#46 - Mindfulness & Kind Attention as the Antithesis to Diet Culture with Elizabeth Watkins Price

08/10/22 • 40 min

This week we’re talking to Elizabeth Watkins Price, an intentional life design and mindfulness coach.
Elizabeth started EWP Consulting in 2021, after working many kinds of jobs over the last
two decades, including years spent as a classroom teacher, a civil rights lawyer, and a judicial
educator. One pillar of her consulting business is transition coaching, where she helps clients
navigate significant life changes ranging from divorce to career transitions, and also coaching
people who are approaching retirement. Elizabeth is also both personally and professionally
committed to her work as a mindfulness meditation teacher. She designs courses that weave
together the subjects of body awareness, body compassion, and body liberation into the
development of a mindfulness meditation practice.
We had an amazing conversation with Elizabeth about the power of mindfulness and kind attention as the antithesis to diet culture, the issues with how Western mindfulness overlaps with the wellness industrial complex, and how she's integrating the concepts of body liberation and body compassion into her mindful meditation practice spaces.

#45 - Navigating Our Relationship to Food After Diets

A while back, we talked about finding life after diets, and how we can navigate some of the non-food parts of ditching dieting. This week, we're answering some common questions about how to navigate our relationship to food once we've decided to stop dieting. We're talking about: how to figure out what we should be eating after spending so much time focusing on what not to eat; what happens when we eat too quickly or past the point of fullness; how to address fears of weight gain when we stop restricting; what to do if it feels like we're thinking about food all the time; and how we can see nutrition guidelines through an Intuitive Eating lens.
