<p>Can we really “just stop” feeling bad about our bodies?</p><p>Our guess is that you probably already know, deep down, the answer to this question. What we can or can’t control can be a hard truth to face.</p><p>Raquel and Lee explain why we can’t “just stop” feeling whatever we’re feeling, how avoiding “feeling bad” about your body actually backfires, and identify the power struggle we get in with difficult things we can’t control often brings more pain. </p><p>Want to know what beach balls or social media algorithms have to do with the concept of acceptance? Give this episode a listen to find out!</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with The Aleo Collective though:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/aleocollective/">instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://aleocollective.ca/">website</a></p><p><a href="mailto:thealeocollective@gmail.com">thealeocollective@gmail.com</a></p>

<p>Is it really all that bad to use laxatives? What should I know about them? When should I be worried about my laxative use? Where’s the line for laxative use becoming an eating disorder behaviour?</p><p>Yep, Courtenay and Lee talk about poop today! They bust some myths and misconceptions about laxatives, explain what they actually are, the 3 main different types, how they each work, and what are the potential harms/risks of laxatives when not used appropriately. They also provide listeners some helpful “yellow flags” to look for in considering your relationship with laxatives as an eating disorder, compensatory behaviour.</p><p><br></p><p>They provide listeners some concrete harm reduction strategies and tips you can implement with your laxative use today. </p><p><br></p><p>Connect with The Aleo Collective though:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/aleocollective/">instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://aleocollective.ca/">website</a><br></p>

<p>If mindfulness is noticing the present moment on purpose, what might that actually look like in practice? What does it sound like? What’s an example of a mindfulness practice?</p><p><br></p><p>Lee and Raquel give some examples about how we can practice mindfulness even in the way we talk or articulate the problems, concerns, or pain that we experience as humans. Raquel also shares her go-to practice she likes to use in sessions with clients to introduce them to the concept of mindfulness. Somehow, a connection is made between mindfulness and the classic thriller film JAWS, and the hosts touch on how mindfulness can help with body images concerns. </p><p><br></p><p>Connect with The Aleo Collective though:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/aleocollective/">instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://aleocollective.ca/">website</a></p>
