We completed the last episode in this series of Sessions last week. Today, Jillian is taking you inside of her long and cringe-y journey to finding this work and this point in her career.

In this 1:1 Session, Jillian works with a holistic health coach who feels like she's not where she'd like to be in her comfort or confidence around her body.

In this episode, Jill works with a naturopathic doctor who's figuring out how to work from an anti-diet, weight-inclusive perspective. Her clients are demanding it - they are DONE with diets - but she's never been taught how to work with food in a trust-based way.  So begs the question - if we aren't just going to cut out gluten and dairy - what are we going to do? In this episode they discus...

In this episode, Jillian works live, 1:1, with a practitioner who is struggling on her own personal journey to embodiment and food peace.  In it they explore: the education she received and if there were important, fundamental truths of this work left out or watered-down what it takes to get out of your head and into your body a key, often forgotten, internal regulator digestive distress, is...

Today I'm talking about what I lovingly call ' The Arc' of the holidays . It's that predictable pattern - where even the most intuitive-eating, body-accepting, diet-rejecting, stigma-fighting female starts to feel the holidays catch-up with her and finds old programming (i.e. the desire to hop on a restrictive 'reset' program) popping up in a MAJOR way. It feels bad. Like, really bad. Not onl...
