Summary
Most of us have participated in "diet culture" at one time or another, which can leave us feeling like a failure. My guest Karuna May and I discuss a more soulful approach to health that allows us to treat ourselves with compassion and to see the wholeness and sacredness of who we really are.
In this episode you'll learn:
* How to let go of the "quick fix" and begin to practice a lifelong devotion to your body
* The importance of looking at our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and experiences before we focus on our actions
* Why viewing our bodies as the home of our spirits can have a dramatic impact on our ability to eat healthfully in a consistent way
* How creating a good relationship with our bodies can change every aspect of our lives.
* And much more!

| 0:05.7 | Then this podcast is for you. |
| 0:08.5 | I'm Dr. Jen Ridey and welcome to Vibrant Happy Women. |
| 0:12.9 | Hey there, everyone. |
| 0:14.3 | I am here with Karuna Mae and we're going to be talking about health, |
| 0:18.3 | but in a very soulful, earthy, authentic, and spiritual way, that really |
| 0:23.8 | resonates for me. You know, Karuna is all about the long-term game, the long road, and not the |

| 0:38.5 | in our bodies and on the outside. So I don't give anything more away, but Karuna, welcome to |
| 0:44.0 | vibrant happy women. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for having me. I just feel |
| 0:49.1 | honored to be here. I love your podcast. I love what you do. So thank you. Likewise. Likewise. So I guess, tell us an overview of what we're going to cover today. The three main points you're going to be talking about. And then we'll go back and share how your story led you to these truths. I think. Yeah, sure. My business is called simple soulful health. |
| 1:13.0 | And the mission of my work is to allow space and time for women to connect more |
| 1:19.7 | deeply to their bodies, to build a deeper relationship with their health and their |
| 1:24.9 | body. |
| 1:26.1 | So what am I mean by soulful? |
| 1:28.0 | And I think it's really important to make sure that we come at this information with a common |
| 1:32.6 | language and a common understanding of what we're talking about. |
| 1:35.8 | And so when I say the word soulful, I mean kind of how the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines |
| 1:42.3 | it, which is full of emotion. |
| 1:45.7 | And so what that means to me is that any kind of health journey needs to be recognized |
