Save your seat in my “Why Diets Die and Habits Live” workshop happening on June 29th, 2019 here.

Finding the balance in our worth being found in aesthetics and body image versus health is a struggle.

The real enemy is the culture that surrounds us.

Culture has created the values, thoughts, and feelings we have about ourselves.

This week’s guest and I chat about all things body kindness, image, and compassion.

My guest this week is Rebecca Scritchfield who is a well-being coach, registered dietitian nutritionist, ACSM certified exercise physiologist, and author of the book, Body Kindness: Transform your health from the inside out and never say diet again (Workman Publishing).

Through her weight-inclusive Body Kindness counseling practice, Rebecca helps people reject diets and body shame to create a better life with workable, interesting self-care goals to fit individual’s needs and preferences, not society’s unrealistic weight and beauty standards.

Rebecca has influenced millions through her writing, podcast, workshops, and appearances in over 100 media outlets including NBC Nightly News, CNN, the TODAY show, O Magazine, Real Simple, Time, and many others. Rebecca is a freelance writer for The Washington Post and Self magazine, an advisor to Health Magazine (2019) and Diversify Dietetics and a mom of two young girls. She lives in Washington, D.C., where she was recognized as one of ten “Supermom” entrepreneurs in the Nation’s Capital.

In this episode we dive into:

  • The familiar chronic dieting roller coaster to be “healthy”
  • Why culture is the enemy of negative self-worth
  • Why physical health is not tied to a number
  • Feel the feels to spiral up in emotion and better naked
  • How we take care of our self in one season looks different than how I will take care of myself in another season in my life
  • What Body Kindness is and the 3 pillars that build it
  • The phrase that is powerful to help you thrive
  • How powerful the word “yet” is to the growth mindset
You can find her book, Body Kindness, and connect with Rebecca here.
