In this solo episode, I&apos;m talking about the idea of &apos;letting yourself go&apos; and how that differs from the &apos;letting go of control&apos; that needs to happen in order to make peace with food or integrate trauma.

Why "Letting Go of Control" is not "Letting Yourself Go".

Is it possible to take on a healing diet or a supportive protocol with a history of disordered eating?Is there a way to have a healthy, alive relationship with food that&apos;s also intentional? Is restriction 100% bad news in all cases?Today I&apos;m sharing my personal experiences with chronic illness, having a background of disordered eating from a young age. I&apos;m excited to share this with you and hope it brings you more peace and freedom in your relationship with food and your body!Links:Rande&apos;s WebsiteFree Spirit Academy InstagramFree Spirit Academy Courses

ADHD, Naturally with Sophie Tully

In this episode, I&apos;m sharing my OTHER 2021 diagnosis: ADHD. You&apos;ll hear me say right at the top that this has been such a good thing and a game-changer on my self-love path. All of the cliches and assumptions were what kept me from suspecting sooner and I hope to dispel some myths and offer a fresh perspective.I am currently unmedicated although I don&apos;t think that&apos;s the right choice for everyone. In part two (coming in a couple of weeks!) I&apos;ll be having a conversation with Sophie Tully of ADHD, Naturally, who will offer even more insights.Links:Rande Moss WellnessFree Spirit Academy InstagramFree Spirit Academy Courses

61 | Solo Episode | My ADHD Diagnosis (and why it's been a GREAT thing)

Today&apos;s episode is a sample of the Free Spirit Academy program, Body Love.I talk about why addressing a painful body image is integral to healing a disordered relationship with food, or taking on a healing protocol. Our bodies are home as well as incredible messengers - and by making peace with the body we have, we&apos;re much more easily able to hear it&apos;s messages.

60 | Solo Episode | Making Peace with the Body You Call Home

On today&apos;s episode I&apos;m talking a bit about the autoimmune diagnoses I got earlier this year. This is a shorty ep but includes:...why it took me so long to see medical professionals and get tested....the wide range of feelings post-diagnosis....the pre-self-love I had to do before I had any answers....the promises I made myself once I had something concrete to work with....my thoughts on medication, etc....the complex journey that is illness and a disordered eating history.

59 | Solo Episode | Loving Oneself through Chronic Illness

Hello friends, today I&apos;m talking to my friend Lena, an eating disorder recovery coach who also understands firsthand months of juice fasting, pure raw food diets, and even using diet to heal illness - complicated by her many years of disordered eating that didn&apos;t stop once she got into raw foods. Over the course of this conversation we make some simple connections about how and why her eating disorder developed but there could certainly be many more factors one could look at. - We&apos;ll discuss being raised in a religion that tells you if you&apos;re sick - there&apos;s something wrong with you or you&apos;re not praying hard enough.- The time Lena quit law school to move across the world and focus on detox work.  - the moment when she started realizing she was more interested in perfection than actual health - and  more.Links:Lena&apos;s website.

58 | Lena Wegener | Rebellion is not Freedom

After well over a year, the Free Spirit Academy Podcast is BACK!I begin this episode with a health update of my own - and talk about the balance between maintaining a peaceful relationship with food and my body, while also supporting my body&apos;s very specific needs.That will lead us into a conversation with colon hydrotherapist and trauma-informed coach, Teresa Piela. Teresa is exceedingly familiar with chronic illness herself, and also knows well what it&apos;s like to do everything &apos;right&apos; on a healing protocol and not feel any better. We talk about the importance of not only nourishing food but addressing nervous system trauma, painful beliefs, and tendencies towards perfectionism and orthorexia. I&apos;m so thrilled to be back with you in this capacity - there is so much more to come!LINKS:Living Roots WellnessLiving Roots Wellness InstagramTeresa on TwitterTeresa on YouTubeFree Spirit AcademyFree Spirit Academy InstagramFree Spirit Academy Courses

Here&apos;s what you can expect from today&apos;s episode:...how the anxiety of our current circumstances is TRIGGERING any anxiety already living within us....the question of whether or not we&apos;ll ever be going back to &apos;normal&apos;. ...we&apos;ll talk about the pressure to always be growing, creating, being productive, and going to our max. ...the idea that the universe is saying one thing to all humans right now. ...working with the feeling that there&apos;s constantly not enough time. ...finding safety in uncertainty....the feeling that we wish someone would just fix this, the government etc.  and the need for self-responsibility and self-parenting. ...astrology as a tool to make sense of what we&apos;re feeling....the idea that if something feels good to us, it will be easy to do and why it&apos;s not always. I hope you&apos;re staying safe and well and that you enjoy this episode with Marlena Torres.Marlena&apos;s WebsiteMarlena&apos;s InstagramFree Spirit AcademyFree Spirit Academy Courses
