Satiated Podcast

Happy Satiated Saturday! How long have you judged your body? 5? 10? 15? 20 years? More? I get it. It can take a really long time to step into body acceptance. We are in the act of healing body image as a culture. Think of how long you have received messages around how you're "supposed" to look? Think of how long you have been reading articles and magazines and emails telling you wha...

Happy Satiated Saturday! I'm here today to admit, I'm Stephanie and I'm a recovering People Pleaser. 🙃 I used to say yes to everything. I would often overextend myself and drain my own energy just to make sure you liked me.  That is really what is often at the core of people pleasing. There is a belief that if we're always there for everyone else we will be loved, accepted, ap...

Happy Satiated Saturday! Have you ever noticed how easy it is to play out familiar patterns when you're around your parents or family or the home you grew up in?

Happy Satiated Saturday! I couldn't stop crying this morning. I didn't expect it. Once I heard the news that this United States will no longer be bombarded with disrespectful behavior from our own president, I cried.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Growing up, my mom would make this amazing Taco Platter that became pretty famous in my family. It was made on many special occasions and had layers and layers of yummy goodness.  As a kid, I asked for this Taco Platter numerous times on birthday celebrations.

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Something I have noticed in the self love movement is that it often doesn't include or explain that you're going to have hard days sometimes.  Some days you're not going to feel self love. Some days you might pick on yourself no matter how far you have come on your self acceptance journey. The more we're able to normalize these days, the easier they ca...

Happy Satiated Saturday!  Binge eating, emotional eating, restrictive eating, overly focusing on food and body are all serving and protecting you in some way.  I know that is a very different way to look at a pattern that you perhaps want to get rid of, be done with, and are frustrated with.  All the habits and patterns we have around food were cultivated at a time when we needed them.  In this we...

You're tired of over-analyzing, worrying, and over-thinking everything that you feed yourself.  You're thrown into an abyss of what now?  You once relied on perhaps eating the same thing at every meal and only eating certain foods because they were deemed "good" foods.
