Facing Food Fears and Discovering Your Food Home Base Through Ancestral Eating with Lisa Mase
April 21, 2024 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! While I would never wish the digestive issues I had in the past on anyone, they did teach me how to listen to my body because it would scream at me loudly if I didn't. And over time, it could speak softer and softer to me knowing that I was going to hear what it had to say. This didn't happen overnight. It took practice over and over again to listen to what my body was trying to say and the place it spoke to me the loudest was through food. This is why I consider...
How Trauma and Mental Health Issues Will Affect The Foods You're Drawn to Eating with David Wiss
April 14, 2024 01:00 - 49 minutes - 34.2 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! Is anyone else feeling fed up with all the conflicting advice on social media? You have diet and wellness culture yelling at you that there's only one right way to eat and anti-diet culture telling you that all foods need to fit. Neither side asks you what works for you. Neither side is guiding you on how to listen to your body. Neither side is empowering you that only you're going to know what's best for you. So you might consider quitting both diet and anti-diet...
What is Satiation And How Do You Create It In Your Body? With Sue Van Raes
April 07, 2024 05:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! When I decided to start a podcast, the name came quickly to me. I had created a whole course that got merged with the Somatic Eating® Program that I called Satiated. Saying the word satiated always brings me this full body satisfaction. I love saying the word, feeling the word in my body, and reflecting on what it means to live a Satiated Life. This is a term I teach in the Somatic Eating® Program (reminder that doors are still open if you want to join this upcom...
The Truth Of Why Intuitive Eating May NOT Be Working For You When Healing Disordered Eating
March 31, 2024 04:00 - 13 minutes - 9.22 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I've been speaking up a lot more about my thoughts on Intuitive Eating. First, I'm grateful for Intuitive Eating as it was a starting point in guiding many people into a more peaceful relationship with food. And, with any modality, over time we've seen that there are gaps in Intuitive Eating, yet it's been the predominant approach to healing patterns of disordered eating and eating disorders for decades. When it was first created it was revolutionary and healin...
Understanding Your Food and Body Image Impulses While Traveling and What To Do About Them
March 24, 2024 03:00 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! After traveling to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands for almost 2 weeks, many of you requested that I share some tips on how to navigate food fears and body image concerns while traveling. There's this messy middle part when you're healing from disordered eating where you won't know what your body is trying to tell you and when you travel, your sympathetic nervous system can be triggered easily where it's even more difficult to hear what your body has to say and w...
How Diet Culture Armors Your Body and Using Hanna Somatics to Soften Again with Aimee Takaya
March 17, 2024 03:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! Did you know being entrenched in diet culture for decades can affect your bodily expression? One way this can show up is through tightening and sucking in your belly for years. I know this was something I used to do and sometimes have to remind my belly that's not something we need to do anymore. When you've received messages about how your body is supposed to look, your body can start to try to shape itself to the images you show it and the messages it's receivi...
Mastering Embodied Boundaries With Food That Prevent Sparking A Binge Eating Experience
February 25, 2024 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.73 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! As many of you know, I adore my dog, Tato. He's taught me a lot over the years about unconditional love, how to stop and literally smell the roses, and about boundaries. When Tato was 6 months old, we started taking him to puppy school to get some training. We learned early on that Tato gets overwhelmed easily and gets scared of other dogs. So what the trainers started to do when we arrived, is they would set us up in a corner and put a gate in front of him. Now,...
A Guide for Loved Ones Supporting Your Healing from Disordered Eating
February 18, 2024 05:00 - 7 minutes - 5.51 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! When everything goes haywire in your life, what's your first impulse? Do you isolate yourself from your friends, family, and those who love you when your stress levels reach a critical point? Self isolating can feel like a wise strategy in the moment. When you disconnect from those around you, it can feel like it's protecting you from being in your body and how you feel. Connection brings sensation. If sensation feels like too much to digest then distancing from ...
Breaking Free from Binge Eating and Digestive Issues Through The Magic of Herbs with Olivia Amitrano
February 04, 2024 06:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! After I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome around the age of 20, I dove deep into the holistic health world. I was not going to settle with the doctor's suggestion of just managing my stress and watching out for my triggers. I discovered so many resources to support my digestion and feel more at ease when eating any meal. Herbs continued to support me after a big binge. This is why I've always fallen in the middle of that food matters and food doesn't m...
Creating Safety with Food Through Toning Your Vagus Nerve
January 28, 2024 04:00 - 6 minutes - 4.85 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I first started learning about the vagus nerve when I did research for my published thesis on how to cultivate a relationship with the gut brain. The vagus nerve plays a role in hunger, satiation, cravings, taste buds, and digestion. So you can imagine that having a toned vagus nerve is highly important when you're trying to cultivate a peaceful and regulating relationship with food. In this week’s episode, you'll learn about what the vagus nerve is and 5 ways y...
The Many Reasons Why You Binge Eat and Redefining What Restriction Is
January 21, 2024 20:00 - 8 minutes - 6.22 MBHappy Satiated Sunday! I remember during my binge eating years that at times I would be like, "What is going onnnnn!?!?!" Binge eating can be confusing and disorienting. It can at times be an out-of-body experience. Yet, sometimes, the emotions and sensations showing up in your body may feel like too much (I know at times they were for me) that you don't want to be IN your body. I often like to rename binge eating to protective eating. This kind of eating behavior is trying to protect a...
Healing The Binge-Restrict Cycle of Disordered Eating With Those Also Navigating ADHD with Aleta Storch
January 14, 2024 05:00 - 35 minutes - 24.8 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! More and more adults in the U.S. are being diagnosed with adult ADHD. For many with adult ADHD, there is an overlap in struggling in their relationship with food. The impulsiveness that comes with ADHD can lead to binge eating or emotional eating behaviors and the time blindness can lead to restriction as a person forgets to eat which can spark the restrict-binge cycle. For some (not all), ADHD can be a reaction to past trauma. If it didn’t feel safe to be here, ...
My Long Covid Journey and Listening to My Body's Somatic Wisdom After Losing My Ability to Swallow
January 08, 2024 00:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBHappy Satiated Sunday! With my feeling word of 2024 being vulnerable, this will be one of the most vulnerable things I've put out since starting the Satiated Podcast. I often share stories of the distant past and rarely share what's currently going on in my life or what I'm navigating. Yet, it is my life experiences that have cultivated so much of my wisdom and so I'll be sharing what I've been going through for the past two years with you all and also what I've learned about food and bo...
Holiday Somatic Reminders When Struggling With Your Food and Body
December 24, 2023 03:00 - 6 minutes - 4.34 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! This holiday season, I've been offering the somatic resources I wish I'd had when I was healing my relationship with my food and body and one's that I've discovered along the way. Holidays had always brought up so much for me emotionally that I found myself binging or restricting to try to manage all of the emotions and sensations arising in my body. Think of the holidays as the Olympics of practicing staying in relationship with yourself through every family, ...
Being With Your Body's Traumatic Memories During the Holidays in Food and Non-Food Ways
December 16, 2023 22:00 - 10 minutes - 7.31 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! What does the holiday season mean to you? What memories do you have around this time of year? The holiday season can be associated with warmth, joy, and togetherness. However, when you've experienced past trauma with family or in the environment you grew up in, this time of year can be a source of stress, triggering your body's survival states. This can also be a time when you're face to face with your body's memories of being around specific environments, homes, ...
Are You Overexercising? Discover How To Choose The Exercises That Will Regulate Your Body with Stephanie Roth-Goldberg
December 10, 2023 04:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! As a kid, you couldn't get me to move. My mom tried to put me in dance and gymnastics and while I enjoyed both, neither stuck. I tried soccer and tennis. In soccer, I ended up kicking the ball to my best friend who was on the other team. In tennis, my favorite part was walking through the tunnels at the back of the indoor court. The joy of moving started to come in when I got into musical theater and had to dance my way through shows. And then, in college, I was ...
How to Create a Joyful Nourishing Plate, Rediscover the Magic of Food, and Fall Back in Love with Eating with Lia Huber
December 03, 2023 05:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I remember when I started to really slow down with my food. I would imagine where all the pieces of my meal came from to end up on my plate to support me in feeling vibrant in my body. I would picture the seed, the soil, the sun, the rain, and all of the people who tended to this food. It was an incredibly powerful experience. Consuming a meal present in your body can bring an immense joy in feeding your body, respecting it, and giving it exactly what it needs....
Building a Relationship with Judgment That's Protecting You From Your Body
November 26, 2023 18:00 - 6 minutes - 4.73 MBHappy Satiated Sunday! I have often found the days after Thanksgiving to be harder than the days leading up. The days leading up, you may have had an inner planner making all of these strategies for you about what you were or were not going to eat, how you were going to respond to different people, what you were going to practice differently this year. Then, you go through the actual holiday. To quote Ram Dass, “If you think you are enlightened, go and spend a week with your family.” N...
Healing Binge Eating Disorder and its Connection with Trauma, Diet Culture, and Weight Stigma with Amy Pershing
November 19, 2023 06:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this is a time when food coping mechanisms can increase. Thanksgiving has become a Hallmark holiday of family peacefully gathering around a table to express their gratitude for each other while eating a beautifully cooked meal. When in reality, it can be filled with dysregulating conversation, overwhelming environments, and societally accepted binge eating. You may be picking up more cues of threat during this time, ...

How to Regulate Your Nervous System in the Face of Diet Culture Comments During the Holiday Season
November 13, 2023 02:00 - 8 minutes - 5.92 MBHappy Satiated Sunday! I grew up with certain family members always making comments on other's appearance. I know very well how frustrating it can feel to constantly have your body talked about or be around people who talk about other's bodies as if this is a normal thing that we do. During the holiday season, receiving or hearing comments about what you’re eating or how you look can put your body into a fight, flight, freeze, or flop state. When you’re around people you once relied on t...
Breaking Down the Facade of Diet Culture and the Lies it Tells Us About Perceived Control Over Our Body, Weight, and Health
November 04, 2023 19:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! There is a reason that processed foods can create a perceived sense of safety in your body. You can rely on processed foods. They’re consistent. They’re unwavering. They show up for you and taste exactly the same every. single. time. When you’ve experienced trauma, processed foods can provide you with short term security that you’re needing to feel like there’s some order in an uncontrollable world. If your mind has told you that you’re weak or addicted to eating ...
Breaking Down the Facade of Diet Culture and the Lies it Tells Us About Perceived Control Over Our Body, Weight, and Health with Katherine Metzelaar
November 04, 2023 19:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! There is a reason that processed foods can create a perceived sense of safety in your body. You can rely on processed foods.

Somatically Navigating Halloween Candy by Listening for Your Body's Story
October 29, 2023 05:00 - 9 minutes - 6.61 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! Halloween candy was so important to me from a young age that on my very first Halloween I fell asleep with my plastic pumpkin full of candy next to me. There can be so much emotionally connected to candy. There can be joyful memories, regulating experiences with friends, and pleasure from eating it. And when you've been in a binge-restrict cycle, candy can bring up fear, anxiety, overwhelm, and even terror. In this week’s episode, I talk about how it's not rea...
The Importance of Exploring Your Inner Voice and Cultivating Kind Compassionate Internal Conversations with Vasavi Kumar
October 22, 2023 03:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! “WHO is choosing your food?” is one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself when trying to cultivate an empowering and regulating relationship with food. Your internalized mother, father, siblings, family, teachers, culture can be choosing your food at any meal instead of your present day self. It’s important to get to know your internal voices to distinguish who is with you when you’re interacting with food. Our internal dialogues can be cultivated a...
Does Food Addiction Exist and What's the Middle Way Between Diet and Anti-diet Approaches? with Michelle Shapiro
October 15, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I'll be honest, this first episode back of the Satiated Podcast is going to be an edgy one. I chat with my dear friend Michelle Shapiro and we dive deep into, not only challenging diet culture but also anti-diet culture. I invited her back on the podcast because I kept seeing this divide happening that a person is either following the "rules" of diet culture or anti-diet culture. So when those I work with come to me and ask me if it's alright to want to lose we...
Losing your Hunger and Appetite After Experiencing Trauma
August 27, 2023 00:00 - 10 minutes - 7.36 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I really got to see my nervous system in action this past week. I spilled a whole bowl of soup onto myself, the couch, the floor, and into my computer. My body went into a freeze response, which took about 24 hours to come out of. During that time, I had very little appetite and it made me reflect on other times of my life where the trauma response felt so big in my body that it felt incredibly difficult to eat. I've been in more conversations with others lately ...
Somatic Eating® Meditation to Create Pre and Post Meal Body Regulation and Safety
August 20, 2023 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.03 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I remember the first time I had a mindful eating experience. I was in an all day meditation class and we did the raisin exercise. This is a practice of taking a single raisin and feeling it in your fingers, smelling it, putting it up to your ear, and listening to it crinkle before eating it to bring in all of your senses. Then, very slowly eating the raisin to actually taste it, as this is a food that is typically consumed in mindless handfuls. Over the years, I'...
Choosing Your Physical or Emotional Focus For Healing Based on Your Stage of Disordered Eating Recovery
August 06, 2023 03:00 - 9 minutes - 6.53 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! Something I've noticed lately in the field of disordered eating recovery is that everyone has their beliefs on what they think is the optimal path you've got to start with to heal. For example, the approach that you need to be able to eat all foods can sometimes push you further away from your body as now you're following a rule that you need to be able to eat all foods instead of listening to what foods ground and regulate you. On this healing adventure, you w...
Ending the Internal War of Shame and Guilt after Binge Eating with these Somatic Resources
July 30, 2023 03:00 - 7 minutes - 4.91 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! Sometimes I feel like the aftermath of a binge is a more intense moment to manage than the binge itself. Afterward is when all the shame, harsh internal criticism, and self-judgment come in. The inner dialogue is loud and mean. This can send you in all sorts of directions, making promises you know will feel hard to keep, and engaging in compensatory actions that don't align with your values of who you want to be. In this week’s episode, I discuss the three par...
The History of Somatics: Revolutionizing Trauma Healing
July 22, 2023 23:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! The field of somatics has revolutionized trauma healing by bringing a greater understanding of the mind-body connection and the role of the body in trauma recovery. Traditionally, trauma healing focused primarily on addressing the psychological and cognitive aspects of trauma, often neglecting the physiological and somatic manifestations of trauma in the body. Somatics, on the other hand, recognizes the inseparable link between the mind and body and the significa...
The History of Somatics: The Embodied Mind
July 16, 2023 03:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! While the field of somatics is the study of the body, we cannot understand the body without its connection and integration with the mind. The field of somatics has evolved from what we have discovered from neuroscience. In this week’s episode, we explore some fascinating realms of neuroscience such as affective neuroscience, somatic markers, polyvagal theory, and much more and how they have informed and shaped somatic approaches. You can also read the transcri...
The History of Somatics: The Healing Power of Touch
July 09, 2023 03:00 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! You may hear bodywork and think of massages. Yet, hands-on bodywork can be so much more than this. Physical touch can be therapeutic in that it has a calming effect on the nervous system, helps to reduce stress, and promote physical relaxation. It can lower heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels, and supports the body with entering into a state of deep relaxation and rest. Therapeutic touch can release endorphins and help alleviate physical pain and discomfo...
The History of Somatics: A Movement In Movement
July 02, 2023 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! There were two tracks at my graduate school in Somatic Psychotherapy. One was the Body Psychotherapy track, which is what I took, and the other was Dance Movement Therapy (DMT). The classes that I was able to take in DMT sometimes made me wish I had chosen that track of studies. The fitness culture has warped our beliefs around the purpose of movement. I've had clients say to me what's the point of moving their bodies if they're not trying to change their bodies....
The History of Somatics: The Pioneers
June 25, 2023 17:00 - 28 minutes - 19.4 MBHappy Satiated Sunday! I'm so excited for you to listen to the first episode on the history of somatics. It is fascinating to see just how far we've come in the world of somatics. When the idea that the body has wisdom to offer was first introduced, some of the original pioneers of somatics came out with some wild ideas. In this week’s episode, we will explore 7 pioneers who created and grew the field of somatics. I will talk about what they created and how they practiced with others t...
Introduction to the History of Somatics
June 18, 2023 03:00 - 3 minutes - 2.64 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I will be brief here except to share that I'm excited about a new mini-series on the podcast. In this week’s episode, I'll share with you the inspiration behind this series and what we will explore for the next several episodes. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/introduction-to-the-history-of-somatics Once you hear what this series is about, if you have a request for something you would like me to co...
Satiated Episode 175: The Physical Reasons That You Binge That Have Nothing To Do With Your Emotions
June 11, 2023 03:00 - 9 minutes - 6.65 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I explore a lot here on the nervous system dysregulation, trauma impacts, and emotional reasons that binge eating can occur. Yet, sometimes, binge eating has more to do with physical imbalances that have nothing to do with your emotional body. Or, as you cultivate more regulation and safety in your system, the physical realm is just as important to address as the emotional realm. In this week’s episode, I explore three physical reasons that contribute to patter...
Satiated Episode 174: Heal your Emotional Eating by Exploring your Body's Wisdom and Chakra Imbalances
June 04, 2023 03:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! For the first about 20 years of my life, I experienced my body as the enemy. I did battle with it. I numbed out to it. I didn't know how to listen to it. It felt overwhelming, unexpected, and uncontrollable. I know it's going to sound incredibly cliché, but being introduced to yoga helped me to start experiencing my body as wise. I read book after book on yoga's history and the meaning of the poses. One book that I came across was Your Body Speaks Your Mind by...
Satiated Episode 173: How to Respond Back to Other's Comments on Your Food and Body When Healing Disordered Eating
May 28, 2023 04:00 - 8 minutes - 6.19 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! It took me about a decade to heal patterns of disordered eating. I've had about every comment made on my body during that time. Whether I was too thin, whether I'd gained weight, what I was eating, how much I was eating, and on and on. A very important part of healing your relationship with food is learning the skills that food was trying to help you with. This can include learning how you feel, speaking up for yourself, and setting boundaries. Food and body copi...
Satiated Episode 172: The Hidden Connection Between Trauma, Nervous System Dysregulation, Low Neurotransmitters, and Emotional Eating
May 20, 2023 18:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! It's been a slow awakening for me over the years to realize that food can only take me so far. Before I embraced my sensitivities, I thought that if I could just practice every "self care" thing, like eating perfectly, getting outside, socializing, moving my body regularly, that I could "fix" the sensitive body I was born with. What I have seen within myself and those I have worked with is that when you stop fighting your body and start listening to it is when ...
Satiated Episode 171: Navigating, Processing, and Shining a Light on Shame When Healing from Disordered Eating
May 14, 2023 03:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! How many people have you told about your challenges with food? Have you let anyone know about your patterns of binge eating, emotional eating, restricting, and struggles with your body image? Toxic shame, the kind of shame that leaves you feeling like you're worthless, breeds in the darkness. The longer food and body coping mechanisms are kept out of the light of other's compassion, the more stuck you can feel. For those that work with me and have yet to tell an...
Satiated Episode 170: Put Your Inner Critic on a Vacation and Take Charge of Your Life
May 06, 2023 23:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! There are many many approaches to navigating a harsh internal critic. With myself and those I work with, I like to teach to see it as a part of you that is saying such cruel things because it's trying to get your attention. Often even negative attention is still attention. Once you've heard this part out, then you can explore what it needs, how it's feeling, and how it wants to be met. And sometimes, this part needs support remembering that it can take breaks and...
Satiated Episode 169: Help! My Clothes No Longer Fit and I'm Freaking Out. What Do I Do?
April 30, 2023 03:00 - 8 minutes - 5.95 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I have so so many memories around clothing store fitting rooms. The most interesting thing to do where I grew up in Connecticut was often to go to the mall with friends. Laughing, crying, and feeling stuck on the floor in despair all occurred within the walls of a fitting room. We learn that clothes have meaning from a young age. The size we can fit into becomes symbolic for how we "fit" into society. When your clothes stopping fitting you, it can feel like so mu...
Satiated Episode 168: Utilizing Somatic Strategies and Regulating Your Nervous System to Overcome Compensatory Food and Body Behaviors
April 23, 2023 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.5 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I've had many nights where I was at the gym at 11:00 pm or early mornings where I was at the gym by 5:00 am. My overexercising started in high school and ramped up through college. After a binge eating experience was unsuccessful at supporting me in feeling regulated, I would head off to the gym and walk and walk and walk. Sweaty and exhausted, I would either get ready for class or just head straight to bed and go to sleep. A compensatory behavior is something ...
Satiated Episode 167: Discovering Food Freedom and Body Connection Through Getting To Know Your Local Farmers, Farmers Markets, and the Roots of Your Food
April 16, 2023 04:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! I have a very special guest with me today on the podcast. A little backstory first, I was chatting with a previous guest on the podcast a few months ago about my brother in law, who is a farmer and consultant to companies with natural climate solutions. He is passionate about teaching others on soil, food and the health of our environment. After mentioning what he does, this guest said, "Wow, I'd love to hear more from him." So I reached out to Jacob and was li...
Satiated Episode 166: Somatic Journaling and Giving Your Body a Voice to Cultivate Safety To Be With What Is
April 09, 2023 03:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! The first time I went to therapy I was a senior in high school. I'm incredibly grateful that my first therapeutic experience was deeply beneficial and I worked with someone that was a great match for me at the time. At the end of our work together, she gave me a journal. Inside she wrote a note that said: For Stephanie: To keep track of all your thoughts, dreams, wishes, fears, loves and disappointments. They are all precious and uniquely yours! With best wishe...
Satiated Episode 165: Feeling Safe and Empowered With Food When You Have Medical Food Restrictions and Food Sensitivities
April 02, 2023 03:00 - 13 minutes - 9.68 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! In my early 20's, I went on a journey to heal my gut. After years of being in pain, I got a colonoscopy and endoscopy completed to check to make sure I didn't have a digestive disorder. The only thing the doctor prescribed me with at the time was IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome and told me to watch my triggers and that was it. I felt frustrated and confused. And so I dove into everything I could learn about the gut. Now, I know many of you have heard me talk ab...
Satiated Episode 164: How Metaphor, Allegory, and Symbolism Can Guide You Toward Healing Food and Body Issues
March 26, 2023 05:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MBHappy Satiated Saturday! When I was diving deeper into healing my relationship with food, my therapist at the time suggested I read Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston. I was living by myself for the first time, trying to practice slowing down, and enjoying spending time with myself. I would do this through snuggling up on my couch and picking up this book. Not only is it an amazing read, but this book holds a special place in my heart for this time I spent with it and ...
Satiated Episode 163: Breaking Up With Diet Culture, The Illusion of Body Control, and What's Really On The Other Side of Healing
