In this session Jillian works with a mental health professional who feels like she's saying all the right things, giving great advice and guidance to those she works with - while struggling herself. The ongoing trauma of listening to others berate their bodies regularly is destabilizing her and she can't find the support she needs, despite a warm and friendly work environment, because her colleagues are still stuck in diet culture. 

In this episode, they discuss:

  • How to protect yourself when you're working with others who struggle with food and body
  • Why it's so hard to find support
  • The frustration of knowing how to coach others through these issues, and seeing them succeed, while you stays stuck
  • When work baggage shows up as reactive eating in your own life
  • How hard it is to stay true to your path when your path still isn’t clear - and it's being affected by the things you hear at work everyday
  • When the real work isn't about food or body - but about self-acceptance, worth, and enough-ness
  • The grief of 'otherness' - sitting in it and feeling your way through it
  • Why sometimes it’s easier to take a stand for others when we can't quite do it for ourselves
