In this episode, we dove deep into the topic of evening snacking (and how complicated it can be). We explored various reasons why people might snack at night, from emotional triggers (like seeking comfort or reward) to biological factors (like needing a full stomach to sleep better). We also talked about personal experiences with nighttime eating habits and how different strategies can help, such as being more intentional with snacks or considering the role of movement. This episode really highlighted the importance of understanding one's own needs and habits without judgment, and how difficult, yet crucial, it is to find what truly works on an individual level.

In this live episode, hosts Sarah and Stef explain the concepts of "All-In Recovery" versus "All or Nothing Thinking," particularly in the context of the nondiet approach to overeating and restriction cycles.
Stef explains that "All-In Recovery" involves abandoning restrictive eating behaviors entirely, which actually IS a quite all-or-nothing experience. She also explains how it worked to find enough inner quiet to actually find intuitive eating authentically.
Throughout the episode, they highlight the distinctions between intentional eating without shame and unchecked binge eating, stressing the importance of presence and self-compassion in recovery. The hosts also address audience questions about how to identify if All-In Recovery is right for someone and the interplay between allowing binges and maintaining a helpful mindset.
Overall, the episode provides valuable insights into the nuanced differences between these approaches, offering practical advice for individuals navigating their own recovery journeys.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of "triggers" and how they affect our emotions and behaviors (including how they impact binge eating and restricting and body image). Our hosts, Sarah and Stef, share personal anecdotes about feedback on social media (like when people make comments about our clothes or teeth or how we are only in this for ourselves), the psychological and physical responses to being triggered, coping mechanisms, and practical tools. They differentiate between being triggered and being activated, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and time to process intense emotions. The conversation touches on the role of community in managing these reactions and the importance of compassion and presence when dealing with emotional triggers. Join us for an honest discussion on how to navigate the complexities of emotional triggers and find healthier ways to cope.

In this lively and unique episode, Sarah and Stef delve into the concept of joy. They share their personal experiences and struggles with finding joy, reflecting on moments that brought them happiness and the impact those moments had on their mental states. From a sunny drive to Brighton listening to summer reggae (Sarah) to a rollercoaster ride with her daughters (Stef), they explore how joy can stem from both big and small moments. They also discuss the complications of linking joy to external validation (like viral YouTube success or getting asked out by a crush) versus the pure joy from unconnected experiences like nature, music, or meaningful connections. Through their candid conversation, they connect the dots between joy, peace, gratitude, and even existential realizations, proposing that our defenses may often block joy. Along the way, both hosts get a bit vulnerable and offer insights into leaning into moments of discomfort as a way to invite more joy into life.

In this episode, we explore the complex emotion of anger. We discuss how anger can be a suppressed emotion (and create conditions for bingeing and restricting) because sometimes, it's an emotion we are afraid to feel. On the other hand, it can be a high-energy emotion that just takes a lot of wrangling to keep regulated! For the first time ever on this podcast, we actually discuss -- live, and without pre-planning -- a recent personal conflict between us when we went to Bournemouth for a workshop. In real time, we hope to demonstrate the importance of rupture and repair in relationships. This episode also touches upon the interplay of helplessness and anger, the significance of understanding physical responses to emotions, and strategies for managing these intense feelings. 03:00 Revealing Today's Topic: Anger 05:23 Personal Experiences with Anger 07:31 A Moment of Conflict 10:42 Processing and Reflecting on Anger 23:05 Memory and Miscommunication 24:39 Physical Reactions to Emotional Stress 26:56 Rupture and Repair in Relationships 27:58 Personal Experiences with Conflict Resolution 30:40 Helplessness and Control 36:59 Balancing Perspectives and Finding Ease 43:18 Reflections and Closing Thoughts

In this episode, we explore the complex role guilt plays in our lives, particularly around topics like eating, self-care, and productivity. We start things off with some chit-chat about recording while standing up -- Stef has a moment of body image angst, revisted at the end of the episode.
We discuss how guilt can stem from societal expectations and personal values, and whether it truly helps drive positive change or just makes us feel worse. We also talk about how guilt compares to integrity and self-care, arguing that aligning with one’s values might be a healthier motivator than guilt.
Several personal stories highlight these ideas:
Sarah shares a dinner story involving guilt around food and a confrontation with her dad's judgmental comments. Stef talks about the difference between productive frustration and unproductive shame using an example of...underwear Both hosts reflect on their own experiences with guilt related to work and productivity, emphasizing the difference between productive self-care and collapsing out of despair or self-abandonment.The conversation also touches on parental expectations, societal pressures about how to look, eat, and "succeed", and the importance of self-compassion (explained in context, not the abstract boring way).

In this engaging episode of their podcast, Stef and Sarah dive deep into the topic of mindful eating. Stef shares some insightful anecdotes about how clients often come to her with a preconceived notion of how they "should" be eating. Sarah chimes in with practical advice from her workshops, suggesting that eating mindfully isn't about being perfect but more about being present.
Throughout the episode, they explore the challenges and misconceptions surrounding the practice. They emphasize that mindful eating isn't one-size-fits-all. For some, it can exacerbate issues like perfectionism or diet culture pressures. They also talk about the importance of self-compassion and curiosity in the journey towards a healthier relationship with food.
There are relatable stories about struggles with binge eating, the cultural weight of diet culture, and the roller coaster of trying to eat "right." They also hit on some lighter notes, like Sarah's recent misadventure with an electric blanket and Stef's physical therapy updates.

This episode features a conversation with Danielle Bublitz, a registered dietitian from Southern California who has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. Danielle shares insights on the stigma surrounding type 2 diabetes, what it means to have prediabetes, and the tendency of wellness culture to pathologize blood sugar spikes in people without diabetes (including people with eating disorders, disordered eating, and orthorexia).
The conversation also touches on the controversies surrounding Ozempic and GLP-1 medications, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and the psychological implications of dieting and food restriction for blood sugar management.
Danielle Bublitz, MS, RDN, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She specializes in working with people with diabetes and binge eating in a Health At Every Size(R)-aligned lens. Danielle earned her bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from California State University at Chico and received her Master’s degree from California State University at Northridge while completing the dietetic internship program. Danielle is passionate about guiding her clients with diabetes towards feeling more at peace with their food decisions and blood sugar management.

You know what's hard in a life after diets? When people comment on your body or your food choices. How are we supposed to respond? It is a tough balance between setting boundaries, managing conflict, and not feeling triggered.
The conversation starts out with a reflection of Stef's conversation the previous day with her Mom, but moves through different scenarios that we might run up against in our non-diet culture driven life. Some scenarios include: what if someone asks me if I'm pregnant? What if someone is just ignorant or making a non-critical observation? What if their comment triggers my own self doubt?
