    Regardless of the approach you're taking to lose weight, honing the skill of mindful eating will benefit you, especially if you don't want to track obsessively or want to make sure you can confidently maintain your results.

    Jackie Kirschen MS, RD is a weight loss dietitian who successfully lost 65 pounds and kept it off for 14 years. She helps women sustainably lose weight, indulge in the foods they love, end the yo-yo dieting cycle, and conquer binge eating while healing their relationship with food through Mindful Eating.

    193. Navigating Grief Without Slipping Into Unhealthy Habits with Jacey Keller

    193. Navigating Grief Without Slipping Into Unhealthy Habits with Jacey Keller

    It's not comfortable or pleasant to talk about but losing a parent - and grief, in general - is inevitable and today's conversation with grief coach, Jacey Keller, will help you be prepared.



    Whether you've just experienced a loss, your parents are alive and well, or you're supporting a loved one through their own loss, you'll get something out of today's episode.



    We talk about how to not lose yourself to a caregiving role, navigating acute grief right after a loss, how to get yourself to the point where you start taking care of yourself, again, and the best ways to be there while others are grieving. 



    ---



    When Jacey was 17, she lost her mother on Valentine’s Day after a 6-year battle with colon cancer. As a senior in high school, she didn’t know what resources were available.

    Jacey ended up gaining over 40lbs as a result of overeating in grief. She battled insomnia and failed her college classes.

    She went on to build a life with her husband, two kids, and a career she loves and is passionate about.

    Jacey is a certified life coach who helps people rebuild life after losing a parent.

    Whether it’s losing the grief weight, navigating family conflict, making decisions…

    She is an expert at helping you gain a clear perspective. She helps you make the most intentional decisions in grief with confidence.  

    You will find her by her desk in cozy slippers, sipping on a caffeinated ICE drink, while focusing on her mission.

    Jacey's mission is to help you remove the heaviness of grief so you can build a life you love again.Follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebuildyourlife.griefcoachFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071519215475&mibextid=sCpJLyResources:Sunset Stories podcastWidowed Mom podcastGrief to Hope Support Group

Relevant and realistic Podcasts!

I love these podcasts because they are so applicable to so many people, not preachy or unrealistic and the perfect amount to listen to on a quick walk to get my steps in. Love that Ester always has great guest stars too to bring new perspectives but they always align with the “forget the all or nothing mentality”. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Credible, motivating, and enjoyable!

I first met Esther on this podcast. I really enjoyed listening to several episodes before I reached out to her for information about her coaching program. She has a lot of credibility and gives sound, rational advice. Esther provides a broad range of realistic scenarios, so that every listener is sure to relate. The topics are varied and interesting, and she has a way of simplifying complex science into practical information we can all benefit from. Give this podcast a try!
