The next evolution of Harder to Kill Radio is here and with a brand new name. Today’s episode is all about diving into the reasons behind the change and what you can continue to expect from the Listen To Your Body Podcast.

Hear Your Body Signals & Trust Yourself More Deeply

There have been some major changes to my business and mindset since the start of this show, and I want to take you along on the journey with me. My goal is to continue to introduce you to expert guests and my own personal opinions so that you can reclaim your abilities to eat and move more intuitively, hear your body signals and trust yourself more deeply.

Through the intersection of body, mind and soul health, true healing and an intuitive way of life are possible, and I am so happy that you are with me on this ride. I want to encourage you to develop your own intuition, align your energy with what you are truly connected to, and help you listen to your body. 

What do you think of our new name and mission? Head on over to the episode page and share your thoughts with me in the comments on the episode page

 

In This Episode

  • Learn about the backstory behind the change of the title of this podcast (2:44)
  • Why I want to focus on intuitive eating, self-compassion, and mindset (7:35)
  • The importance of aligning our energy with what you feel connected too (8:15)
  • Reasons why I decided to change the name to Listen To Your Body (13:20)
  • What you can expect to learn more about with this new rebranding (15:02)

 

Quotes

“I began to feel a growing disconnect with the name. Recently in the last few months, I have been in an incredible coaching program, I have been getting coached around things like energy and energetics. And what started to become clear to me was the podcast as its own entity and its own energy and myself as I was continuing to grow and shift and diverge into this slightly different direction, our energies weren’t matching up anymore.” (8:36)

“Even though I know very instinctively and intuitively that it is the next thing for me to do, there is still always this battle.” (10:36)

“Were working toward a more peaceful way of being in our bodies, whether that is incorporating intuition more, it’s moving toward intuitive eating, moving our bodies more intuitively, moving our bodies for the joy of moving our bodies, incorporating things like spiritual curiosity, what does that mean and how does it factor into our mind body and our mind-body connection, meditation, all sorts of things.” (14:51)

“You’re still going to hear things that are related to food and movement and mindset, but the energy, the intention, is different, it’s shifting. And I feel so excited about it and I can’t wait to share it with you.” (20:30)

“There are histamine receptors all over the body, and that’s why the symptoms are so widespread, and that is what can make this very hard to diagnosis.” (6:53)

“The reason I wrote this book is because this is overwhelming. And I have the type of brain that I work like I am very good at showing people how to make things basic, and not overwhelming. So I wanted to put it all into a manual, just do this and you will get better. And it does work! (13:35)

“Once you kind of go through the steps of emptying your bucket, I want you to start visualizing certain foods being good for you, and not being afraid that they are going to hurt you still if they are not going to.” (17:49)

It seems that all anyone can talk about since last week’s Super Bowl is the halftime show performed by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Everything from slut-shaming to diet culture has been brought up in conversation surrounding the event, and I am here today to lay down my two cents.

Accepting People As Multidimensional Beings

At the end of the day, there will be criticism no matter what. What truly matters is your ability to believe in yourself, think critically, and act in a way that empowers you. Instead of feeling shame surrounding what you do or do not do with your body, I want you to feel the confidence to create a space that feels right for you. 

Before you place judgment on J.Lo and Shakira’s halftime show, I encourage you to get thinking and consider different angles other than your own before imposing your viewpoint on those who may be easily impressed. It is up to us to promote a culture of body acceptance without body discrimination, and that can only happen by accepting people as multidimensional beings. 

Today I ask the questions necessary to help you navigate the space of having conversations with young women that empowers sexuality in a way that promotes respect from everyone, including yourself.

Are you ready to join in on the discussion? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section on the episode page

 

In This Episode

  • How to acknowledge that you are more than just a body as a woman (10:50)
  • Addressing the either-or paradigm of modesty to sluttiness in society (11:32)
  • Why you can be an autonomous woman while still being a sexualized being (17:05)
  • Comparing white male performance standards to that of this Superbowl (20:43)
  • Tips for sitting with the things that make you uncomfortable before judging (27:14)

 

Quotes

“There are all sorts of things about women and how they show up in the world and how we value women and their bodies, and the double standards that exist between different types of women and their bodies, between men and women in their bodies.” (5:55)

“If they were completely covered in what is considered modest clothing, there would still be a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of commentary about their bodies, how they showed up.” (9:29)

“You can explore and express yourself through your clothes, how you actually show up in the world. But that is not the only thing that matters about you.” (15:53)

“We want to teach them to have self-respect, but we also, I get the sense most people want to  let their kids be who they are.” (23:27)

When it comes to our journey of body liberation there can be some boundaries, including the processing of emotions. Jess Demasi is a certified eating psychology coach, the founder of Wholly Healed and is passionate about helping people redefine health without diet culture. Today Jess is here to encourage you to give yourself permission to define what it is to be a woman in this life for you and only you.

Create A Radical Sense Of Awareness

This episode is all about unpacking some of the stigmas and privileges that we can all unknowingly carry, and taking a step back without judgment but instead with curiosity to keep asking yourself the hard questions when it comes to your relationship with your body. 

Jess is on a mission to create a radical sense of awareness and help women unapologetically show up as who they are. Today is all about gaining skills to develop your own sense of liberation, whatever that may be for you, and removing judgment towards what you are feeling in a healthy way.  

You are more than just your body, and it is through the separation of your identity and your body that you can deal with what is really going on internally and heal yourself from the inside out. By asking the hard questions and feeling where the healing needs to come from you can learn to care for yourself and become your own autonomous agent. 

Are you ready to start on your path to liberation? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section on the episode page.

 

In This Episode

  • Learn about the role of desirability privilege and desirability politics in our society (10:10)
  • Deconstructing body autonomy and being aware of your own motivations (20:12)
  • How to embrace your journey of liberation as an experience just for you (23:20))
  • Tips for living a liberated life and showing up as who you are unapologetically (26:05)
  • Ways to use the RAIN acronym to process your emotions in a healthy way (28:42)

 

Quotes

“Being thin and pretty as a woman should not be a pre-requisite for the value that we’re given, nor should it be a requirement for our existence.” (5:46)

“Any time we have what we call the happiness destination paradox, where we imagine that our emotions, our internal world, would be different if our external world was different. That is when you have that chasm, and you are taking internal issues that should be worked on internally and you are projecting them onto your external appearance.” (15:07)

“I am here to ask the questions to get you thinking, and then what you do with that is completely your responsibility.” (21:01)

“All that I can ask for is a radical sense of awareness.” (22:23)

“I don’t think that the world benefits from women who are living to please other people. I think that actually what we desperately need, for kindness and compassion and to solve the world’s problems, in our individual lives and in the larger aspect of the world, is women showing up in their completely whole, authentic selves.” (26:08)
