mardi 28 mai 2024 • Duration 53:27

While I was a CNS candidate, my supervisors required me to read the Intuitive Eating book to help me better understand my relationship with food and to introduce the concept that nutritionists do not just put people on diets. I enjoyed learning about the ten principles of Intuitive Eating, and I have used many of them when working with my clients. I have also used the Intuitive Eating workbook with clients to help them better understand their relationships with food. It is no coincidence that soon after embracing the principles of intuitive eating, I became friends with a colleague of mine, Lara, who is an Intuitive Eating counselor.

The work we do won't just change your relationship with your body — it will change the way you show up in every aspect of your life.

What we chat about: 
  • How Lara became certified intuitive Eating counselor and successful business owner 
  • What Intuitive Eating actually is 
  • What principles of Intuitive Eating we struggled with when we went through the workbook 
  • Why diets do not work for 95% of people

Season 2 · Episode 27

lundi 25 septembre 2023 • Duration 01:09:56

We are sure you’ve heard that meditation and other mindfulness activities are good for you. However, it can be difficult to know how to meditate or find the time to add this ritual into your daily routine. Because of the many misconceptions around mindfulness, we wanted to talk to an expert in making meditation convenient, accessible, and effective. In this episode, we chat with Suze Yalof Schwartz, the Founder and CEO of the Unplug Meditation App and the world's first drop-in secular meditation studio. She is also the author of Unplug: A Simple Guide To Meditation for Busy Skeptics and Modern Soul Seekers.

Prior to this, she was a fashion editor and "makeover guru" working at Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Glamour Magazine with regular appearances on GMA, The Today Show, CBS Early Show, and more. Once she discovered meditation, she was determined to keep doing it but could not find a place to easily learn and practice. After taking hundreds of hours of classes, reading every book possible, and listening to podcasts and lectures from the world's most famous meditation teachers, Suze realized that meditation needed a makeover and she was the one to do it. Suze's mission is to make meditation simple, accessible, powerful and interesting enough so that everyone will want to practice it and experience the benefits for themselves.
