249: Food, Weight & Diet Talk: How to Find Greater Peace and Joy During the Holidays with Dana Monsees
Description
#249: Turkey Day is upon us once again, which means food, weight, and diet talk is about to become rife. This time of year can be particularly challenging for those of us with emotional outsourcing ways of thinking. That’s why this week, I’m excited for you to hear a conversation from a couple of years ago that I recorded with my dear friend, Dana Monsees.
Dana is a Dietitian-Nutritionist and Body Image Coach specializing in neutral nutrition for chronic health conditions. Hear Dana’s top tips for having difficult conversations around food, weight, and diet, why thought work and boundary-setting are vital during this time of year, and how giving yourself permission to experience joy and pleasure is the path to healing.

Join Nervous System Signals and Safety!
You understand your anxiety. You can name your triggers, trace them back, explain the whole thing. And your body still does what it does - the freeze, the brace, the exhaustion that has nothing to do with how much you slept. Working at the level where the pattern actually lives - your nervous system, your physiology - is what changes it. Signals & Safety is 12 weeks of somatic education and practice built from 20+ years of clinical training. You come out knowing why your body responds the way it does, and with the tools to meet yourself differently in the moments that used to undo you.
