Our Body Stories series is back with another installment of my friend Sas Petherick’s intentional weight loss journey.
We’re three months in now, and she’s discovering how her new routines are integrating into her daily life and reshaping her identity in the process.
Tune in to hear us unpack the emotional body, the power of habits, and how to actually stop treating food as an escape.
We discuss:
- Self-authoring and redefining what it means to “work out”
- How to cultivate self-compassion without resignation
- Ways that Sas is handling “bad days” without turning to food as an escape
- Rated of Perceived Exertion (RPE) & the reasons we underestimate our ability
- Why support from others is so important
- The Kardashians' new food product
- How much weight Sas has lost so far (stick around to the end for that!)
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.
