since I’ve shared an interview with you and I’m excited about this one because I welcome back a former guest and one of the coaches who works inside Wayza Health. Christina Claytor, the founder of Mindful Health Revolution, joins me again but this time to talk about raising her two young daughters as intuitive eaters. She’s here to enlighten us with her story and the truth about what it really takes to instill and maintain intuitive eating in your children.

    189: How to Stop Food Rules from Controlling Your Life

    Welcome back to Thrive Beyond Size! I'm so happy to have you here. Today’s topic is the concept of food rules. What are food rules, you ask? I’m talking about the rigid and often unspoken guidelines that we lay down for ourselves that dictate all the decisions we make around eating. Things like carbs are bad or don’t eat after 7 pm or yogurt has too much sugar. Some of them are choices we have consciously made but some are just ingrained in our brains in response to the diet culture we’ve been mired in for so long. I want to explore food rules today. Why do we make them? How are they interrupting our relationships with food and our bodies? What can we do to change them?

    188: Rest as Resistance - Reclaiming the Right to Slow Down

    Hello everyone! Right now, at the end of January, I feel an urge to talk about something that seems more important than ever. Rest. In my commitment to rhythm this year, I’m noticing that I also need a little more rest and that it’s actually in my rhythm to have a tough time at the end of January going into February. It’s a thing I’ve noticed I need: more sleep and slowing down. The type of rest I’m talking about is a radical act of self-care. It’s about reclaiming our time, energy, and health in a world that’s constantly demanding more of us. We all need that. Rest is resistance against our hustle culture. So I’m going to talk about how we can reframe rest as a necessity instead of regard it as a luxury.

    187: Trauma and Body Trust - What You Need To Know

    Welcome back to another episode, everyone. I’m very excited about the year ahead. Learning is one of my core values and last year I started doing training in trauma. At first, I simply wanted to have a trauma-informed approach to my coaching but the process intrigued me and opened so many realizations about the connection between trauma and healing around food and body. So now I’m doing true trauma training, the Gentle Trauma Release method, and I want to talk about why I’m doing that in today’s episode. Why it’s so important and why I think it’s essential for me to learn. So join me as I explore why trauma is relevant to building body trust.

    186: Reflecting on Rhythm for 2025

    Hello and welcome to 2025, everyone! It’s the start of a new year and the time of resolutions. We’ve all fallen into that trap of making a resolution that just didn’t stick. Maybe we resolved to eat better or exercise every day and we did well for a week or two but fell off around mid-January. I think resolutions are too rigid to allow flexibility and too focused on external expectations. So instead, I focus on things I’m leaving behind. Things that no longer serve me this year. It allows me to be flexible and to also focus on my word of the year: rhythm. Rhythm, to me, is a steady comforting pace. And that’s what I want to talk about today.

    185: Larger Luxury with Sherilyn Trompetter

    Hello friends and welcome back to Thrive Beyond Size. It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared an interview with you so I’m very excited to share one today. I’ve become passionate about advocating for weight-inclusive care in healthcare and addressing anti-fat bias and weight discrimination in the world and now I’m introducing you to someone who fights weight discrimination in spas. A spa trip is a day to feel relaxed, pampered, and rejuvenated, but often if you live in a bigger body, a spa visit is anything but. So I’m thrilled to introduce Sherilyn Trompetter, the co-founder of the Larger Luxury Certification that designates businesses as welcoming to bodies of all sizes.

    184: The Power of Connection

    Hello, lovelies, and welcome back! I’ve been focusing a lot on healing our relationships with food and our bodies and I’ll always explore that, that’s at the heart of acceptance. But something else is at the heart of healing our food and body relationships and that’s a sense of connection. This time of year, the holidays, is especially focused on connection which is part of why I love it so much. We need it more than just once a year, though. So I’m going to talk about how to start prioritizing connections throughout our lives.
