Ep. 55 :: A Journey To Recovery {With Athina Crilley}

Making peace with your plate is not about guilt, restriction, body shaming, or attaching your personal value in the world to impossible food and body standards. Making peace with your plate is much more about learning to eat to feel how you want to feel, to being able to track into the intelligence of your body (including hunger and fullness), to find pleasure with food that makes you feel good, and loving and nourishing yourself with your eating. Peace begins with peace. Self compassion starts with small compassionate moments, thoughts, and gestures. Healing happens with love and kindness. What if we ring in the new year by appreciating our body and rejecting diet culture? If you are looking for some ways to take this even deeper, be sure to listen to this weeks podcast episode where my guest, Athina Crilley, shares what can happen when we give into diet culture (including her personal story and all the damage that ensued) rather than learning to eat to feel how we want to feel, be present with our feelings, and create capacity to hold it all.
