Playing The Fool
Welcome to the PLAYING THE FOOL Podcast, I am your host Jarna Saunders.
I am a proud as fuck Life and Relationship Coach and personal development nerd, with a HUGE passion to get every single woman in the arena of their own lives.
I have over 10 years’ experience coaching 100's of women and couples.
I've been where you may be right now: for years I sat on the side-lines of my life, stuck in fear, in my head, in the past of that ONE TIME I was put back in my corner and I let it cripple me with fear.
That was until one day when the PAIN of staying hidden was too much to take and I made the choice to get my butt in the ARENA of MY OWN life.
To take the risk of looking like a beginner, looking silly and GOD forbid looking like a FOOL.
My promise to you is to show up here in all my parts and seasons with my heart proudly on my sleeve, gate keeping nothing but asking us all to WALK OUR GOD DAM ARSES out of the corners we were never born to exist in.
Let's Play.
Playing The Fool
Episode 12: Weight Gain, Disordered Eating and Walking Myself Home.
This episode feels big to share and not because I am nervous to talk about but I think that for every woman there is so much emotional charge attached to our bodies that this feels like a sensitive conversation. But one that is very close to my heart and something that I will never stop being proud of.
This is just one conversation of many that we will be having on this podcast because shame cannot exist inside of vulnerability and I will always give this the voice and power I believe it deserves.
In this episode I share my experience with gastric sleeve surgery, how I nearly broke a lady’s back at boot camp, and the hidden battles with food (since I was 7) and the confusion of comfort and safety that food brings.
If you’ve ever struggled with food, body image, or the weight of shame, I hope my story helps you to feel less alone and more back in your body.
