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? Being around familiar people and environments spark our habitual responses that we may not even be conscious of what is happening.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Have you ever said, "I've just got too much on my plate right now." How does it feel when you say this to yourself? Does it calm you down or increase your stress and anxiety? This is such an interesting saying. We all understand how it feels to feel physically over full. To process the sensations of feeling overly full often just takes time as our body works to process, assimilate, and digest all the nourishment we took in. So how do we process feeling emotionally over f...

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. I cried for those voices who have not been heard for the past 4 years. I cried for those who have felt unsafe and unseen in this country. I cried for feeling renewed hope. And this is just one small tiny step toward the world we imagine we want to live in; one where everyone feels s...

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. Because this food became something that was only made every now and then, I always overate when it was offered. Unknowingly, at the time, I had a lot of fear that I didn't know when I was going to get to eat that Ta...

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 can become to navigate. If you have been on a path of self acceptance for a while or are just beginning, in this week’s epis...

Happy Satiated Saturday! Something you should know about me is I challenge everything. If I say something, I question it.

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.

We're receiving the same message again and again even from health professionals striving to stray away from diet culture still put out rules around what to eat or not to eat.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Isn't it absurd the amount of different kinds of diets that exist now? A lot of these have so much buzz around them that following them becomes a part of someone's identity. To eat something off of the "prescribed meal plan" can cause so much anxiety for some that it brings up questions around who they are as a person. This episode was sparked by a reflection of a lot of media coverage on a specific celebrity’s weight loss. Ultimately, anyone’s weight change, celebrity o...
