It's a new year, which often means new year's fitness resolutions. I wanted to take some time in today's episode to talk about why continuing to under eat chronically may be making it harder, or actually impossible, for you to reach your fat loss goals. From the physiological to psychological, chronic under-feeding can thwart your fat loss efforts and start to have negative effects on your health. Episode 101 is here to distill the nerdy stuff into an easy to digest episode so that you can be a more empowered and educated eater for your short and long term health and fitness goals.

Now more than ever with lockdowns happening worldwide, many people are spending more time alone than they normally do. For some people, this is really uncomfortable and scary. I wanted to record today's episode to talk through some of my own pivotal periods of solitude within my life that ultimately led to me becoming the woman I am today, who loves herself, who is herself, and who ENJOYS time with herself. I'm hoping this show today can help you lean into your alone time and use it to grow in knowledge, in self-understanding, in self love, and in strength.

First and foremost, a disclaimer that I think is, or at least should be, relevant to any podcast you consume or really any content you consume ever. For one, you don't have to agree with every single thing a guest says. We're all different, and that's the beauty of both humanity and podcasting. Secondly, go into this with an open mind. We do talk a lot about spirituality and psychedelics in this episode, so proceed at your own risk. Today we have a crowd favorite back on the show: the one, the only, Nick Komodina. Nick is a long time friend, basically my brother. He first came on the show back in 2019 with one of the most shared episodes that EMBody Radio has ever had. On today's show, we're basically giving you your intro into personal growth in 2021. We're going over Nick's journey into meditation, what it's done for him, why people struggle to go inward, how to set yourself up for TRUE, LASTING success in the new year vs continually beating your head into the wall and not getting anywhere, and Nick's experience with psychedelics, including his recent trip during the great conjunction that absolutely changed his life.

Ironic how I talk about dudes ghosting me in this episode since I clearly ghost the podcast on a regular basis... karma? Not sure. BUT HEY. We're here now and we're happy to be here. This description is gonna be short and sweet: we're doing a full 2020 recap. I put up a question box on IG for topics for this return-cast, and so many of you sweet souls just asked, "Really, how are you?" So, I thought we could go through and talk about one of the wildest years in human existence. I'm cracking open a new bottle of wine and diving into the good, the bad, the ugly of my year, from fitness, to dating, to my career, and everything in between. ----------- WHERE TO FIND ME Interested in fitness coaching?

I get asked all the time "how I'm so confident in being myself." It honestly makes me sad that this is a common question, because isn't that what we all should be confident in being? Today's show was inspired by a conversation with a friend about standing strong in yourself, and it turned into an episode about some of my story and how I developed self confidence. TOPICS: -The conversation with a friend that inspired this episode -Why we are biologically programmed to want and need acceptance from others -Why we're more afraid of public speaking than death -Starting my fitness journey/my fitness social media and getting mocked/bullied by my peers from my high school -Learning the lesson of growing strong in myself and who I am -Being a "floater" in high school and never really fitting in with a particular group or clique -Going from being a "chameleon" to fit in with groups to being more confident in simply being myself -Spending time alone and without many friends, and how that taught me focus and self-discovery -Our own unique gifts -Cultivating confidence through critcism -Closing notes ----------- ANTI RACISM RESOURCES FOR WHITE PEOPLE: https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1BRlF2_zhNe86SGgHa6-VlBO-QgirITwCTugSfKie5Fs/mobilebasic ----------- WHERE TO FIND ME Instagram YouTube Website (sign up for the email list here!)
