Ep. 008: Bari Tessler on How to Release Shame Around Money
01/04/17 • 56 min
Today I’m speaking with Bari Tessler. Bari Tessler Linden, MA, is a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach and Mama-preneur. Bari’s gentle, body-centered approach weaves together personal, couple, and creative entrepreneurial money teachings into one complete tapestry. She is the founder of The Art of Money: a global, year-long money school, which integrates Money Healing, Money Practices and Money Maps. Her work has been featured on Oprah.com, Inc.com, and the Huffington Post and in US News & World Report, Reuters Money, The Fiscal Times, Experience Life Magazine, Yogi Times, Best Self Magazine and Emerging Women. Bari is also the author of The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness, published by Parallax Press. Learn more about Bari at: http://baritessler.com/
After reading Bari’s book, I knew I just had to interview her. I know, maybe a little strange to have a financial therapist on a show about food and nutrition, but Bari’s money practices actually have a lot in common with my nutrition practices. She also stresses the importance about connecting to your body when making a decision about money.
Most prominently, this episode is about releasing shame around money. And again, I can’t stress enough, like we all have money shame, we all carry food and body shame as well. Shame is shame is shame. No matter what you’re struggling with right now, Bari offers some really great tips on how to release feelings of shame, and start taking productive action to heal your relationship with money, and ultimately, yourself.
Her book really helped me see that I am not bad with money. Just like you can’t be bad with food, your issues surrounding money are not your fault. And the solution doesn’t involve sticking with an unrealistic and strict budget. Much of the solution involves shifting your mindset, and making gentle shifts in your money practices, and your future planning (sound familiar)?
After you listen to the episode, if you’re craving more information, I highly recommend reading Bari’s book, The Art of Money. I’ve read it twice! Also, Bari will be launching her fifth round of her year-long course, also The Art of Money. Registration opens on January 17th and I WILL be enrolling! I am not an affiliate for the book or program, so I am recommending this because it’s something I truly believe can be helpful if this is an area you struggle with!

Ep. 007: McKenzie Zajonc on How to Tap Into Your Inner Nutritionist
Today I’m speaking with McKenzie Zanjonc. McKenzie has a Masters in Nutrition and a Counseling Degree in Health Psychology and helps trade in their food and body struggle for a more meaningful life through her practice, Inner Nutritionist. You can find more about McKenzie at www.innernutritionist.com.
In this episode McKenzie talks about how to tap into our “Inner Dieter” and our “Inner Nutritionist” to begin to heal our relationship with food. Here’s a quick summary of the distinction between the two, but definitely give the episode a listen for the full scoop.
The Inner Dieter is full for “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts”, is constantly judging food as good or bad, and is always in “fight or flight” mode. The Inner Dieter is full of unrealistic goals (which can especially creep up around New Years!). The Inner Dieter is sneaky. It can also show up as a Diet Rebel. The voice that is telling you to “have a cheat day” or “go off the wagon.” In those moments you might feel like you are not listening to your Inner Dieter, but in fact, you are.
The best way to distinguish your Inner Nutritionist from your Inner Dieter is that in Inner Nutritionist is in the NOW. It is not rolling up past dieting experiences or planning the future. It requires a pause, a checking in. It requires curiosity: What’s my hunger? What’s my fullness? Do I want hot food? Cold food? Something resh? The Inner Nutritionist is your ally and it’s main concern is that you are able to nourish yourself in the present moment.
McKenzie believes the first step to tapping into your Inner Nutritionist is simply being aware of this. Give the full episode a listen to hear more about how to be more satisfied around food by releasing control and listening to your Inner Nutritionist.

Ep. 009: Rebecca Scritchfield on Body Kindness
It took Rebecca several years in the field to establish her body kindness approach. She started her career in nutrition using methods such as meal planning, calorie counting, fitness tracking, and good ol’ fashioned motivation to help her clients achieve their weight loss goals. After a few years in the business, her weight-centered approach became less motivational and more problematic as she began to notice that her clients believed they were in complete control of the number on the scale. She quickly realized that weight loss was not the answer to her clients problems, but instead the cause. This motivated Rebecca to develop her Body Kindness approach for herself, and for her clients.
In this interview, Rebecca points out that diet books sell because they subtly let you know that you’re not good enough as you are right now, but if you do what they say, you will be better. Wanting to take a different approach, Rebecca wrote her book, Body Kindness. Body Kindness is not a set of rules that must be followed, it is an approach where you can tailor a way of eating that is going to fit you best.
