  • Thoughtful conversation that includes duality

    One of my favorite things about Ela and Christine’s episodes is they have deeper conversations that include multiple angles and different perspectives. No all or nothing, it’s not ‘THIS is the only way’ - food, mindset, movement all with the full human experience considered. Their authenticity is energizing and gives permission to be honest and genuine, shame free

  • We need more trainers like you

    More people need to hear conversations like these and hook-up with non-diet trainers like Christine! In a world of diet culture, this is the podcast you need to help you remove yourself from it as much as possible. Thanks for everything you do Christine!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Weight Watchers to Embracing Your Features.
Q: Can you take us back to the very beginning of your interview and explain what started your pivot away from Weight Watchers?
Christina explains how a 2015 Facebook photo triggered distress, leading her to join Weight Watchers with her mother, her rapid early success, and eventual realization that the program promoted an unhealthy relationship with food and body; this set the foundation for her pivot toward body acceptance, therapy, and ultimately writing Embrace Your Features.
Stefanie Michele. How to get out of your head and into your body.
Q: What red flags should people look for when exploring nervous system work and somatic approaches?
She cautions against perfectionism and the belief that specific routines will fix everything, emphasizing that the goal is not to eliminate emotions but to stay with them and build capacity gradually inside a supportive framework with professional guidance.
Stefanie Michele. How to get out of your head and into your body.
Q: How does Stefanie view the role of nervous system regulation in eating disorder recovery?
She explains that nervous system regulation is not about rigid checklists or perfectionist protocols; instead, it's about understanding the origin of emotions, titrating exposure to triggers, and integrating small, sustainable practices into daily life to keep the body safe and present.
Stefanie Michele. How to get out of your head and into your body.
Q: What led Stefanie to pursue work in binge eating recovery and somatic approaches?
She describes a long road of dieting and restrictive eating starting in adolescence, evolving into bulimia and orthorexia, followed by exhaustion and a transformative moment at 40 that catalyzed recovery. This shift, combined with her coaching background and later certification in intuitive eating and somatic therapies, propelled her to help others through a body-centered approach.
Nana Crawford. Celebrating Your Jiggles.
Q: What sparked Nana's journey into Jigglefit?
Nana described feeling disconnected after having her second child and the realization that chasing a bounce-back was not addressing her deeper need to reconnect with her body, which led her to dance and ultimately Jigglefit.
