Episode 19: Season 3 Introduction - Solo Episode
Wednesday Mar 17, 2021
Wednesday Mar 17, 2021
Welcome to Season 3 of The Garden of Belonging Podcast!
This season I'm sharing a series of interviews I did back in 2019 entitled Radical Self-Trust. I'm sharing these conversations now because self-trust is critical to our ability to show up fully as ourselves.
Why does this matter? Because I believe we all deserve more than just fitting in. More than the gymnastics we feel we must do to feel accepted. I believe we all deserve to belong. To be fully seen and accepted as the wholeness of who we are. And allowing ourselves to be seen in that way takes courage and trust. A lot of courage and trust.
Today I share a solo episode letting you know what's up in my world and how I see this season fitting into the bigger picture of The Garden of Belonging.
I hope you enjoy it!

Season 2: Episode 15: Christine Malkmus

Wednesday Jan 27, 2021
Today I hope you will enjoy my conversation with Christine Malkmus. Throughout the course of her 34 years of life, Christine has had a very toxic, love/hate relationship with food and body. After years of self-abuse that she infused into many facets of her life, she finally came to the realization that perhaps she’d gone through her eating disorder so that she could one day help other women dealing with the same or similar issues. This ultimately lead her to pursue the path of becoming a Mind+Body Empowerment Coach, certified through the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Through easy, doable mind-body-soul strategies, she offers her guidance, love and light to help you make peace with food and grow in body confidence and liberation, allowing you to fully thrive in all areas of your life.
NOTE: Despite silencing phones and all, we still struggled with some notification pings.
Christine and I talk about:
** How honoring ourselves can shift through our lives
** Setting a good example for our kids
** Her experience with an eating disorder
** Setting boundaries as a way to honor ourselves
** How knowing your values and purpose helps you resist external messages and speak your truth
** Conditioning about health and wellness and how
** YouTube as a resource for meditations
** Transmuting pain into power
