Living Over Losing

This is a solo episode full of Shelbye feelings and ramblings (you’re welcome ;)) I wanted to touch on a topic that I struggle with myself— being okay with not being okay. This could be applied to having bad body image days, temptations to diet, life events that bring us down, whatever the case may be. We all have bad days. How do we accept the bad and try to come out on the other side? This episode is about being real with ourselves, about being imperfect and about how to stay on a positive path. Authenticity is truly the key to happiness, but it isn’t always easy.

Maggie shares with us her amazing story and transformation from a year ago to now, how yoga helped her heal from an ED, her yoga teacher training experience, learning about her body and her mind through yoga, meditation and self work, personal growth from bad experiences, how you can apply lessons from ED recovery to other areas of life, the power of self confidence and more! Maggie is someone I have personally been acquainted with for years, both of us sharing similar struggles and not knowing about the other’s at the time. This brings a unique perspective to the show.

Today I am chatting with Ritta, a holistic health coach that helps women develop a healthy relationship to food, body and exercise. Rita grew up in Denmark and shares with us her experience moving to the U.S. when she was 20 and the challenges she had to face. In this episode we also discuss: how the need for control can lead us to be out of control, hypothalamic amenorrhea, how losing your period really effects your body, how to trust what our bodies need, discovering life outside of exercise and food, how to stay on track when ED thoughts come back up in recovery, how to stop “half assing” recovery, our body’s set point, how to stop comparing to others, masculinity vs. femininity and more! Ritta is very insightful and brings a unique perspective to the table, a must listen!

In this episode I fly solo talking about my own personal experiences with body image, external validation, eating disorders, identifying myself with “fitness”, healing, a list of how I felt then versus now and everything in between. I wanted to do this to give listeners who don’t know me more of a chance to understand why I started this podcast in the first place and why I am so passionate about this work. Other people’s stories can be comforting and healing so I thought I should share mine :). Feel free to reach out with any questions:
