The Renae Saager Show

The "manual" is the idea that we all have a set of rules and expectations for other people to follow (aka the manual). You probably have one for your partner, your parents, coworkers, and people you see in passing.   When you think someone is being rude it is often because they aren't following the manual you have for how they "should" act. When it's your birthday and...

Are you someone who calls a bath self care? Or getting a delicious meal? Or taking a day off? Is that REALLY self care? Or is it just self-respect? Is it just treating yourself well? In this episode, I am talking to you about the difference between the two and why worrying about what YOU think about you is substantially more important than what anyone else thinks about you. 🔗 Links & Resource...

Over the weekend two bigger names in the online space shared posts about letting go of dieting. These two women were Tabitha Brown and Diane San Filippo . Diane's very raw and real post in particular gave me goosebumps. I kept jumping back to her profile to see the comments HUNDREDS of women were leaving about their own experience with food and body. Countless women asking her questions about...

BONUS EPISODE!   I am dropping a bonus episode with my amazing client, Shannon. Shannon talks about her history with food and body and previous attempts at controlling each (the different diets and plans or just not eating) which all ultimately left her feeling defeated.   In our work together we uncovered a big underlying belief that she kept recycling through her mind which was ultimately keepin...

In this episode, I share with you what getting into recovery looked like, surviving the early days, and some of my biggest fears. I also talk about doing what feels impossible.

No bulging of the breasts spilling over the top, no straps falling off shoulders, no undies that are constantly crawling into your crack, or stained and stretched in ways we don't even wan...

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." You have probably heard that before, right? Sure, words don't physically hurt you in the way a stone might but they can still create the feeling of being hurt, sometimes worse than having a stone thrown at you! Maybe it is an under-the-breath comment from a co-worker, a text from a friend, or direct feedback from y...

"You look great- have you lost weight?" "What are you doing? You look so thin and amazing." "Wow, congrats on the weight loss." Body comments. Maybe you have been on the receiving end but maybe you have been on the giving end. They come off as "nice",  as positive, as motivating, but are they REALLY?  What do they actually mean? In this episode I share a dif...

“I just always thought there was something wrong with me. I had to eat when I was stressed and over most feelings but, I don't have to do that anymore. I can keep food in the house I used to binge on and it's not a big deal. I  still can’t really believe it. I wish I would have done this 20 years ago!" In this episode, I interview my amazing client Katie. Katie and I have been worki...

In this raw and real conversation, Dr. Shauna Harrison opens up about her own eating disorder and how it has shaped how she currently views movement, shows up in her life, and stays sane while working in the fitness industry. She shares what it was like discovering she had 34 siblings, when exactly she knew she wanted to go to Standford, and more. I hope you love this interview as much as I did! B...

Have you ever asked yourself this question: "How long will this take?' "How long will it take for me to___" "How long will I do this for?" I have had clients feel sane and free around food within as little as 2 months and for others haven't started clicking until month 5+. Why? How? What's the difference? I am bringing you what I believe is the #1 answer for...

Do you assume you did a horrible job and people are thinking awful things about you? You interpret a "Sure" text as," Well, they obviously hate me." You aren't crazy and what you're experiencing is really healthy and needed- in some cases. In this episode, I am covering the negativity bias your brain operates on. I talk about an experience I had after speaking on a Su...

In this episode, I share how losing my mom was my catalyst for change. Change with my food and change with the direction my life was going. For years I lived in the "If it doesn't hurt, I must not be doing it right" mentality. I always chose harder over hard. And I see this come up with a lot of my clients too. This idea that whatever they want to do must be wrong. There is no way t...

You see others #glowup around you and think, "I could never do that." OR "Who am 'I' to try and do that?" B...
