In this first episode of the new year, host Christine Pensa welcomed guest Dr. Sabina Singwell, PhD, writer, social scientist and creatrix of School of Bitchcraft, who works as an advocate for sanity and freedom around food. Bitchcraft is her shorthand for liberating your mind and your body from our sexist diet culture. Sabina shared how healing her relationship with food and her body ended up breaking her open to healing through self knowledge and acceptance. She says, “Exploring how you relate to food is actually a magnificent doorway to discovering core beliefs about your very life.” Sabina invites us to stop shooting the messenger—food—allowing ourselves to move into the things we might be resisting in that relationship. As she has found—that’s where our healing gold really lies. As the conversation unfolded we talked about how unpacking the stories and patterns behind our relationship with food can help us come back into greater self love and a return to body sovereignty. Sabina pointed out it’s time to drop the self care narratives that are really about a pursuit of “perfection” with a veneer of self care over it, and lovingly embrace true sacred self care. This episode is an invitation to reassess our relationship with our bodies, food and our sacred self care by allowing the focus and breakthrough to come from the inside. Moving into 2021 is our time to release the distorted lenses and, as Sabina calls it, the external chorus. That chorus doesn’t reflect the truth of our magnificence. Instead, the focus shifts inside to learn to recognize the true physical needs and joys of our bodies, rather than being driven by distorted beliefs and emotions of ourselves or others. In this way, Sabina invites us to practice “body neutrality” by surrendering to the “goodness of our own knowing” and our body’s own knowing, while honouring the body’s divine cues.

Episode 118, Dr. Sabina Singwell and Body Neutrality, Honouring the body's cues to master your narrative around body sovereignty

Sabina Singwell is a writer, social scientist and creatrix of the School Of Bitchcraft. She helps her clients “who are trapped in weight loss hell” achieve a healthy relationship with their bodies &amp; food. We talk about the word “bitch”, Feminism &amp; The Patriarchy. She describes her disillusionment with academia after getting her PHD in Political Science and shares insights on disordered eating, meaning-making &amp; choosing new narratives for one’s body.  She also relates how she took her husband’s surname 14 years after getting married despite what her twenty-something self may have thought. “I could not conceive of any logic for why a woman would change her name when she got married. Fourteen years later … (I took my husband’s last name).  For me, what it was about ultimately: I had an extremely chaotic childhood. When I quit trying to manipulate my body and I was able to learn how to deeply trust my body, I found this deep well of self-trust. And when I connected so deeply with that self trust, I realized all the shit that I went through in my childhood didn’t leave me a broken person. I am a deeply whole (and deeply flawed) person, but there is nothing wrong with me. And when I realized that, and I absolutely never would have gotten there if I hadn’t also given up chronic dieting, I wanted a symbol of how much I had divested myself from beliefs I had about myself as a result of my childhood. And because of the loving family that I had made with my husband and my daughter, the love that we have really also contributed to my transformation, that’s when I decided that I was also gonna take the same last name as my husband and my daughter because I got so much more love from the family unit that we created than I had ever experienced in my birth family.”--- SZABO/STRONGMAN HOLIDAY SHOW TIX: https://bit.ly/SzaboStrongmanTIX2020 SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://bit.ly/aswKO-FI---SABINA SINGWELL WEB: https://schoolofbitchcraft.com--- AND SOMETIMES ...
