This can happen for all sorts of different reasons, but some of our clients can narrow it down to the ever changing environment of their life.Maybe you travel often, making your home in several countries in any given year. Each stop means a different kitchen, different grocery store, and different routines.

The Harm in Body Talk And Compliments

We often hear from our clients that body and weight have been a topic of conversation from the time they were little kids. Your body and weight may have been criticized, policed, praised, scrutinized, shamed, or complimented early in life and it doesn't stop when we grow up either. Your personal trainer, doctor, friends, or spouse might say something about your weight, especially if it has gone up or down recently. Receiving critical comments about our bodies can be annoying, discouraging, and damaging to our overall health and well being. Hearing something positive about our body or appearance might feel really good. But is it as simple as people saying negative things about our bodies makes us feel bad and saying positive things makes us feel good? Not quite. Join Georgie and Christina as we discuss how we help clients navigate body talk and compliments. In the episode, we cover some tips on giving compliments to other people And in the second part of the episode, we talk about how to be on the receiving end of body talk with real client examples. And, as always, if you would like some support or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you! Connect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookGeorgie's Instagram Christina's Instagram Have you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?
