E04: Conversation with Joy Overstreet

In today's episode we welcome Joy Overstreet.Joy Imboden Overstreet created the original Thin Within workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1975.  She was one of the very first health educators to ditch diets in favor of mindful eating. She soon realized that being mindful often amplified those shaming internal voices that plague so many weight-worriers.  After a life-changing encounter with a cherry pie-eating friend, she designed a process of self-discovery to root out the tired stories, self-sabotaging beliefs and counter-productive behaviors that had kept her failing at so many diets. She created some simple practices that increased her pleasure in eating, improved her relationship to her body, and have kept her slim ever since. Thousands have benefited from this process over the years. Joy has a Masters degree in Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley. Currently she lives in Portland, OR.—-----------------------------------------------------You can find our guest here: WebsiteFacebookInstagram
