    Episode 362: Develop a healthier relationship with yourself & food
    Jul 26 2024
    What if you could transform your relationship with food and your body without the endless yo-yo dieting? 🌟 In this episode of the Whinypaluza Podcast, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Laura Conley, founder of the Yummy Mommy Method. Laura shares her journey from struggling with post-partum weight loss to becoming a successful life and weight coach. She introduces us to her holistic approach beyond diet and exercise, focusing on self-love, mindfulness, and the science of hunger hormones. Laura's methods aim to make weight loss a fun and permanent lifestyle change. Key Takeaways: ✅ Weight Loss as a Lifelong Practice: Embrace weight loss as a daily practice, like brushing your teeth, rather than a temporary fix. “In order for weight loss to be permanent, it has to be fun. So it's actually part of the methodology.” ✅ Fun and Enjoyable Process: Make weight loss fun to ensure it’s sustainable. Celebrate your successes daily. “We are celebrating the crap out of ourselves. I ask my clients to celebrate every day in their journals.” ✅ Customized Plans: Each person needs a plan tailored to their bio-individuality and lifestyle, focusing on balancing hunger hormones. “Every one of my clients has a different plan that fits their bio-individuality and also fits their lifestyle.” ✅ Mindset Work: Rewire your brain for success through neuroplasticity, making healthy habits second nature. “We retrain your brain so that your brain operates as if you were a naturally thin person.” ✅ Emotional Eating Awareness: Recognize and address emotional eating. Learn to feel your feelings instead of eating them. “Any time you're eating and you're not hungry, it's probably an emotional eat.” ✅ Self-Love Practices: Practice self-love by choosing positive thoughts and being kind to yourself, especially when you make mistakes. “Self-love is just the way that you talk to yourself. That's it.” ✅ Modeling for Kids: Teach your kids healthy relationships with food by modeling good behavior and having open, supportive conversations. “I want to teach them to love themselves and how you treat yourself when you make a mistake?” How to Reach Laura Conley: Website: https://www.lauraconley.com/ Free Weight Loss Plan: Access the free “Create Your Perfect Weight Loss Plan” at plan.lauraconley.com Tune in to this inspiring episode and discover how to start your journey to a healthier, happier you! 🌸 ✅Follow Rebecca Greene 💻Blog https://www.whinypaluza.com/ 🎧Podcast https://www.whinypaluza.com/podcast 📙Book 1 https://bit.ly/WhinypaluzaBook 📘Book 2 https://bit.ly/whinybook2 📸Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becgreene5/ @becgreene5 📱TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@whinypaluzamom?lang=en @whinypaluzamom 📺YouTube https://www.youtube.com/WhinyPaluza Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 358: Master the Mom Mental Load
    Jul 12 2024
    Feeling overwhelmed with the never-ending tasks of motherhood? Wondering how to gain control and end your days with peace? Tune in to today's episode with productivity coach Valerie Recore, who helps moms find balance and reclaim their time. In this episode, Rebecca Greene sits down with Valerie Recore, a productivity coach dedicated to helping moms regain control over their lives, spend more quality time with their families, and end their days feeling at peace. Valerie shares her journey from corporate trainer to productivity coach, inspired by the challenges she faced and observed among moms, especially during the pandemic. She introduces the concept of the mental load, discusses the Fair Play Method, and offers practical tips for managing time and tasks effectively. Key Takeaways: ✅ The mental load is the constant, never-ending list of tasks running through a mom's mind, which can be overwhelming and exhausting. ✅ Making the invisible mental load visible by sharing and discussing it with family members can help in distributing tasks more equitably. ✅ The Fair Play Method facilitates open conversations with partners about household responsibilities, helping to create a more balanced and supportive environment. ✅ Tracking time and evaluating daily activities can reveal inefficiencies and areas for improvement, leading to a more organized and less stressful life. ✅ Saying 'no' to certain commitments is essential; every 'yes' to something means saying 'no' to something else, such as personal or family time. ✅ Aligning activities and tasks with family values and goals can help prioritize what truly matters, making daily life more fulfilling and manageable. Quotes from Valerie Recore: "We talk about being busy like it's a badge of honor, but what are we really busy doing?" "The mental load is that ticker tape of tasks that is constantly running through your head all the time, and it doesn't end." "It's getting that invisible load and making it visible. Your family doesn't see this list constantly running through your head." "When you get your family involved and have regular meetings, everything starts to feel a little easier and better."

  • Episode 356: Navigating the Labyrinth of Grief Emotions

    Episode 356: Navigating the Labyrinth of Grief Emotions
    Jul 5 2024
    How can one effectively navigate and heal from grief and trauma? In this episode of Whinypaluza, Rebecca Greene speaks with Edy Nathan, a seasoned therapist and hypnotherapist specializing in grief, trauma, and sexual health. Edy Nathan shares her professional journey, personal experiences, and unique methodologies that integrate creativity, mindfulness, and an understanding of the mind-body connection. She offers profound insights into the non-linear nature of grief, the importance of integrating loss into one's identity, and the value of storytelling and honoring memories for healing. Key Takeaways: Non-Linear Nature of Grief: Grief is not a linear process; it can manifest unexpectedly and impact both the mind and body. Understanding and accepting the non-linear nature of grief is crucial for healing. Integration of Loss: Integrating loss into personal and sexual identity is essential for growth and healing. Instead of trying to "get over" grief, individuals should find ways to honor the memories of their loved ones and incorporate the experience of loss into their identity. Role of Creativity and Mindfulness: Engaging in creative activities and mindfulness practices can help individuals process and express their emotions, bridging the gap between the mind and body. Storytelling and Honoring Memories: Storytelling and honoring memories are powerful tools for connecting with lost loved ones and fostering healing. By sharing stories, individuals can keep the spirit of their loved ones alive and find comfort in their memories. Complexities of Caregiving: Caregiving in grief involves complex emotions and shadow aspects. Acknowledging and addressing these emotions is important for both caregivers and those they support. Supporting Children Through Grief: Parents can support children through grief by being honest, understanding regression, and engaging in creative activities. Closed support groups are also beneficial for helping children and families navigate grief together. Quotes from Edy Nathan: "The path like grief is nonlinear. It comes at you from many different directions." "I realized I had to stop avoiding it. I had to partner with it." "Perhaps the goal is not to get over. Maybe the goal is not to get through. Perhaps the goal is to connect with the part of that mother or that father or that partner or that child who continues to live within me." "Children will grieve like adults in their own way, and it will look different. It can look like anger, rage, regression, or numbness." Visit https://edynathan.com/ for more information.
