Today we welcome the first astrologer to grace the airwaves at Listen To Your Body, Colin Bedell. A gay Gemini Twin, author, and creator of Queer Cosmos, Colin is here to shed new light on the power of astrology and provide you with ways that you can use astrology to better understand yourself and your relationships. Tools To Help You Live In Faith & Walk With Resilience Colin is on a mission to dismiss the qualms you may have heard about astrology, and bring a fresh perspective to the typical heteronormative landscape. Passionate about providing you tools to help you live in faith and walk with resilience and comfort into the unknown, Colin is here to disrupt everything you thought you knew about getting to know yourself. If you want to live a life informed by the clarification of values, and the safety that is given when you know that you are the person you claim to be, astrology can help you identify your values and live the life you have always imagined for yourself. Colin believes that astrology is a choice revealer, not a choice maker, and wants to help you harness the power of being aware of your choices to make the best decisions you can. Colin not only talks the talk but he also walks the walk and is here to help you discover the truth in a way that is spoken for you. By being vulnerable you can choose your own power, and given this crazy period that we are all living in, who doesn't want a bit more of that?

(12:58)"I was taken out very early in the pandemic before the pandemic even hit, I was completely taken out and I was in the bed for about 2 weeks. And so that's the psychic-ness, the tuning into the conscious, being in tune with what is about to happen where I was already giving contributions." (23:16) "Right now as a collective, the consciousness is saying slow down. And I have been tuned into that." (26:48) "If you can consistently bring yourself back to what is only happening right now, it has a way of calming and centering yourself.

We are in a rapidly changing world right now, and I have noticed a lot of self-judgment being perpetuated as we all rush to adapt to this 'new normal'. During times of stress and change, it is common to look to our bodies and our nutrition as something that we can control, and we shame ourselves when we may not get it right. It Is Time To Honor Your Feelings & Emotions During This Crazy Time This episode is all about cultivating some self-compassion and human connection during these uncertain times. Instead of shaming yourself into being productive, I want you to ask yourself what is it that will nourish you most right now? Whether the answer is sitting on the couch and watching Netflix or taking advantage of your ability to move your body, it is all okay, and nothing to feel bad about. Self-compassion is one of the three main pillars of body acceptance and intuitive eating, and it is only by being non-judgemental, treating yourself and others with loving care and implementing some mindfulness that you can find the peace you are craving. It is time to honor your feelings and emotions during this crazy time and recognize that you are not alone. We are all in this together, learning as we go and adapting to an ever-changing situation. Are you ready to focus on what your body needs most right now? Share how you are handling this pandemic with us in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode Why you shouldn't shame yourself into finding a sense of normalcy (7:40) How to adjust the way you use movement during this period of quarantine (12:47) Tips for figuring out what is going to nourish your body and avoiding shame (16:33) The three main parts of self-compassion and how to work towards mastery (18:31) What you can do to foster a shared sense of human connection and empathy (23:20) Quotes "I think there is a really important difference between cultivating some sense of normalcy in these times, versus getting really judge-y with ourselves for not being able to stick to what's normal." (7:31) "If your situation has changed, even a little bit… it still takes some adjustment, it takes time and space oftentimes, to adjust. And that's okay." (11:09) "Know that in these times, when things are uncertain and you feel a lack of control in other areas, its oftentimes a common response." (14:16) "We just have to ride the wave, it will pass. But you are in a transitional state right now, and this is where self-compassion comes in." (15:42) "I can't even begin to tell you how much empathy towards others and self-compassion right now are the two pieces that we really need. We can't only take care of ourselves here, we can't only be self-centered because then we lose the greater sense of our shared humanity."

Often we are so disconnected from our bodies that we wait for someone else to tell us what we should be doing rather than discerning what is right for us on our own. Maida Ference has her own unique relationship with food, body image and nutrition and is here today to address the cause and effect of what you are eating and how it impacts how you show up in the world.

Whether you are in a larger body or a smaller body, Maida is here to dismiss expectations and highlight the importance of forgiveness in the relationship between you and your body.

(10:18) "I started to recognize the cause and effect of what I was eating and how it impacted how I walked through the world, how I was able to show up."

There is a huge difference between blaming diet culture and blaming the dieter who participates in that culture. Naomi Katz is a body image and self-trust coach who is here today to break down some of the nuance and questions you may have surrounding diet culture and help you stop victim-blaming. Ways To Address Diet Culture Scrutinizing individuals who partake in diet culture instead of recognizing the systematic and cultural factors at play in this issue is an easy mistake to make, but it can have severe repercussions for those around you. Today Naomi is here to promote body diversity, give you tips for getting out of the diet culture yourself, and provide you with ways to address diet culture with those you love who are still engrained in the culture with empathy. It is so important to support individuals at various points of their health journey even if it means they are still participating in diet culture. By seeking out information about what diet culture really is, you can create an opportunity of connection so that you and those you love can start making body autonomous decisions. Instead of playing into body hierarchy it is time to step up for autonomy over everything and move forward with the intentions you inherently want for yourself and those you love. If you want to remain critical and conversational around diet culture while also holding dieters and people who chose that lifestyle in respect and empathy, you can't miss this episode. What role has diet culture and body autonomy played in your view of self-worth and relationships with others? Share your experience with us in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode How you can hold the individual in a place of respect in regards to diet culture (12:40) Tips for supporting individuals at various points of their diet culture journey (17:50) Ways to move from diet culture into a space of making body autonomy choices (19:38) Helpful methods to help those you love who are embedded in diet culture (23:03) Practices to help keep the lines of communication open around anti-diet culture (30:10) Quotes "When we're talking about anti-diet spaces, we're not really talking about anti-dieter spaces so much as we are talking about anti-diet culture spaces." (13:14) "Blaming dieters, acting in an anti-dieter way, is very much like a victim-blaming the situation, and obviously none of us want to be participating in that. Sometimes it's helpful to look at anti-diet culture as being pro a lot of other things." (17:45) "I think one the best ways to begin opting out of diet culture is to become hyper-aware of where it is popping up in your life and to curate your feed, curate your life kind of situation." (20:53) "I think its important to look back at where we were, where we came from, and how long it may have taken us to find our way out. Because opting out of diet culture is not a simple thing, it takes work and it is a process." (24:40) "We are not blaming dieters here, we are blaming the culture for all of this stuff. And it is important for us to draw boundaries and draw differences between what is individual and autonomous behavior, and behavior that actually out worldly upholds the culture and may harm other people."

And what started to become clear to me was the podcast as its own entity and its own energy and myself as I was continuing to grow and shift and diverge into this slightly different direction, our energies weren't matching up anymore." (8:36) "Even though I know very instinctively and intuitively that it is the next thing for me to do, there is still always this battle." (10:36) "Were working toward a more peaceful way of being in our bodies, whether that is incorporating intuition more, it's moving toward intuitive eating, moving our bodies more intuitively, moving our bodies for the joy of moving our bodies, incorporating things like spiritual curiosity, what does that mean and how does it factor into our mind body and our mind-body connection, meditation, all sorts of things." (14:51) "You're still going to hear things that are related to food and movement and mindset, but the energy, the intention, is different, it's shifting. And I feel so excited about it and I can't wait to share it with you." (20:30) Links Order Core 4 The Book Here Check out the full show notes here!
