I’m laughing while Dawny and I are chatting about intuitive eating via Skype.

Podcast Recap

Why do I always want to isolate and what can I do about it? Alen recommends via text a great movie that’s on Netflix about voice acting and I wonder if we shouldn’t share cool movies and books on the show? Besides supporting the show financially with cups of coffee you can also support it with likes, reviews and ratings so new brave companions can find us. Stéfanie from Quebec supports us with her comments on Day 74. I get encouragement for my singing and acting with comments from Sandy, Cheryl and Stéfanie. Fionna calls the bravery hotline with her opinion. Helen cheers me up with another joke on Foolish Fun. As an experiment, Dawny and I Skype about Intuitive Eating.

Hot weather, drooping trees, dry riverbed with boulders.

An overview of what I see on the path to the podcast rock along the dry riverbed in my local park.

I’m starting to smile as I go on my way to tell today’s stories.

I’m smiling because I don’t realize HOW messy my hair is at this very moment. Instead, I’m just SO happy to be at my first voice acting lesson and to have experienced recording from inside of a real sound booth.

Podcast Recap

Back on the mountain I let go of the stew of anxiety and doubt swirling around trying new things, newly tight pants, photos that make you look as bad as possible AND discover that Photoshop can crop your negative thinking as well as those pesky bad photo angles! Max’s 20/20 show is delayed due to the passing of Joan Rivers. I’m LaurieDreamWeaver on Instagram and I like to see your photos. A shout-out to Sophie from Scotland. I decide to make certificates for catching up with all of the show episodes and mention how to sign up for the show email list so you can be one of the first to see them. Welcome to new brave companion Annie! Last show, Stéfanie’s Secret Topic of the Day triggered a comment conversation between Cheryl, Marquita and me. Marquita is on the bravery report for calling the bravery hotline! I’m on the bravery report too for sharing the stories and clips from my first voice acting class and my first singing lesson.

Trail path in shade

From the start of the trail you can see how I chase the shade up the mountain by starting early in the day. Once the sun is up, it is unrelenting heat.

Here I am with Paul Gilmartin following our interview for his very successful podcast, “The Mental Illness Happy Hour.”

Podcast Recap

Thanks to Brave Companion Jenny, I was interviewed by comedian, Paul Gilmartin for his very successful podcast, The Mental Illness Happy Hour. I spill how it all went down and have a special gratitude surprise for Jenny. Thanks too to Garden Girl KP who kindly reviewed this show on her weight maintenance blog and who gave the show a 5 star review on iTunes. I ponder letting go of assumptions, welcome new listener Sofia from Sweden who reaches out via FB, and place new listener Amy on the Bravery Report for not only contacting me via the contact form, but for stepping up and calling the bravery hotline immediately after a compulsive eating experience to talk it through with us vs. beating herself up. Brava Amy! Last, but not least, Brave Companion, Dawny makes show history by being the FIRST BC to call for Foolish Fun. Thanks too to more brave companions who have shown their support to the show financially.

Just like we can have days where we feel fat, the day I recorded episode 65 I felt like my middle was feeling more fit so I snapped this selfie of it. Not so much to say my body looks good, but to remember *I* FELT it looked good. We can be so picky and down on ourselves. I’m happy to record moments of self-kindness.

Parkland grass and trees

I recorded here, at the park, following our bike ride on Monday. It was SO bright and hot. My podcast rock is located beyond the group of trees to the left.
