Big update! The chaos is ending. Listen to this episode’s intro for the explanation.

This podcast is about to become an archive of old episodes, dedicated to The F*ck It Diet. But before it ends, I need one more chaotic moment: having to repost this episode that I already posted last month. Why? After all of that, trying to merge my old podcast into substack, I decided instead, to “split” my podcasts again, and leave The F*ck It (Diet) Podcast as it’s own, standalone archive, that’s specific to the food healing journey. This way, it will better be able to support new people who are reading the book, or just finding the information for the first time.

But because I had the podcast merged for a few months over on substack, there were a few episodes that were posted on the new substack feed, that were not posted on the old feed. My episode with Irene on our nervous systems is one of them, so now that I’ve “split” the podcasts, it has to be “reposted” over here again, if I want it to be on this feed. And, I think this episode is really relevant to “The Emotional Part” of The F*ck It Diet. So I want it to be here! You may have already listened to my conversation with Irene back when I posted it last month! If that’s the case, you can just listen to my new intro where I explain why I’m ending this podcast, and starting fresh somewhere else.

My new podcast will be over at carolinedooner.substack.com (there, you can find the actual podcast link listings. So if you want to find my new podcast on spotify or apple, you’re going to have to separately follow me over there!)

Also! If you’ve listened to my conversation with Irene already, she is currently enrolling her yearly program Smart Body, Smart Mind through September 19th, 2022. If you’ve been wanting to go deep on nervous system and trauma work, make sure to check it out. To get some of her trainings for free, check out her free video series (it’s like 2 hours worth of video lessons!).

My Conversation with Irene

Today I am sharing my conversation with Irene Lyon, a trauma expert, educator, and trained somatic practitioner. We talk about some of the basics of the nervous system, the body holding onto trauma, and some myths and misconceptions about how healing works.

If you’ve read The F*ck It Diet or Tired as F*ck, you know how passionate I am about this method of healing, even though… I have been thinking about how much I should be getting back into focusing on it… And, as I say at the end of the episode, I actually just now am back into focusing on it. I just took Irene’s 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up. And I love it all so much, that I am now an affiliate for it.

What that means is, if you use my link for her program, and sign up, I will get a commission.

As I mentioned above, Irene is currently enrolling her yearly program Smart Body, Smart Mind through September 19th, 2022. If you’ve been wanting to go deep on nervous system work, make sure to check it out! To go through some of her trainings for free, check out her free trauma healing video series (it’s like 2 hours worth of video lessons!)

You can also find Irene on instagram here.
