LET IT OUT

Today on WWRadio I’m thrilled to have holistic health coach, speaker, jewelry designer and all around classy lady Arielle J Fierman on the show. Listen to our candid conversation where we talk about everything from her morning an evening routines, healthy eating on-the-go, her go-to staple dinner and snacks and tips for staying healthy on-the-go. Arielle is so passionate about everything she does and all of her amazing zest for life comes through in this Podcast. WWRadio is on  iTunes! yay! My favorite lines & nuggets from this interview: “Very often people get crazy about; where to eat, what to eat, when to eat, and  how to eat it and  very often it’s just about really savoring what you’re eating no matter if it’s a sweet treat or a super healthy delicious salad, really chewing and enjoying every bite. “ Tip: No matter where you’re eating, try to have a fruit or vegetable with whatever you’re eating preferable green, but be realistic because that may not be offered where you are.

My favorite lines & nuggets from this interview: “Look at your fear and do it anyway.” “You don’t raise kids to eat a certain way, you raise them love themselves & to be aware.” WWRadio is on iTunes! yay!   Links we mention: Pure Food & Wine NYC Short 5 minute meditations will change your life. 90s jam Bex’s favorite song Book that changed everything for Bex, Soul on Ice by Eldridge Cleaver & her favorite movie More bliss from Bexlife

WARNING | This post is about to get REAL. I get extremely authentic & honest about my food journey revealing some personal info to Wonderland for the first time. And who better to bring out raw emotional honesty than Isabel Foxen Duke. Emotional freedom from food extraordinaire and coach, Isabel stopped by Wonderland to shed light on real techniques on how to release  toxic relationships to food. Most of us have become lint rollers picking up some pretty nasty thought patterns around food, whether we realize it or not. I challenge you to own it! The first step to freedom from emotional attachment to food and becoming what Ellyn Satter calls a ‘normal eater’ is to get honest about where you are. In this conversation we’ll help you figure out exactly where that is. The  goal is this: Ellen’s definition of normal eating. Isabel reads this in our chat, but here it is written out below: “Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food you like and eat it and  truly get enough of it—not just stop eating because you think you should. Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection so you get nutritious food, but  not being so wary and restrictive that you miss out on enjoyable food. Normal eating is giving yourself permission to eat sometimes because you are happy, sad or bored, or just because it feels good. Normal eating is  mostly three meals a day, or four or five, or it can be choosing to munch along the way. It is leaving some cookies on the plate because you know you can have some again tomorrow, or it is eating more now because they taste so wonderful. Normal eating is overeating at times, feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. And it can be undereating at times and wishing you had more. Normal eating is  trusting your body to make up for your mistakes in eating. Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only one important area of your life. In short, normal eating is flexible. It varies in response to your hunger, your schedule, your proximity to food and your feelings.” Hmm.. pretty interesting right? & that’s not even the best line of this Podcast, so listen to the whole thing, it’s really eye opening, juicy,  & your want to listen multiple times to really let is soak in. **Here was my favorite line, but you listen , find your own, and tell me in the comments below what resonated most with you. My favorite power line from this interview: “Your brain doesn’t hear negatives-so when you tell yourself, ‘don’t eat! don’t eat!  don’t eat!’ all your brain hears is, ‘eat! eat! eat!” Links we mention: Isabel’s website!

I am psyched about today’s episode of The Wellness Wonderland Radio, where every week I share interviews with wellness extraordinaires. Today I have the amazing health coach Quinn Asteak. She is not only an amazing chef and holistic health coach, but also half of the dynamic kitchen duo {Healthy} Cooking Camp with Robyn + Quinn. In our wonderful conversation, Quinn and I talk everything from transitioning careers to favorite veggies to staple recipes to acne and self-care at it’s finest. The one quote (or as we like to call them, tweetable nuggets) that really stuck out to me was this…She shared her morning practice that can be applied to anything from that extra weight around your belly you just can’t shake or a stubborn new blemish on your face before a big event. Instead of hating it (ie. beating yourself up when you see it in the mirror or picking at it)  she says give some love to it. This is what she says to that stubborn stuff most people resent. She places her hands on her belly & gives it love saying: Isn’t that a great one? Tweet that! If you have any additional questions for Quinn, post them below and she’ll be answering your questions! She even left us her Detox Tea recipe she mentions in the podcast!  & her spinach oats recipe I can’t get enough of right now!
