Today we are with Rachel Hills, and our conversation gets raw, real, and deep. And it's loooooong and juicy! We talk about all the things, including her religious upbringing and the overlaps with diet culture, her personal struggle with body image and food, motherhood, miscarriages, health struggles. We dive into shame and how underneath it is a belief that you can change, how your personality is not your trauma responses and why we romanticize our EDs and thinness. AND SO MUCH MORE. It's an awesome conversation that I hope you love as much as I do.
Her Bio:
I’m a wife, mother of 3 teenagers, hairstylist of 21 years and a trauma informed breathwork facilitator. My absolute favorite thing in the world is to lead women to their own healing, through breath, teaching and simple practices so they can live their most authentic, amazing lives! I also really love exclamation marks!

Inner Child work plays a powerful role in healing your relationship with food and your body because many of our earliest experiences of Diet Culture, body shame, trauma or feelings of not being enough/loveable, etc. happened in childhood. Those experiences impact how we relate to food and our body.
Use this meditation to connect to your inner child and offer her/him/them some unconditional love and attention.

In today's episode, we talk with Dacy Gillespie, an online personal stylist, about the messages that we have received about what we "should" and "shouldn't" wear based on our body, age, and weight so we can unpack them and connect more to our authentic style and self-expression.

Topics we cover:
What "flattering" really means
The role patriarchy and White Supremacy have in clothing messages and choices
The oppressive messages we get about what to wear and how to work through them
The problem with hanging on to clothes that don't fit
What do to about an ever-changing body as we age

If you identify as an emotional eater, or someone who eats their feelings, you might not be sure how to actually feel your feelings, this breathwork practice will show you how to feel & process your emotions. I do not see emotional eating as a problem, rather I see it as a check-engine light, inviting you to look under the hood so you can learn more about ourself and your needs. This practice is a perfect way to do just that!
