S1 Ep 78Outside Inside with Rachel Goodman
When people hear about dietitians, they often associate them with food, which makes sense, but the truth is that our way of eating often stems from our relationship with our bodies and body image. During this interview with dietician Rachel Goodman, she gets deep into her own story, her journey with food. We discussed how as we get older, our true selves start to dim, and part of the process in life is getting back to our childhood selves. Rachel shares why she decided to become a dietician and her earliest memory of struggling with her body image. It's interesting how we think that professionals have it all together when it comes to the industry that they're serving, but as you'll soon hear, there was a time when Rachel struggled with imposter syndrome and binge eating. Rachel shared why diets didn't work long-term and spoke about what inspired her to delve into intuitive eating. I also asked Rachel how we can figure out if a normalized behavior is, in fact, disordered eating, so she offered some great advice on that as well. @nechamit @dietitian.rachelgoodman Free eGuide: 3 Steps to Stop Feeling Out of Control with Food https://rachelgoodmanrd.kartra.com/page/7NG39 Free Video Training: 3 Steps to Boost Your Coaching Confidence https://rachelgoodmanrd.kartra.com/page/food-freedom-for-professionals Instagram: instagram.com/dietitian.rachelgoodman Website: rachelgoodnutrition.com Podcast: More Than What You Eat https://rachelgoodnutrition.com/podcast/ Grab your favorite lipstick and eyeshadow shades and support organizations devoted to women's healing and empowerment.

S1 Ep 75When the Curtains Close with Pop Singer-Songwriter Andee
Tonight's interview features pop singer-songwriter Andee. Andee shared the evolution of her singing career and how it began when she was just a child. Andee first won the hearts of audiences through appearances in the TV show Star Academie, has toured with famous performers such as Demi Lovato and Lady Gaga, and opened for Bryan Adams. Her song "Sorries," co-written by superstar Pink also achieved tremendous success with radio stations across the country. Her first single, "Never Gone," reached the Canadian top 40. Andee spoke about how her struggle with depression and body image issues started when she was a teenager and her journey towards love and self-acceptance. Andee spoke about being diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder, a mental disorder that causes dramatic shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to think clearly. This medical condition causes a person to cycle through periods of depression and elevated mood (euphoria, exceptional energy, risky behaviors…). Some people with Bipolar type 1 will experience psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations during severe bipolar episodes of mania or depression. A person having a psychotic episode is disconnected from reality. This was Andee's case. Anti-psychotic medication is necessary for her. Andee shares how things started making sense once she received that diagnosis and how it took her time to accept and be open about her diagnosis fully. She also shared her struggle to accept herself with her imperfections, how everyone struggles with something, and her journey towards self-acceptance and self-love. Andee also shares the moments she's struggled with feeling visible and how she was able to release the way her albums performed from her self-worth. She spoke about how she worked to love every part of herself and how she's able to work through the hard days. @andeeofficial @Nechamit Grab your favorite lipstick and eyeshadow shades and support organizations devoted to women's healing and empowerment.

Maayan and I also bonded over our gummy smiles and spoke about being self-conscious about that feature and how our uniqueness is really what makes us beautiful! Maayan spoke about how she encourages her dance students to love their different parts and how self-talk helped her come to a place of body confidence and self-love.
