It's easy to find a million reasons why you shouldn't take the time for yourself, invest in yourself, shift your relationship with food.  Women have been brainwashed to believe that doing anything for themselves is selfish and frivolous.  But what if?

Our final day together… *snif*  It’s been an amazing week and I hate for it end. But if it must end, then let's blow this thing out of the water, yes? Day 7 it’s about letting the JUiCINESS you've been cultivating all week, flow from food, body, and movement into - and all over - your LIFE. Caitlin Moran recently released a new book. In it, she describes the moment she realized that diet culture had found a way to weasel in and set up shop INSIDE her teenage daughters. No longer just floating around in the ether but living inside them - convincing them they’re too ugly and too large, and consequently, worth very little.  It’s heartbreaking to read - as a woman with daughters and a woman who remembers all too well that same moment in her own life.  I spend the better part of each and every work day coaching women through this moment, and the years that follow. Before reading this book I felt fairly certain I had all the analogies and tools and strategies that I’d ever need. But I was wrong. Caitlin somehow manages to convey all the messages and analogies and power of this work in one simple paragraph. I’m going to do a dastardly job of paraphrasing here but I know you’ll forgive me because the message is worth it! Here goes… She says - of the quote “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” - it’s not your job in life to be the beauty. It’s not your job to bend and mold yourself into a shape that others might deem beautiful (or not). Your job is to BE THE BEHOLDER. To build a life that feels beautiful to YOU. And that, my gorgeous gumdrop, is your action item for the day. Tune in to today's episode for more details and then hop over to Instagram to join in on the conversation and WIN SOME PRIIIIIZES!

Ooooh, mama! Are you ready for today?! She’s a BIGGIE! It’s day 6 of the Juicy Body challenge - we’ve gotten to know each other a bit, I’ve been pushing you to trust yourself and now (NOW!) I want you to trust me. Because today is all about the erotic. Living it. Breathing it. Bringing it into your life. When I say the word erotic, I always conjure up an image of a very bad, purple-y website filled with dated pictures, clip art, Papyrus font, and cheap see-through materials.  70s-era sexy. But that’s not the kind of erotic I’m talking about. I want you to think fresh, vital, vibrant, and modern. Hot pink and red. Playful and flirty. I want you to think - EROS. Eros is a connection to the physical pleasures of the world that inspire and motivate. It’s not just about sex, though that’s a pretty great piece of the puzzle - it’s about possessing the qualities of curiosity, fun, and spontaneity that take life from mundane to magical. That reminds us our time on this spinning globe of water + tectonic plates is supposed to be an adventure! “The erotic landscape is vastly larger, richer, and more intricate than the physiology of sex or any repertoire of sexual techniques. It’s the unexpected yet welcomed touch on a great first date; running into a dear old friend and absconding together for a drink; traveling to a brand new place and experiencing it unfold before you. As Octavio Paz has implied, eroticism is the poetry of the body the way that poetry is the eroticism of language. Eroticism is cultivating pleasure for its own sake. It’s about bringing adventure back into play and creativity into our lives.” - Esther Perel Absconding for a drink! Isn't that the best?! Everyday translation: I want you to work to bring PLEASURE, in all its forms back into your life. Your challenge, today, is to do something that feels indulgently GOOD for no other reason than it feels good.

If I had to place my money on something (and I’m the kind of woman who spends a whopping 25 cents on a slot machine while in Las Vegas for a week - you know- a real gambling kinda gal) I’d bet that you don’t have a fabulous relationship with exercise. If you do - that’s great. Seriously, you smelly like fairy farts and that 25 cents is ALL YOURS. But if you don’t - or if you’re interested in mixing things up abit - I’d love for you to try something new on for size. I’d like you to stop doing the exercise you THINK you should do or the exercise you ALWAYS do, and explore what movement might feel good in your body right now. Today is all about widening the range of activities that we consider "exercise". It's about experimenting to see if your body might want/need something new, shrugging off ideas about the "right" way to move, and listening to what your body is asking for.  AKA Internally led movement AKA Juicy Body Moving Tune in to today's episode for more details on how to explore Juicy Body Movement in a whole new way... and then hop over to Instagram to join in on the conversation and WIN a $30 gift card to Starbucks!

It’s day four of the challenge, we're at the halfway(ish) mark, and I'd like to take a moment to cheer you on from my chair... You’re here. You’re learning, experimenting, getting curious and just being a general rock star. THANK YOU! This work has transformed my relationship with food, body, and MY HEALTH in incredible ways and I love that I get to share it with you.  Let’s recap what you’ve done so far: You’ve tuned in to how you feel IN and ABOUT your body You’ve begun to identify the diet culture voice in your head, so you can separate yourself from it You’ve tuned in to internal regulators and you’re playing with trusting them It’s all a bit tricky, I know. This work takes time and practice to embody but becoming aware of what needs to change - in order to relate differently to nutrition and body - is the first step. You’re on your way!!! Moving on to today… Let's talk DREAM MEALS. My ideal meal is a big huge salad, filled with vegetables, a roasted nut or seed of some sort, possibly a dried fruit, and a bit of feta. Serve that chaos up with a side of hot fries and a cold glass of sauvignon blanc (or Kombucha), and I’m a pig in shit.  I also love the comfort of pasta (long noodles only, obviously. I’m not 5), with garlic and olive oil, and a ton of parm and pepper. I prefer to eat it out of a huge bowl that I share with my husband, while we plan for a super sexy night that may or may not happen - depending on how long it takes to get the kids to bed. #romance I feel most nourished when I eat a balance of fresh produce and more-ish carbs. Did you notice?  I didn’t mention specific servings sizes, or foods to fear, or how to cut things out?  {Note: If you avoid certain foods for medical, religious, or sensitivity reasons - that’s cool. This doesn't apply to those types of limitations} Juicy Body Eating is all about focusing on what makes your body feel good + nourished your emotional self + allows for connection with others...

Are you making your breakfast decisions or is Gwyneth Paltrow? Are you deciding when you’re hungry or are you leaving that up to Gary Taubes (fun fact: I just had to google a Keto “expert” to insert in here. lol) Do you know what satiates you or is Good Housekeeping magazine telling you what foods are filling? Do you know when you're full or is your point counter calling the shots? My point: are you truly tuned into your body or are you letting outside “experts”, books, magazines, blogs, tv, scales, and trackers make all the decisions? Are you outsourcing your well-being? Are you trusting “THEM” more than you trust you? Note: I keep putting the word EXPERT in air quotes which I realize is a bit cheeky because experts do exist (hi!!!) but I want you to begin questioning anyone who thinks they know your body better than you do and encourages you to consistently override what your body is asking for. You here me?? It's time to take back your power. Yesterday, I encouraged you to begin to get to know the diet culture voice in your head - the one that reinforces all those food and weight rules, from all those external places and "experts", that you've picked up along the way. The goal? To separate yourself from the voice that's creating all the drama in your head, so you can do what I'm gonna ask you to do today.  Today is all about becoming INTERNALLY led. As in, checking in with your body and making decisions based on what is right for YOU.

It’s Day two of the Juicy Body Challenge, baby! Are you ready to jump off a cliff with me? No? You didn’t realize that’s what you were signing up for? Well - it a metaphorical cliff, if that makes you feel better? The metaphorical cliff is called TRUST. The foundation of a juicy body and a juicy body life is TRUST. Trusting yourself to know what’s right for you - and in moments of confusion, trusting that you’ll seek out the answers you need until you find them. And trusting that if you make a mistake, at any point along the road, you can course correct. TRUST. She’s a biggie. And your trust journey, my lovely little kumquat, starts today. Today you begin to shed old ideas about how women SHOULD eat, what they SHOULD eat, when they SHOULD eat and why… and you’re gonna figure out how the heck you actually LIKE to eat. What feels ideal in your body? How food, in all of it’s sensorial divineness, fits into your ideal life. The first step? Becoming of aware of the ways that old programming is still controlling you and getting in the way of TRUST. Your action for today is to be on the lookout for old diet mentality and FOOD RULES.

In this episode Jill discusses our cyclical nature - and how it's misinterpreted as bad, falling "off track", or self-sabotaging. Old programming about your body will lead you to believe that you should be static, linear, and never-changing. That your food quantity and variety should never change, nor should your movement routines - but different seasons ask for different things from us - and summer is a season of slowing down (even as we bop from one social event to the next) to experience and savour. It's natural to let our routines fall away.  It's also natural to feel the pull of routine and rhythm as the season draws to a close.  Other things she chats about: clarifying the slightly controversial name for this series who the series is for her new Juicy Body GROUP workshop - it's free and it's coming up on September 15th. register via the link below!
