Note: This episode was actually recorded for my other podcast, Problematic. But I originally recorded the conversation when, for a short time, my podcasts were merged. So don’t let the outtro confuse you! Today I’m sharing my conversation with Seerut Chawla. We talk about her brief foray into cancelling someone on the internet, her change of heart, and both of our experiences waking up to the insanity and cult dynamics of cancel culture… It’s a good one!

Big update! The chaos is ending. Listen to this episode’s intro for the explanation. This podcast is about to become an archive of old episodes, dedicated to The F*ck It Diet. But before it ends, I need one more chaotic moment: having to repost this episode that I already posted last month. Why? After all of that, trying to merge my old podcast into substack, I decided instead, to “split” my podcasts again, and leave The F*ck It (Diet) Podcast as it’s own, standalone archive, that’s specific to the food healing journey. This way, it will better be able to support new people who are reading the ..read more

How do I define “dieting”??? “Dieting” is any attempt to micromanage your eating or your body. Even if YOU think you’re eating enough food, often your body does not. Even if YOU think you should be eating less (or no) carbs, your body probably disagrees. Even if YOU are eating plenty, but feeling guilty and stressed over every bite, your body notices, and responds. Most people don’t understand that 1200 is barely enough for a toddler. That 1600 calories was enough to emaciate men and make them feel insane around food in a study from the 1940s. And, that after years of dieting, the body require ..read more

Soooo much of The F*ck It Diet journey is about healing our relationship with food, so we can have a “good” relationship with food. But…. what is a good relationship with food!?!?! A good relationship with food means you can relax around food, eat without stress or fear, and actually enjoy your food.  It means you are out of the diet / binge cycle, and can eat freely, trust your cravings, trust your appetite, and eat carbs, fat, and protein without overthinking any of it. You don’t count calories or macros, and you don’t worry about eating “too much food,” you just eat. When you do eat “t ..read more

Today’s episode is a conversation with Lindsey Lockett, trauma educator and coach, and she tells her story of how she left Fundamentalist Christianity, the fallout in her body and mind of living so long in such a binary belief system, and how she found trauma healing and nervous system work. It’s an amazing story, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! Find Lindsey on instagram here Find Lindsey’s website here And find my substack here ..read more

Today I am sharing my conversation with Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDRDS-S, where she talks about diet culture and purity culture in the church (and how is mirrors our culture at large!). We also chat about Gwen Shamblin, the infamous “Christian” cult leader, and the way the bible was (mis)interpreted. Though, today’s episode is from the perspective how to change the mindset in the church from a focus on purity, to one of love, acceptance, and “grace” (a word Leslie breaks down in the conversation!). This episode is for all people, regardless of your religion, because the parallels run ..read more

Is the anti-diet world culty too? Yes. It can be. (Anything can be!) Therapist and Coach Catie Lynch and I unpack extremism in the anti-diet world, black and white thinking, “cancel” culture and mob mentality online, as well as what true healing from an eating disorder looks like beyond outrage. “Can we focus on actually creating the life that diet culture took from us, instead of spending the rest of our life angry at diet culture?” I also talk about microdosing, medical marijuana, restless leg syndrome, human design (we are both “projectors”), and MORE. Find Catie’s general account here ..read more

Hello! Today’s episode is short and sweet… I’m starting off with a 10 minute audio-chapter from the audiobook of Tired as F*ck. And, that audio clip just so happens to be about anxiety, and what it’s like to be a person with a normal amygdala (aka, not a psychopath). Then, I go over the three different “categories” of anxiety you will deal with when healing your relationship with food and weight! This episode is brought to you by Tired as F*ck, coming out on February 8th! Read the beginning! Get your pre-order bonuses!

January 5th was the 10 year anniversary of The F*ck It Diet!!! (and my 34th birthday!) It’s not the ten year anniversary of the book… but of my actual journey on The F*ck It Diet. So, in celebration, I got on instagram live and read two excerpts from my new book Tired as F*ck, where I talk about what my TFID “epiphany,” and what the beginning of my actual journey looked like. THEN the next day, my computer broke, so I’m currently posting this from my new $126 backup chrome book while my macbook pro gets fixed. But in this episode, I’m sharing the clip from instagram live where I read those two ..read more
