Loving Your Body as it REALLY IS With Body Positive Wellness Coach Soshy Adelstein

12/17/19 • 39 min

“Every single woman has a unique story about her body image and food. And I realized we need to start sharing that in a more public way.” We welcome to the podcast, Soshy Adelstein, a wellness coach for women who want to make peace with food and their bodies. Through real talk and compassionate listening, she teaches women how to let go of old beliefs around dieting, eating, exercise and weight so that we can step into new practices to support our best selves NOW. Soshy’s story is unique and profound because of her upbringing in a Hassidic Jewish community, her separation from that community and her eventual ability to love and accept her own body.

In this episode Soshy and Randi dive into:

-Soshy’s background growing up in a Hassidic community, closed off from the secular world, and her need to break-away from the community she was born into.

-Soshy’s darker days facing binge eating, family trauma and physical pain.

-What is intuitive eating and how has it changed her life.

-Raising children to love their bodies in our modern age.

-The role of media when it comes to body image.

-Western Medicine versus Holistic Wellness.

-Her number one advice to healing your relationship with food.

“Clean up your feed. Go follow people that when you are looking at their feed you feel good. You feel excited. You feel jazzed up about your relationship with food.”
