Today I am joined by Elizabeth Sherman for my final episode in my 4 part series. She’s a coach who helps her clients achieve their health goals alongside menopause without the toxic diet culture that often accompanies this. Her podcast, Done With Dieting, tackles the same issues with the help of experts across multiple fields. Today’s conversation is packed with ‘AHA’ moments about gender based conditioning, the pitfalls of perfectionism and unlearning behaviours that don’t serve us. Specifically, we talk about examining our whiteness and leaving behind learned behaviour that keeps us separate from ourselves and fellow women. We discuss the crucial difference between being nice and kind, and how this strongly feeds into the ‘Good Girl Syndrome’. We define this term and explore how it prevents us from operating from a place of compassion and honesty for fear of being perceived as “bitchy”. And finally, we illustrate how alienating the pursuit of perfectionism is, both for ourselves and for those around us. We touch on the ”gap and gain” theory as a method to help us achieve with self-compassion and unshakeable trust in the process.
