Do you struggle to make self-care a priority in your busy schedule? What if there was a better way to think about self-care that made it easier to integrate into your life? I sat down with Erin Aquin & Steve Haase to hear what they had to say about taking care of yourself from a leadership perspective and making self-care doable and accessible, even for the busiest doctors. One of the reasons we’re talking about this on the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians podcast is that taking proper care of yourself can help you solve some of the problems you’re relying on food to help you with right now. When you have appropriate tools to handle challenging areas of your life, food gets to just be food. Erin Aquin and Steve Haase are the co-founders of Superabound, a coaching company that helps business owners and leaders create a life and business that aligns with their unique vision. They are both Master Certified Life Coaches and co-authors of the upcoming book, tentatively titled Superabound: How to Live the Life the Universe is Dreaming for You. Topics covered in this episode include: A different way to think about self-care Doing things that are supportive of you and your body What the Tending Triad is If you’re interested in the type of self-care that doesn’t feel like yet another thing on your to-do list, tune in.

What can you fill your time with instead of eating? If you’ve been working on not overeating or emotionally eating and you’ve made some progress, you might notice that you’re not sure how to fill the void that food once filled. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the needs you have that you were trying to meet with food. This episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians will help you discover what things truly fill you up. Maybe you love sports, reading, drawing, painting, or sewing to name just a few possibilities.

I want to steer you away from things that will leave you feeling empty and towards things that will fill you with true satisfaction and joy.

I often hear from clients that they are Type A and they have all kinds of questions about how they should handle situations based on their Type A personality.

Just because you’re capable of doing something, doesn’t mean you have the capacity to do it. So why do we feel like we have to say yes to things even when we know we’re at max capacity? As women in the healthcare industry (or really any industry) we tend to fear being perceived as incapable. You may not even realize it, but subconsciously you might be holding onto the idea that if you say no to something, your colleagues are going to think you can’t do it. Ultimately, that’s just not a good enough reason to do things, so in this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I’m sharing some questions that you can ask yourself to identify whether or not you want to do something and have the capacity for it. We’re also talking about how to say no when you know that what you’re being asked to do isn’t right for you. Topics covered in this episode include: Things that we tend to take on even when we don’t have the capacity for themHow overextending yourself relates to your eating habits Questions to ask yourself when you’re considering taking on something new If you have a hard time saying no to things, this is for you.

Why do we feel shame so heavily around gaining weight back after losing some? There is an explanation for this when we think about the messages we receive about weight throughout our lives, but those external messages don’t actually mean anything about your worth at all. I’m making it my mission to release you of the shame surrounding weight gain. In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, I’m unpacking how to separate your body from your self-worth. I really think it’s time we stopped shaming ourselves for gaining weight back and started working on our self-love, self-compassion, and self-worth at any weight. Topics covered in this episode include: Why gaining weight back makes us feel shame How to get out of your own head Reaching a healthy mindset to lose weight from Separating your self-worth from your body It’s easier to love yourself when you’ve reached your goal and you’re maintaining the weight you want; it’s harder to love yourself when you’re not.

Do you feel like you’re allowed to lose weight? Not too long ago, I started noticing that there’s a lot of messaging surfacing online telling women that it’s not okay to lose weight. Women (especially celebrities) who lose weight come under a huge amount of fire and are shamed by other women for their decisions. Don’t women face enough shame already without us adding this to their plates? Here’s the thing. I think it often starts with good intentions from women who have had negative experiences with weight loss and don’t want anyone else to go through it. The problem is, it goes too far when we try to tell other adult women how to live their lives. Only you know what’s best for you, and guess what? If weight loss is part of what’s best for you, that’s okay! If you’re worried about how other people will react to your weight loss, use this episode to help you navigate those conversations. Topics covered in this episode include: How to support women without contributing to shameful messagesWhy you’re allowed to lose weight if that’s what you chooseHow to set boundaries with people who want to have a say in your decisions You don’t need anyone’s permission to do what’s best for you.
