It's ALL thought. Every single thing we see, hear, experience, is processed by our thinking. And what do we know about our thinking? It's like a filtering lens. A funhouse mirror warping mechanism, shaped by our past experiences. www.bekaelle.com Reach out to schedule a coaching session! <3

You know how to eat. You knew when you were a baby. If it feels complicated now, it's because there are some learned thought patterns making it look complicated. www.bekaelle.com Reach out if you're stuck. Through the end of 2022, the first session is free.
Sometimes we're so used to fear that we don't even realize how much we're holding all the time. What would it feel like if everything were just.... lighter? What if it gets to be fun? www.bekaelle.com Reach out to schedule a coaching session!
Your body isn't holding you back. Your thoughts about your body are. We tell ourselves stories about how we can't live the life we want because our body doesn't fit the expectation. You only want to change your body because you think it will make you feel good. But you can feel good now. And feeling good will help your body adjust to whatever ultimately serves you most. www.bekaelle.com Reach out to schedule a session! Til the end of 2022, the first one is free, and subsequent ones can be purcha...
We're used to saying, "who am I to do this?" What I want to know is, who are you NOT to do it? www.bekaelle.com Reach out if you're feeling stuck! Til the end of 2022: the first session is free, and later sessions can be purchased individually!
Are you in your thoughts or in your body? We tend to numb out in order to avoid feelings. But really what we're avoiding is the story we attach to the feeling. www.bekaelle.com If you're feeling stuck, reach out ! Until the end of the year, I'm offering the first coaching session free. Thanks for listening!
Amanda, The Silicon Dancer, is a dancer and engineer. Her fascinating story involves her transition from the ballet world to engineering, and then back into commercial dance. She lives, teaches, and performs in the Seattle area, but visits LA often. She happened to be in town for a project we're working on, and I'm so grateful that she was willing to share her story on the podcast! We talk about dance, engineering, body image, anxiety, and forging your own path. You can find more information abo...
We hear people say all the time, "I don't wanna get my hopes up." What's behind that, really? Why do we think "hope" is a bad thing? This episode is about how you can handle disappointment. And when you live life without fear of disappointment, great stuff happens. www.bekaelle.com From now until the end of the year, you can get the first session free, and book individual sessions rather than packages! Reach out for details....
You can change this episode title to "stop believing all of your thoughts" if it feels better that way. Your thoughts paint your world. But they're also largely picked up from other peoples' fear stories. How do we know what thoughts to believe, when our mind is contradicting itself all the time? There's another place to look from, which is much more peaceful. www.bekaelle.com Reach out for a coaching session- the first one is free until the end of the year!

Halloween is approaching, which means we're entering the holiday season! I love this time of year. But it used to come with a lot of pain when I struggled with food and overthinking.

What if they could actually be... holidays?! www.bekaelle.com Special holiday season offer (Oct 18 thru Jan 3): single-session coaching packages, first one free!

The word "coach" means different things to different people. Here's how I view my role. Or, you can let me "show" you, by setting up your free first session! www.rebeccagagnon.com
Going with the flow. Easier said than done sometimes. This episode is about how nature has seasons and cycles, and you are a part of nature, so it's natural that you will have seasons and cycles too. We can trust rather than force. www.rebeccagagnon.com Disclaimer: I'm not a licensed therapist or mental health professional.
Ah, the food thing. "What the heck should I eat?" is a question that I asked for a long time when I struggled with excessive restriction, binge eating, and bulimia. Here are the key insights around food choices that helped me come back to my innate health. Mentioned are Dr. Amy Johnson and Josie Spinardi (two people that helped ease my pain in this area). www.rebeccagagnon.com Disclaimer: I'm not a therapist or other type of mental health professional and my advice should not be taken as profess...
You are so safe. Your true nature can't be tarnished or broken.

It's been a bit since I've put out a podcast. This one's theme is: when you think you've cracked open, just wait, cuz you're about to crack open more. I talk about some things I learned on my recent trip to Costa Rica, how our minds are wrong a lot, and also some insights from a book I read about a donkey sanctuary. www.rebeccagagnon.com "Sanctuary: The True Story of an Irish Village, a Man Who Lost His Way, and the Rescue Donkeys That Led Him Home", by Patrick Barrett and Susy Flory, 2022 DISCL...
If you're like me, the desire to be great at things adds so much pressure that you're too scared to even try. This episode is about sidestepping perfectionism, and viewing mistakes as a good thing, because they're the only way to get better. This is the first AudioBlog episode! (AudiBlog? idk... still working out the branding). Bottom line: I decided to start reading my blog posts on my podcast, because sometimes listening is easier than reading. The original blog post can be found here: https:/...
In this episode, I talk about how I see strategies- tools, programs, hacks, self-help, diets- now, vs how I did before. Sometimes we employ a strategy in an effort to feel better, but the stressing and perfectionism around it actually does the opposite. When we're in touch with the peace underneath our minds, we're not frantically solving to fix an unworthy self; we're naturally exploratory and curious, moving towards what is good for us. www.rebeccagagnon.com DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed the...
If you struggle with overanalyzing everyday decisions, this one is for you! I explain what I've seen about how we make decisions, how our mind tries to talk us out of doing stuff that's important to us, and how the mind slaps a label on our passing feelings (and is often incorrect). www.rebeccagagnon.com DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed therapist or medical professional, and my services are not intended to diagnose, prescribe, or treat any medical condition, be that physical or mental.

In this episode, I talk about the unconscious mind... how I used to see it when I was struggling with binge eating and bulimia, compared to how I see it now. I talk about what I've learned about the evolution of the psychology world's definition of the unconscious, and how the old model seemed to trickle down into the less-helpful recovery advice that I got. Some referenced articles/studies: https://www.simplypsychology.org/unconscious-mind.html https://phys.org/news/2008-02-electron.html https:...
Yesterday's episode was a little spicy, so I wanted to chill the vibes out a bit by walking back on some things. I talk about how this was a good example of being new at stuff and being not on point at first but not letting that stop you. In other words... "doing stuff anyway"... even when it's scary and uncomfortable. www.rebeccagagnon.com DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed therapist or medical professional, and my services are not intended to diagnose, prescribe, or treat any medical condition, b...
Felt ranty, might delete later :) This title is mostly clickbait... but yeah... this week is a little bit of a rant-i-sode :P I ramble about social media, how my thinking ramps up around it, and what I've come to see about that. Just an honest take of where I'm at this week. www.rebeccagagnon.com DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed therapist or medical professional, and my services are not intended to diagnose, prescribe, or treat any medical condition, be that physical or mental.

In this episode, I talk about body image! It also happens to be the first-ever hike-isode... which means, I was hiking while recording. Tbh, I might never do that again, unless I get a lot of positive feedback about the heavy breathing. Body image obsession was the thing that brought me to this understanding, because it was the root behind my disordered eating. I'm excited to share the first couple of insights with you. www.rebeccagagnon.com DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed therapist or medical p...
