Have you considered your food story?
Today's conversation will surely inspire you to do so!
Your food story includes the traditions, heartful memories, the struggles, the beliefs, the characters, the pivotal moments that shaped our eating, and all that has occurred within our (often complex!) relationship to food.
We know our health is much more than what is on our plates and our mindset is a powerful ingredient to consider. I hope you enjoy this opportunity to visit (or re-visit) your food story.
Today's SATIATE episode and book recommendation (with a delicious bonus recipe) may be the perfect navigation for you to begin your food story journey.
In this episode, I will walk you through the why’s and how’s to igniting your metabolism, especially if you are struggling with many of today’s most common struggles and health issues.
Understanding how to best fuel your body (to feel how you want to feel) is one of the most complex conundrums of our time –– especially if you are trying to sort it out all on your own.
Making peace with your plate has never been more confusing.
After talking with my client, Taylor Patrice, I learned that the most needed items in the German Afghan refugee camps she is working in are underwear, feminine hygiene products and hijabs.
That said, this issue does not lie merely in the fact that people need bloomers. While these items are not only significant to their comprehensive health, they also play a crucial role in the physical and sexual safety of refugees.
Hijabs too? Yes hijabs too. This is where cultural understanding and nuance comes into play.
Jennifer Braun began to serve disadvantaged women and children in Afghanistan, Haiti, and now Uganda –– training midwives world-over since 2004.
She is the executive director of International Midwife Assistance (IMA), originally created by a group of women alarmed by the dismal state of maternal/child health in Afghanistan and eventually Haiti and Uganda.
They began with a mission in which every woman would have access to a qualified attendant and lifesaving resources throughout her pregnancy and birth.
If you are interested in supporting IMA or their sister non-profit in Uganda, The Teso Motherhood Project
This is an important episode with insider insights from Jennifer about the challenging state of Afghanistan and the women who live there.

From Hamster Wheel To Magic Carpet
Something you should know about me: I am a recovering busy body. I have spent the majority of my life rushing, pushing myself, focusing on my productivity and feeling the pull of the ever present hamster wheel.
I could blame it on my many years of competitive sports, single parenting or entrepreneurship, but according to my mother, I came out of the womb like this.
Recently, I caught myself in a relapse...because old patterns tend to die hard.
That said, as I get older, I am learning more and more how to catch these mini-set backs swiftly.
Life has taught me a lot about what it takes for me to show up most fully for myself and for the people in my life. Rather than the hamster wheel approach to life, how about the much more enticing magic carpet ride?
Listen and learn how I find my magic carpet amid it all.

Bring Your Body To The Table {With Dr. Alan Fogel}
While most of us know that our body is full of present moment intelligence –– through our senses, through our intuition and though our physical cues –– most of us tend to live more in our heads.
Our worldly paradigms are not structured in a way to promote our strengthening or listening to our body sense. When we turn this conversation to food, our self-judgment, body shame, food feelings, and fear (or avoidance) of our bodily sensations keeps many of us from self-regulating our eating.
Yet, when we live with our body as our ally, we have all of the information we need.
Dr. Alan Fogel is a wonderful resource for embodied psychology and well-being. I am so excited to share his wisdom with you in today's new episode on the Boulder Nutrition podcast.
