Love Your Whole Body Podcast

What do the rich and poor have in common? All of us are asking the question, do I matter? Self care answers this question with a resounding YES! Jaci Anderson dives into this. She shares about how running a half marathon for clean water in Africa connected her to herself and those she ran for. We're left with the invitation to allow self love to move us out of our comfort zone to love others more. 

Jaci Anderson is a bi-racial woman leading in the intersection of faith and justice.  She is a daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and pastor who enjoys seeing people liberated from oppressive patterns of living and thinking and into wholehearted relationships with God, self, others, and creation. She also runs 1/2 marathons with Team World Vision's to raise funds for clean water projects.

Nurture is how we encourage ourselves and our bodies toward health. Nurture is learned. Our early experiences of it shape how we relate as adults. When we feel nurtured we can do courageous, beautiful things. Without it, we lack confidence and connection. Special guest Catherine Morrill. M. Div., LMFT, describes what nurture is, why it's important, and how to have more of it!

Our bodies store physical and emotional trauma. Trauma can be something as little as repetitive bad posture or as big as a car accident or verbal abuse. Whatever the trauma is, it restricts our movement and our joy.  Bryan Hoppe, a physical therapist of 33 years and practitioner of John Barnes’ Myofascial Release Technique shares about helping patients release their trauma through movement to gain their power and joy back.

Our body is communicating to us all the time. It tells us what we need: rest, nourishing food, exercise, nurture... Hearing what our body is communicating and responding compassionately takes practice. Over time, this practice can change our lives. This is part two of last week's conversation with Ana. It's another deep, honest discussion about this meaningful topic.

If you're tired of dieting, being obsessed about what you're eating, holding your body to an expectation that it probably will never meet, and feeling guilty that you're not exercising enough... then it's time to take a look at intuitive eating.

Our brain is full of super highways called neural pathways. When an incident happens we fly down them automatically. What if there was a way to pause before going in a direction that you don't really want to go?

Kris Kile is a master trainer, coach, author, curriculum writer and content designer and has been in the transformation world for 22 years.  He'll be sharing with us about how mindfulness creates bypasses in our brains and increases the space between stimulus and response to increase our capacity for love and peace. This episode is loaded with good content and practical application.

Who hasn't wondered this at some point? How much time and money do I put into myself? What if that detracts from others?  This episode providers a framework to give you a middle way between being under committed to yourself or over committed yourself.

You'll also be challenged to practice new beliefs and actions to help you create new results.  See questions below from the episode.

Identify an area where you’re not getting the results you want in life.

What unresourceful belief is keeping you stuck?

What more resourceful counter belief do you want to practice trying on?

What will you do differently as a result of that new belief?

Check out @jessicalacycoaching on Instagram and under the post "Is Self Care Selfish" post what new belief you'll be trying on! If you love this show, share your love by writing a review, please :)

Life coach Jane Perry invites us into the question, "what do you want to do next?" then responds to your answer by saying, "yeah, do that!"
