Happy Satiated Saturday! We are at the last episode of this month-long body image healing focus. And, I would be remiss if I didn't address our younger generations. Parents face a huge challenge now in navigating body image concerns with their kids as they face societal pressures from every angle to look a certain way. I work with so many parents w…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I have been asked many times over the years, "Is it alright to want to change my body?" To which I always respond, "Yes!" with a caveat that we explore your intention behind the body goal. Do your physique goals align with how you want to feel, what you want for your life, increasing presence, and fostering safety in your b…

When I spoke with my friend, Dr. Jen White, on SATIATE in this week’s brand new episode, we went deep with what happens if we choose to ignore, override, or bypass what our bodies are trying to tell us (through both sensations and symptoms). Dr. Jen White is a board-certified family nurse practitioner & doctor of nursing. Having healed her own seve…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I used to say, "I feel fat" all the time. These words would fly out of my mouth like it was a totally normal thing to say. I would say this in moments where I felt uncomfortable, overwhelmed, out of control, and a sense like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. But, not only is fat not a feeling, saying this in moments of emot…

Happy Satiated Saturday! How many years have you been working toward trying to love your body? How has that pursuit felt? Frustrating? Hopeless? Agonizing? Maybe all the suggestions on body image healing have been missing the mark. Maybe healing your relationship with your body and its appearance isn't about learning to love your body, but rather, …

Happy Satiated Saturday! This week's podcast episode got me reflecting on harm reduction. Harm reduction is a public health strategy designed to reduce the negative consequences associated with various human behaviors, particularly high-risk activities. It prioritizes minimizing harm rather than solely focusing on eliminating the behavior. Harm red…

Happy Satiated Saturday! What I have seen is that even after food coping mechanisms like binge eating, emotional eating, restricting, or chronic dieting stops, body image concerns continue to hang around the longest. With summer here, I know how difficult this time of year can be when the temperatures are guiding you to wear less clothing and you m…

Happy Satiated Saturday! My first memories of leaning on food to not feel takes me back to middle school. There were things going on at home that were way too much for such a young little girl to navigate and process. I was bullied at sleepaway camp and Hebrew School. I look back now and it makes total sense how my body guided me toward binge eatin…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I find the missing piece that is under-discussed about food freedom is that it's about you feeling empowered to make your own food decisions. This means that sometimes you say no to certain foods or drinks because they don't make you feel the way you want to feel. Saying no does not correlate to a lack of freedom. Freedom i…

Happy Satiated Saturday! A few weeks ago, my husband and I were reflecting on a research study that shows that making around $80,000 a year in the United States is the general amount that leads to emotional wellbeing and safety and anything above that doesn't actually lead to more happiness. When I looked this up, the optimal income name was called…

Happy Satiated Saturday! Recently, I put out a ​post​ on social media discussing how do you know when you need more or less structure with food. It was a clear yes that you all wanted me to go into more detail on this. It has been a common suggestion​ when healing your relationship with food that you need to eat all foods. Food habituation refers t…

Happy Satiated Saturday! While I would never wish the digestive issues I had in the past on anyone, they did teach me how to listen to my body because it would scream at me loudly if I didn't. And over time, it could speak softer and softer to me knowing that I was going to hear what it had to say. This didn't happen overnight. It took practice ove…

Happy Satiated Saturday! Is anyone else feeling fed up with all the conflicting advice on social media? You have diet and wellness culture yelling at you that there's only one right way to eat and anti-diet culture telling you that all foods need to fit. Neither side asks you what works for you. Neither side is guiding you on how to listen to your …

Happy Satiated Saturday! When I decided to start a podcast, the name came quickly to me. I had created a whole course that got merged with the Somatic Eating® Program that I called Satiated. Saying the word satiated always brings me this full body satisfaction. I love saying the word, feeling the word in my body, and reflecting on what it means to …

Happy Satiated Saturday! I've been speaking up a lot more about my thoughts on Intuitive Eating. First, I'm grateful for Intuitive Eating as it was a starting point in guiding many people into a more peaceful relationship with food. And, with any modality, over time we've seen that there are gaps in Intuitive Eating, yet it's been the predominant a…

After traveling to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands for almost 2 weeks, many of you requested that I share some tips on how to navigate food fears and body image concerns while traveling.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Did you know being entrenched in diet culture for decades can affect your bodily expression? One way this can show up is through tightening and sucking in your belly for years. I know this was something I used to do and sometimes have to remind my belly that's not something we need to do anymore. When you've received messag…

Have you heard of Internal Family Systems? This therapeutic model is one that I’ve personally been working with for a while so when a renowned IFS therapist reached out to me to ask about joining me on SATIATE, as you might imagine, that was a resounding YES!

It is the time of year when intentions are flying! The sad news is, most folks have already forgotten what their New Year's Intention even was. Unfortunately, some of them are flying out the window 🤯. Until recently, I had no idea there was an actual day in January called Quitter's Day. 😬 It kind of makes me cringe. While I don't normally buy into …

There is so much pain and tragedy in the world, and yet I know we are all still trying to go about our days getting our tasks done, being a calming presence for the many people in our lives, and smiling as we pass one another on the street or in the grocery store. How can we hold both? What would the world feel like if we could all be operating fro…

From (Almost) Burnout to Balance In this SOLO episode and the debut of a brand new season of SATIATE hear Sue's personal personal (and vulnerable) story of almost burnout to balance. Call it perimenopause, my aging wisdom, or deep intuition (I am still not sure), but I started waking up in the middle of the night with a terrible panic setting in. I…

Happy Satiated Saturday! As many of you know, I adore my dog, Tato. He's taught me a lot over the years about unconditional love, how to stop and literally smell the roses, and about boundaries. When Tato was 6 months old, we started taking him to puppy school to get some training. We learned early on that Tato gets overwhelmed easily and gets scar…

Happy Satiated Saturday! When everything goes haywire in your life, what's your first impulse? Do you isolate yourself from your friends, family, and those who love you when your stress levels reach a critical point? Self isolating can feel like a wise strategy in the moment. When you disconnect from those around you, it can feel like it's protecti…

Happy Satiated Saturday! After I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome around the age of 20, I dove deep into the holistic health world. I was not going to settle with the doctor's suggestion of just managing my stress and watching out for my triggers. I discovered so many resources to support my digestion and feel more at ease when eating an…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I first started learning about the vagus nerve when I did research for my published thesis on how to cultivate a relationship with the gut brain. The vagus nerve plays a role in hunger, satiation, cravings, taste buds, and digestion. So you can imagine that having a toned vagus nerve is highly important when you're trying t…

Happy Satiated Sunday! I remember during my binge eating years that at times I would be like, "What is going onnnnn!?!?!" Binge eating can be confusing and disorienting. It can at times be an out-of-body experience. Yet, sometimes, the emotions and sensations showing up in your body may feel like too much (I know at times they were for me) that you…

Happy Satiated Saturday! More and more adults in the U.S. are being diagnosed with adult ADHD. For many with adult ADHD, there is an overlap in struggling in their relationship with food. The impulsiveness that comes with ADHD can lead to binge eating or emotional eating behaviors and the time blindness can lead to restriction as a person forgets t…

Happy Satiated Sunday! With my feeling word of 2024 being vulnerable, this will be one of the most vulnerable things I've put out since starting the Satiated Podcast. I often share stories of the distant past and rarely share what's currently going on in my life or what I'm navigating. Yet, it is my life experiences that have cultivated so much of …

Happy Satiated Saturday! This holiday season, I've been offering the somatic resources I wish I'd had when I was healing my relationship with my food and body and one's that I've discovered along the way. Holidays had always brought up so much for me emotionally that I found myself binging or restricting to try to manage all of the emotions and sen…

Happy Satiated Saturday! What does the holiday season mean to you? What memories do you have around this time of year? The holiday season can be associated with warmth, joy, and togetherness. However, when you've experienced past trauma with family or in the environment you grew up in, this time of year can be a source of stress, triggering your bo…

Happy Satiated Saturday! As a kid, you couldn't get me to move. My mom tried to put me in dance and gymnastics and while I enjoyed both, neither stuck. I tried soccer and tennis. In soccer, I ended up kicking the ball to my best friend who was on the other team. In tennis, my favorite part was walking through the tunnels at the back of the indoor c…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I remember when I started to really slow down with my food. I would imagine where all the pieces of my meal came from to end up on my plate to support me in feeling vibrant in my body. I would picture the seed, the soil, the sun, the rain, and all of the people who tended to this food. It was an incredibly powerful experien…

Happy Satiated Sunday! I have often found the days after Thanksgiving to be harder than the days leading up. The days leading up, you may have had an inner planner making all of these strategies for you about what you were or were not going to eat, how you were going to respond to different people, what you were going to practice differently this y…

Happy Satiated Saturday! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this is a time when food coping mechanisms can increase. Thanksgiving has become a Hallmark holiday of family peacefully gathering around a table to express their gratitude for each other while eating a beautifully cooked meal. When in reality, it can be filled with dysregulating c…

Happy Satiated Sunday! I grew up with certain family members always making comments on other's appearance. I know very well how frustrating it can feel to constantly have your body talked about or be around people who talk about other's bodies as if this is a normal thing that we do. During the holiday season, receiving or hearing comments about wh…

Happy Satiated Saturday! There is a reason that processed foods can create a perceived sense of safety in your body. You can rely on processed foods. They’re consistent. They’re unwavering. They show up for you and taste exactly the same every. single. time. When you’ve experienced trauma, processed foods can provide you with short term security th…

Happy Satiated Saturday! Halloween candy was so important to me from a young age that on my very first Halloween I fell asleep with my plastic pumpkin full of candy next to me. There can be so much emotionally connected to candy. There can be joyful memories, regulating experiences with friends, and pleasure from eating it. And when you've been in …

Happy Satiated Saturday! “WHO is choosing your food?” is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself when trying to cultivate an empowering and regulating relationship with food. Your internalized mother, father, siblings, family, teachers, culture can be choosing your food at any meal instead of your present day self. It’s important to…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I'll be honest, this first episode back of the Satiated Podcast is going to be an edgy one. I chat with my dear friend Michelle Shapiro and we dive deep into, not only challenging diet culture but also anti-diet culture. I invited her back on the podcast because I kept seeing this divide happening that a person is either fo…

Happy Satiated Saturday! I really got to see my nervous system in action this past week. I spilled a whole bowl of soup onto myself, the couch, the floor, and into my computer. My body went into a freeze response, which took about 24 hours to come out of. During that time, I had very little appetite and it made me reflect on other times of my life …

Happy Satiated Saturday! I remember the first time I had a mindful eating experience. I was in an all day meditation class and we did the raisin exercise. This is a practice of taking a single raisin and feeling it in your fingers, smelling it, putting it up to your ear, and listening to it crinkle before eating it to bring in all of your senses. T…

Happy Satiated Saturday! Something I've noticed lately in the field of disordered eating recovery is that everyone has their beliefs on what they think is the optimal path you've got to start with to heal. For example, the approach that you need to be able to eat all foods can sometimes push you further away from your body as now you're following a…

Happy Satiated Saturday! Sometimes I feel like the aftermath of a binge is a more intense moment to manage than the binge itself. Afterward is when all the shame, harsh internal criticism, and self-judgment come in. The inner dialogue is loud and mean. This can send you in all sorts of directions, making promises you know will feel hard to keep, an…

Happy Satiated Saturday! The field of somatics has revolutionized trauma healing by bringing a greater understanding of the mind-body connection and the role of the body in trauma recovery. Traditionally, trauma healing focused primarily on addressing the psychological and cognitive aspects of trauma, often neglecting the physiological and somatic …

Happy Satiated Saturday! While the field of somatics is the study of the body, we cannot understand the body without its connection and integration with the mind. The field of somatics has evolved from what we have discovered from neuroscience. In this week’s episode, we explore some fascinating realms of neuroscience such as affective neuroscience…

Happy Satiated Saturday! You may hear bodywork and think of massages. Yet, hands-on bodywork can be so much more than this. Physical touch can be therapeutic in that it has a calming effect on the nervous system, helps to reduce stress, and promote physical relaxation. It can lower heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels, and supports the body …
