In this deeply honest and emotional episode, Shilamida opens up about her ongoing journey with food. The cravings, the emotional eating, and the guilt that comes after. Following last week’s conversation on her food awakening, this episode dives into what food freedom really means and why it’s one of the hardest awakenings of all.She shares her truth about living in a body that’s still learning, breaking generational patterns, and unlearning the “good girl / bad girl” language so many of us use when it comes to food. You’ll hear how she’s now studying somatics through a 10-month certification with the Soma School of Somatics, and how movement, breath, and awareness are helping her rewrite her relationship with nourishment, safety, and comfort.If you’ve ever turned to food for comfort, celebration, or relief, this conversation will feel like coming home.In this episode, Shilamida talks about: ✨ Her lifelong struggle with emotional eating and shame ✨ Why food can trigger safety, comfort, and dopamine in the body ✨ The link between somatic healing and breaking food cycles ✨ How she’s using movement, awareness, and compassion to change her patterns ✨ The power of rewriting your stories — and that you’re not alone in the processMentioned in this episode: 🍎 Rooted – a 10-month certification course from the Soma School of Somatics that Shilamida recently enrolled in to deepen her work with emotional and body-based healing.Shilamida also invites you to explore: 💫 Remedy — her guide to living a cleaner, toxin-free life by swapping out the everyday foods and products that don’t love you back. If you’re ready to feel clear, aligned, and vibrant in your body again, Remedy is your perfect next step.
Awakening isn’t cute at first. When the wool lifts, you start seeing food, products, and “normal” habits with new eyes—and it can feel lonely. In this episode, Shilamida shares her early food awakening: from coupon-clipped fast food and candy-in-class to discovering how fluoride, gluten, dairy, corn, and food dyes were impacting her body, mood, and clarity.She talks about the pineal gland (your “third eye”) and why clearing it matters, the chi/energy of fresh foods vs. packaged foods, and the pivotal teachers and moments that shifted everything—from ditching the Dunkin’ “light & sweet” to reading labels and watching inflammation drop. If you’re standing at the edge of your own awakening, this one is your loving nudge to start with one swap and keep going.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why awakening feels hard before it gets easy (and why that’s normal)Fluoride, pineal gland clarity, and seeing through conditioningThe energetic difference between real food and packages with no chiEarly, practical swaps: toothpaste, gluten/dairy/corn, food dyesHow inflammation shows up—and how quickly your body can respondGiving yourself permission to learn, experiment, and choose better dailyMentions & ideas referenced:Acupuncture school lessons on nutrition & chi (Dr. Dave Mainetti)Kinesiology testing and discovering sensitivitiesBooks/voices referenced in passing: Wheat Belly, Dr. Joe DispenzaRecommended by ShilamidaRemedy - your starter path to cleaner living. If you’re ready to swap the everyday products and pantry staples that don’t love you back, Remedy helps you make simple, sustainable changes without the overwhelm. Think: easy swaps, label literacy, and a calmer, clearer body to match your awakening.Listen, share, and leave a rating if this episode supported you. The more of us who awaken, the less lonely it feels—and the easier it gets.
What does it mean to live in truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, scary, or unpopular?In this raw and emotional episode, recorded on September 11th, Shilamida opens her heart about the passing of Charlie Kirk, the culture of hate that surfaced around it, and her own lifelong journey of stepping into truth as her highest frequency. She reflects on the times she’s been silenced, the fears that have come with speaking boldly, and the soul contracts that repeat until we choose to rise above them.From shadow work and past-life memories to navigating cancel culture and standing firm in her purpose, Shilamida shares what it looks like to embody courage, compassion, and conviction — even when it feels easier to stay quiet.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why truth is often scarier than gratitude — and why it matters moreHow cancel culture triggered deep fear, shame, and shadow workThe cycle of tests that come back at every new level of growthLearning to forgive yourself when bitterness takes overWhy your voice matters, even if it blinds or triggers others
Welcome back to Fifty Shades of Shilamida! Season 2 kicks off with a powerful reminder: life doesn’t have to be that hard—it gets to be that easy.In this episode, Shilamida gets real about the conditioning we carry from childhood, the weight of other people’s opinions, and how often we make things harder than they need to be. She shares her own journey of toning down her power to fit in, the lessons she’s learned through mentorship and meditation, and the courage it takes to fully step into your truth.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” or found yourself stuck in “should energy,” this episode will inspire you to release the noise, claim your magnetism, and remember that your path is yours alone to walk.✨ Tune in and let this conversation be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for: it really does get to be that easy.Connect with Shilamida on IG @50shadesofshilamida and FB @Shilamida FriedmanJoin Shilamida’s monthly membership www.shilamida.com

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it will never work out? Well guess what… All of your dreams can come true! Welcome back to another episode of 50 Shades of Shilamida! Today let’s take a trip down memory lane back to when I met and interviewed Bethanny Frankel, which actually prompted me to begin my coaching journey in 2017. It all started with my first speaking event called Mega Speaker. I had a huge event the same day, but something in my gut told me to postpone the event and go - which turned out to be the best decision I made. The coaching journey thus begun. My acupuncture business was booming at that point and I had written and released my first gratitude journal in just 6 months: 31 Days of Gratitude Create The Life You Desire. The power of manifestation and creating the life you desire is truly powerful and magical. The coaching industry has been a life-changing experience and I cannot express more gratitude to how amazing it has made my life.

Let’s talk Gratitude! In today’s episode, we explore the profound truth that "Gratitude is the most important piece of life”. Imagine this: I was a single mom, living on food stamps - my life was in shambles. At time I would ask myself why I should be grateful and what I had to be grateful for. What I didn’t realize is that thought was keeping me from living out the life I always desired.

I would try to find the gratitude in everything around me, practicing everyday and FEELING the shift. Join me at the end of the episode with a special healing and transformative gratitude meditation.
