FRIENDS. THIS EPISODE IS THE BOMB. So excited to bring you my interview with Jess Demasi. Jess is a Certified Eating Psychology Coach Specializing in Functional Endocrinology and Mind/Body Nutrition. She empowers women in their quest to wholeness through healing solutions rooted in Integrative Care. You'll often find her lifting heavy things in the gym, trying to pet stranger's dogs, or writing some sass-filled #hormonehacks on Instagram. She is passionate about helping women heal their hormones, break free of restrictive dieting, and feeling at home in their bodies.

In this episode we dig into all.of.the.stuff. Everything from the best exercises for women (which includes yoga, WALKING, resistance training, and HITT) as well as the worst exercises for women (which includes chronic cardio .. holy mind blown right?!) and the biological impacts these specific exercises have on your body.

We also dig into what it means to be connected to YOUR body, letting go of all of the worth we put into being a specific size, and finding movement that works for YOUR body on a day to day basis.

Get ready for a conversation that is unlike the norm when it comes to exercise and diet culture… it’s good, good stuff ;)

The final episode of my Control Series! Here I discuss the aspect of control that I struggle with on a daily basis - actually learning to deal with feelings of being out of control rather than resorting to the comfortable, unproductive methods of my past. Here I share five ways I have learned to calm my tantrum throwing inner control freak and how adopting those methods has helped me reduce my ‘controlling tendencies’ as well come up with a game plan to reduce my anxiety around my to-do lists.

Since we are on this topic of control I thought I would talk about a situation that occurred this past weekend as well as share my promised mountain lion story for Part 2 of my Control Series.

While we may not have control over the actual situations life presents us with, I’ve learned that  we DO have control over how we respond and react to those situations as well as whether or not we let our fears in life win. Because in the end we have the choice to take a different path.

I realized this whole control thing is something I have and continue to really struggle with. There are multiple layers. This episode focuses on what is, in my opinion, the most important part - that we only have control over how we show up to this world.

You Get To Decide What Healthy and Fit Means

This is a topic I am wildly passionate about. The idea of what it actually means to be healthy or fit. It is in my tagline and something I talk about frequently and something the industry talks about frequently. But what do those words mean for YOU. Because in my opinion, they can’t be the same definitions for everyone.

Ego and Self Acceptance

/

This episode is all about my ACTUAL first blog post (I accidentally discussed my second post last episode). But it seems really fitting this week because it helped me revisit this whole self acceptance thing. As I dive into new creative projects, I have been reminding myself that nothing is good the first time around. Things get better with practice. You try it, you take some notes, YOU BE KIND, and you try again. That is how we get better with everything in life. By letting go of crazy expectations and external seeking for acceptance, you enjoy the process so much more.

My first podcast episode! Here I talk about why I decided to start this podcast and where Move With Radiance comes from. I also share my own story with disordered eating, exercise addiction, and personal development as well as noticing the way we talk to ourselves and what to do about it. This is the first step to getting curious, actually feeling our feelings, and showing up as our best selves.
