On Monday morning, I had the pleasure of chatting it up with Katie Dalebout, author of The Wellness Wonderland, for an hour-long chat about spirituality, food, body image, and blogging. Katie recently started her own Wellness Wonderland radio show and I’m honored to have been the second guest! She is such an amazing woman with so much creative inspiration to offer.
You can listen to the interview in the video below or download the MP3 version here, put it on your iPod and listen to it in the car. I can’t get enough of podcasts lately, so I recommend doing this. It always makes the car ride go by so quickly!
I know you’ll enjoy our interview. We talk about my morning and evening routines, go-to meals, and tips for living a j’adore la vie lifestyle. If you’re not already a frequent visitor to The Wellness Wonderland, you definitely will become one after listening to this interview. Katie will steal your heart much like she stole mine a few months ago.
Thank you for sharing your stories and feeling comfortable enough to trust me and this community to reveal your truth and to give support to myself and others.
I believe that binge eating is a serious problem in this country and because of the shame associated with it, we simply don’t want to speak up. But we have to. We have to be vulnerable in order to really make the choices that are aligned with your Highest Self. And that’s what really gets you on the road to true happiness.
This conversation will not stop here! I have some big plans coming up around this topic. I want to give you to the tools that I used to overcome binge eating for good. They will help you get to know yourself better, love yourself more, and embrace who you are fully and completely. Once you do that, you’re off to the races and you truly know that you have no limits – only those that you choose to create.
It really comes down to the fact that you are what you think you are. If you think that you are worthless, you will create experiences that are worthless to you and do not fulfill you. If you think that you are a great person who deserves great things, then (with hard work), you will attract great things into your life. But before we get there, we have to be willing to accept exactly where we are – night binges and all.
1.) “I accept the place that I am in right now. It is a Divine opportunity to create a better version of myself.” 2.) “I forgive myself for the self-hatred that I have projected onto myself. I love myself.”
Get started by working these two affirmations every day. Even if you don’t believe in what you’re telling yourself, fake it ’til you make it. Repetition of a new pattern creates a new behavior. And the current pattern you might be repeating is not working so well for you. So, create a new one. You can do it. I believe in you.
There will be lots more coming on binge eating. I have big plans to help those of you suffering! I highly encourage you to watch this video below of Jonathan Fields interviewing the incredible Patricia Moreno, creator of Intensati. She is the queen of vulnerability and raw, honest truth. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve seen in awhile.
Okay, now go have some fun today! Have a dance party on me. Life is good.
Thank you so much for all of your beautiful comments on yesterday’s post. Honestly, I was nervous about hitting publish on that one. I’d been wanting to share that story with you since it happened, but I was hesitant. I never want to make spiritual experiences “special” and I never want you to think I’m bragging about anything that I experience. Every story share with you is just that – a story to share. Thank you for welcoming it into your heart, miracle workers. I am so freakin’ grateful for you!
Throughout #plantPOWER, I was celebrating your #jadorelavie moments alongside you. Your moments are so beautiful and I am beyond stoked to share them with everyone today. It’s a love party, baby!
