178: How Simi Botic Uses Barre to Connect to Unmeasured Movement (and How You Can Too!)

Nourishing Women Podcast

I am SO thrilled to have guest Simi Botic back on the show. Simi was last on the show in episode 78 sharing about overcoming perfectionism and the power of reinterpreting events. And today she is back to share about unmeasured movement to support your intuitive eating and living journey. Simi is one of my absolute favorite intuitive eating coaches and if you describe yourself as a perfectionist, you’re going to want to follow her and learn all that she has to share!

In this episode we discuss:

• What Simi has been up to since last on the show, and her 2020 goal to discuss intuitive movement.
• What inspired Simi to create the Barre membership group, Unmeasured.
• Simi shares why its called Unmeasured and why she believes movement should be about joy, not punishment.
• Tips for ways we can let go of the perfectionism and “should-ing” on ourselves about our exercise habits.
• Exploratory questions you can begin asking yourself to determine if exercise that day would be an act of self care, versus exercising out of self control.
• Simi shares what your relationship to rest can tell you about you relationship to movement.
• How Simi practices wellness without obsession.

Thank you to Ned for sponsoring today’s episode! I am thrilled to have Ned as a new podcast sponsor. I have been waiting to share about my love for CBD oil until I could find the right brand that aligned with my beliefs. Ned produces the highest quality full spectrum CBD oil, extracted from organically grown hemp plants in Colorado.

One of the things I love most about Ned is they do not cut corners in their production. Their CBD oil is made from gentle, slow extraction with no high temperatures or high pressure, and zero isolates and synthetic ingredients.

I had the pleasure of trying out their Cycle collection, made with CBD oil and botanicals that have antioxidant properties and major healing power. These salves, tinctures and roll-ons as part of the cycle collection can support hormone balance and easing period symptoms.

If you want to check out Ned and try them out for yourself, Ned is offering 15% off AND free shipping to my listeners by using the link included here in the shownotes or you can use the code NOURISHINGWOMEN to receive the discount.

Thank you to New Chapter for also sponsoring today’s episode. I am fascinated by traditions and the culture of food. Across the globe, for thousands of years, food is connected deeply into how we live, how we take care of ourselves and how we enjoy life.

Tradition isn’t about chasing the next “it” food, the swaying nutrition research based on the newest study and it’s not about a one fits all approach for your calorie allotment for the day. And thats why I’m a huge fan of herbalism, and my go to for any herbs I take- New Chapter, including their new daily multiherbals.

There are four multiherbal options for you to choose from, one for holistic health, one to power up, one for restful nights and one to de-stress.

Take the One Daily Multiherbal Sleep Well if you are ready to promote longer, most restful sleep you can wake up feeling refreshed*.

Clinical studied tart cherry can significantly increase sleep time and efficiency and even provides naturally occurring melatonin*. Sleep Well also contains relaxing and soothing herbs that are non-habit forming: passionflower, chamomile and ashwagandha.

Or the One Daily Stress Relief formulated with Aswagandha (one of my favorite adaptations to recommend!) to ease physical and mental stress*. It has also been shown to improve well-being and help our bodies respond and react better to stress by lowering cortisol levels*.

Black seed is also included in this multiherbal, for healthy mood, in addition to adaptogens Reishi mushroom and Holy Basil (also known as Tulsi). This multiherbal is an absolute powerhouse of adaptogens!

You can purchase New Chapter multiherbals on New Chapter’s website, CVS and local health food stores.
