This is just a quick note to let you know that the replay of the free webinar I recorded last week is now available - all you need to do to watch is click the link.
I know it says that it's for parents, but that's really not true - any woman who has struggled with emotional eating or binge eating will be able to relate to the content of our discussion and hopefully also gain some new insights around not only why diets don't work, but why they are flat out harmful.
At the beginning, Olivia - whom I would hire as postpartum therapist any day, by the way - talks a little bit about her own traumatic experience with dieting (it literally almost killed her... consider this your trigger warning!).
Then, we dive right into the mindfuck that is living in a culture that wants to make money off our fear of being or becoming fat.
The struggle is real!
If you're interested in how Olivia and I approach those subjects, feel free to watch us in action here.
And if our talk raises further questions for you, do let me know, I'm always happy to help.
Talk soon,
Annina
P.S. Do you know another woman/ mom/ caregiver who might be interested in this webinar? Please feel free to share the feminist love and forward them this email. <3
How To Train Your Resilience Muscle
** This is a transcript of a brief video I posted recently: "How To Become More Resilient" **
Today, I want to briefly talk to you about resilience.
How come some people are more negatively affected by bad stuff happening in their lives than others?
Well, we know that two things impact how resilient we are.
One of them is luck. (Okay, can't do anything about that!)
But the other one is actually how in control of our lives we feel.
If we are under the impression that we are an agent in what we do, and we can actually positively influence what's happening to us, we're more resilient than when we don't feel any kind of agency in our lives.
The good news is that resilience can be learned!
It has so much to do with how we frame and conceptualize events that happen to us.
Next time something not so great is going on in your life, ask yourself how you see this event.
Is this something traumatic and horrible that's happening to you?
Or is this an opportunity to learn and grow?
Easier said than done, but worth a try, isn't it?
