What is shame?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines shame as:
Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love, belonging, and connection. It thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put shame into a petri dish and douse it with these three things, it will grow exponentially into every corner and crevice of our lives.
In this episode, Lori Weber joins us to share her struggle and her journey in overcoming an eating disorder. Having spent the majority of her adult life in a disordered relationship with food, Lori describes her experience before as less about the food and more about the power food had over her and the way she obsessively behaved around it.
In addition, she pointed out that keeping this secret behavior away from others for decades made it all worse since it contributed to the growing vicious cycle of self-fulfilling judgments.
She successfully released herself from the spiral of shame when she realized that the behavior was separate from what she really is.
Lori is now on a mission to help others avoid the eating chaos she experienced. Her Mindful Eating Clinic, based in the UK, provides coaching and online courses to clients worldwide. She can treat binge-eating, bulimia, yo-yo-dieting, and obesity and is known for her blend of empathy and pragmatism, helping clients find a happy life with food.

Obsessed with Fear ft. Jenn Leconte (The Brené Brown Inspired Series)
March 10, 2022
•29m
What is fear?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines fear as:
A negative, short-lasting, high-alert emotion in response to a perceived threat, and, like anxiety, it can be measured as a state or trait.
Our fear response evolves over time to help us protect ourselves from dangerous situations. It can be disruptive and destructive, leading to anxiety, stress, and even panic attacks. But when used effectively, fear can push us to achieve great things, heightening our senses and preparing us to take quick and appropriate action to defend ourselves or others.
Jenn Leconte joins us on this episode to share how she has taken fear to a whole different level and used it for good. Instead of paralyzing her, fear enabled her to recover and reach exponential success.
She tells her story about coming to America from Jamaica at the age of 16 for college and learning how to cook to make ends meet. Left with almost nothing after a failed first marriage, Jenn chose to persevere and overcome the obstacles in starting a restaurant without any prior experience. This dedication and effort, moving herself away from her initial fears to a new comfort level, led her to become an award-winning chef based in Eatonville, Florida.
Jenn is the Founder and CEO of DaJen Eats, specializing in vegan recipes with a Jamaican flair. Her passion is to help people learn new techniques and discover exciting flavors on their food journey.
