Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC Episode 295

Today we continue our Body Stories series with Sas Petherick!

She joined me on Insatiable last month (listen here!) to talk about her intentional weight loss journey. This week she returns so we can catch up on how things are going one month in.

Tune in as we explore public weight loss, before and after photos, psychological flexibility, how it feels to eat more calories, healing our childhood wounds around sports, and more.

We discuss:

  • Why we shouldn’t judge a celebrity (or anyone) who loses weight
  • How it feels to be bombarded by before & after photos
  • Rejecting weight loss as a “hero’s journey”
  • Discipline vs devotion & the myth of consistency
  • Where Sas is going for support with eating, food & workouts
  • How Sas felt when her trainer suggested she eat more calories per day
  • Learning about macros & how they impact satiation
  • The stories we have around sports & who’s “sporty”
  • What’s shifting for Sas around movement & being active

 

More about our guest: Sas Petherick believes that healing our self-doubt is one of the most important contributions we can make to ourselves, our families, our work, and the world.

Sas holds a Master's degree from Oxford, and her research on self-doubt was published in the International Journal of Coaching and Mentoring. She has developed an evidence-based, trauma-informed, ICF-accredited coaching methodology for cultivating self-belief.

For over a decade, Sas has coached with hundreds of women experiencing self-doubt in their professional and personal lives. Sas hosts the top 1% rated self-doubt podcast Courage & Spice which has enjoyed over half a million downloads. She is also an accomplished speaker and has developed coaching workshops and programmes for clients like BBC Worldwide and Pinterest. Her writing has appeared in numerous magazines.

After 25 years in the UK, Sas currently lives by the beach in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, with her partner Ash and pooch Bohdi, imagining a post-capitalist world, exploring consciousness, and listening to obscure UFO podcasts.
