Body initiations. Rites of passages. Women's bodies. Let me tell you a story. This is a story that is still very tender in my heart that happened just 2 weeks ago as I went through a MAJOR body initiation that I was really not anticipating (I guess we never can, right? lol... seems to be part of the deal to be unprepared for it!). And this story is simply one of the many ways this story has been told and will keep being told in your own life, as a woman living in a woman's body. The kind of body initiations which come with some much questioning, where you make your body wrong, where you feel like you can't trust your body, where you feel like things should NOT be happening the way they are, where you want to CONTROL whatever is happening... that's the kind of body initiations I'm talking about. Enjoy the listen and let me know how your last body initiations showed up for you! Aglaee here@aglaeejacobSwitch It On!Embodied Eating Academy Wait List

Here we are, finally! Number 100 felt like a lot of pressure until I realized that just like any number, it really doesn't mean anything! And today, I really wanted to speak to women familiar with binge eating. You know, this feeling of loss of control, of hiding to eat, of eating a lot as fast as possible... ... well this is for you if you've been binge eating for at least 3 months and have already tried to either control / plan your food OR giving yourself full permission in an attempt to break free of it, without the desired results... In this episode, I share a bit more about my own journey, the top 2 mistakes women dealing with binge eating make, and how to find your way OUT! (Hint: it is about embodied eating and coming back to your body!) Enjoy the listen, Aglaee p.s. here are the links for today's episode: Switch It On!The Embodied Eating Academy Waitlist@aglaeejacob

If you ever have or currently fear a specific food, food group, food component (i.e. gluten) or macro (i.e. carbs or fat), this episode is for you. As I tell you the story of my fear of fat for many years which then transitioned into a fear of carbs, I tell you all about the EXACT 3 LESSONS that helped me not only overcome these fears but also find a way of eating that allows me to feel my healthiest, most energetic, sexiest and most radiant Self! You may not even think about these as fears per se, but it could be for anything in food that you avoid OR believe to be the root of all evil when it comes to diseases + weight. Enjoy the listen and be ready to feel differently about food by the end of this episode! With love, Aglaee p.s. connect with me on Instagram @aglaeejacob.

I just turned 40! Since being in my mid-30s, that number felt like a big deal and I have definitely felt scared of how my body will age, both in terms of what I look like and my health. In this episode, I share what the 2 worst things that can ever happen to women are (according to society and then according to me) and help you shift old stories you have about aging so that you can start writing a new story about aging centered around vitality, radiance, and wisdom! If you're someone who has fear about aging (or tries to avoid thinking about it and pretend it's not happening), then I'm so excited for you to experience a major shift by the end of this listen!

In this very special episode, I ask my partner 4 questions to uncover THE secret to an embodied relationship. What is an embodied relationship? I invite you to lean into this and create your own definition AND I'll share what it means to me. To me, an embodied, loving relationship with my life partner is all about not being in my mind all the time and really constantly practicing bringing all of the knowledge about love, healing, inner child, speaking our needs, communication, trust, vulnerability, and so much more... into the day-to-day. It's also about practicing being IN my body so I can be aware of the different sensations giving me clues as to whatever is working well or whatever could be improved in our relationship. I really believe you're going to LOVE this one and you will receive exactly what you're meant to receive to feel even more love, whether you're in a relationship right now or not. I highly encourage you to listen to this conversation with your partner to spark discussions together (or to imagine yourself listening to it with one if you're still calling him/her in!).d Connect with us to share any feedback and insights you've received to brighten our day!

I started getting obsessed with desserts and sweets at a very young age and was typing my own cookbook with only dessert recipe on my parents' 386 computer back in the 90s.... lol From there, feeling rejected by friends because of my appearance led me on this journey of trying to lose weight to fix myself and hopefully get the friendship and love I was craving... ... and the restrictions then led to emotional eating, stress eating, and binge eating and me feeling like completely addicted to sugar. Chocolate was always my go-to and now I realize that it was the Spirit of Mama Cacao calling me all along... if you feel this pull towards chocolate, it may be the same for you, too! See what happened for me on my journey to finding kakao and freeing myself from sugar addiction so you can do the same too! Enjoy the listen!

The podcast is back after a 3-month break! You may notice the name changed... we're now The Embodied Life Podcast (previously the nourishing podcast). Still on the same path but yet another rebirth, as you've probably had a few on your own journey, too! In this episode, I tell you the exact compliment I most desire you to receive and that I know you WILL receive very soon if you keep walking on the embodiment journey. It isn't about external validation or anything like that, it's more about being witnessed by other wise women and having an opportunity to reflect and see how far you've come. The inner work that isn't always easy to do in the shadow and dark corners of ourselves has ripple effect from the inside out that truly lead to more RADIANCE with your health, energy, self-expression, and unique beauty!

In this episode, my dear soul sister Jen interviews me and has me share part of my healing journey I had never shared in this way before... a journey to radical self-honesty starting from the relationship with my body and what has led me to become a woman of trust in creating the changes I desire in life on all levels (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and relational aspects)! We expore: Unmasking our masks can be a scary process. How can we navigate with ease? How pain plays an important role to radical self-honesty? Why Self-Responsibility is a must-learn skill in the relationship realm(especially for highly sensitive souls) How to lean in more when facing obstacles in relationships (using our friendship as a real example) What does it feel to come back to our body and let it guide us to a greater level of honesty? What tactics we use as strategies to avoid being honest with ourselves? Nourishing inquiries to develop stronger self-trust with self-honesty Enjoy this interview!

Have you ever felt like you couldn't stop eating or that there was something wrong with the way that you ate? I told myself that so many times during or after eating a whole batch of cookies (or cookie dough), bag of chips, or box of crackers (sometimes all at once). I just felt like I was seeing myself eating all of this food when I didn't really feel hungry and knew it wasn't good for me but I just couldn't stop myself... until I'd feel even more awful not only in my body but also mentally and emotionally because of all of the beating up, guilt, and shame that followed... The 5 steps I share with you today are the very same I used to free myself from emotional eating / mindless eating / binge eating. It takes courage. It takes repetition. It takes practice. And yet, it works! You can also download a free guide with these 5 steps here: aglaeejacob.com/freeguide. And I'd love to connect over on Instagram @aglaeejacob. Sending you so much love & many blessings, Aglaee

Mirror, mirror... what does your mirror says? Or rather what does your own reflection of your reflection has to say? Have you ever considered that the reason why it seems so hard to stick to healthy eating habits isn't because your plans are not good or that there is something wrong with you, but rather because you haven't explored the deeper layer that represents your relationship with your body. This is what this episode is about. Discover how sneaky thoughts about your body can affect your eating habits and how to shift towards healtheir thoughts and habits to nourish the whOle you. With much love, Aglaee

What were you taught about food and your body growing up? Many of us have been handed off disempowering beliefs about food and our bodies... let's call them lies. Today, I will reveal the 3 biggest ones that I've worked on for myself and that I've seen in so many of the women I've worked with.... with the intention of you illuminating exactly what you're ready to see so that you can eat in a more nourishing way and be even more of the radiant woman you're here to be!

Let me ask you this: what is your frequency like? If we were to describe your frequency as a radio station, what would it sound like and what mood would it put me in? Whatever your frequency is right now, it's okay. And it does change all the time although most of us tend to have a default setting that is easy to go back to... What if we could change our frequency as we do a radio station to be more in the receiving mode for the type of life we choose to create? This is what today's episode is about! Enjoy!
