Sophie and Maren both encourage their clients to research the myths developed by diet culture because it was these false beliefs that created their distorted relationship with food. In order to reduce shame and keep turning the blame of the diet not working onto yourself, you need to turn that finger to the culprit  - the diet industry. Debunking these myths helped Maren and Sophie in healing their relationship with food and their body and want to continue to spread the tea about these false statements : weight equaling health, carbs are bad, and to avoid processed foods. Maren recently created a body image workshop seminar to help those trying to work through their body shame. The reason why we struggle with food is because we have this belief that are bodies are broken and need to be fixed. Through this seminar, Maren breaks down what beliefs really are and how our society has conditioned us to feel insecure about our bodies as well as develop fatphobia. She discusses how to start restructuring your current core limiting beliefs which is key in reconditioning the brain as well as walks you through the stages of grief that is necessary to let go of the thin dream.

We're back this week with an episode that is a must listen!  This week we discuss how beliefs are formed and how our conditioning as humans begins.  You know those negative thoughts that pop up when you try on a pair of jeans that are too small?  Or, when you see a picture of yourself you do not like?  What if I told you that you actually had the power to change them?  And what if even better you could turn those thoughts into empowering statements instead? Guess what?  You can!  We go deep into the science behind how our brains create these beliefs and how you can start reconditioning them into beliefs that support and uplift you.  If you have ever struggled with limiting beliefs of any kind, you are not going to want to miss this episode!  Special announcement!  Maren and I are so grateful to have our little pod fam, and want to connect with you all even further.  We are going to be creating a free community space where you can come to learn, grow, and connect with others.  Initially we planned on starting a Facebook group but are currently researching other platforms.  Stay tuned for more information to come!

In this episode, Sophie and Maren walk you through the steps on how to start breaking your foods rules so you can finally feel at ease around food and truly find pleasure and satisfaction again. When we try to control food, what is really happening is we are being controlled by food. This leads to feeling out of control around food and we start believing in this narrative that we can't trust ourselves or our bodies around food. Diet Culture has inserted this narrative into our minds and its time to prove them wrong! You deserve food freedom and you have the right to eat whatever you want, ALWAYS! Your body is the internal compass for knowing what you need. That is why we receive cravings and desires. So get a pen and paper, and take some notes! This is a juicy episode of how to break you food rules one at a time. Bye bye food police!

In this episode, Sophie and Maren discuss the term "Sugar Addiction" and how many people are convinced they are addicted to sugar. How they feel is completely valid, but in truth sugar addiction is not in the DSM5 handbook of addictions. There is something deeper going on here and they discuss a few very important studies that show how restricting calories, types of foods, especially food that you find pleasurable can lead to feeling out of control around them. Restriction can cause you to obsessively think about food and the more you try to limit types of food and quantities, the more your body and brain want it! Which is why when you finally get your hands on it, all bets are off and the last supper mentality kicks in. Sophie and Maren talk about giving yourself unconditional allowance around all food as well as being present while eating so you can really connect to your hunger and fullness and the experience.
