24 APR 2024 · Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone  Do you find yourself wondering why you overeat, even as you reach for more food? You are not hungry, but something tells you to eat more. Why does that happen? Well, the first thing to know is that you are not alone. In fact, you are a part of the majority! Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA, PN 2 coach will consider the more obvious reasons for overeating and she'll delve into the more difficult causes that tend to be hidden from view. Overeating tends to be multifaceted, which makes sense when you consider how complex humans are! For example, the relationship between overeating and interpersonal relationships is often a key factor that needs to be understood before it can be addressed. You probably already know that individuals' relationships with food can impact their relationships with others. For instance, someone who struggles with emotional eating may find it challenging to engage in meaningful connections with friends or family members, as their focus may be consumed by thoughts of food or body image concerns. This can lead to feelings of isolation and hinder the development of supportive social networks. Is there really a solution? Tune in to today's episode to find out! Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA & PN2 Coach will show you some of the ways overeating quietly becomes a coping mechanism, and she'll offer ideas for how to safely overcome the strategies that once served you and now do not.   Light From The Shadows: Enriching The Lives Of Others Inspired Choices Network Hosts Author Michaela Gaffen Stone   Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1738249417 Amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1738249417     ~ More About Navigating Complicated Relationships with Michaela Gaffen Stone ~  Michaela Gaffen Stone is a Behavior Expert, Speaker, Educator, Human Design Intuitive and Transformational Coach.

3 APR 2024 · Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone  When was laziness invented? The word “lazy” first appeared in English around 1540; even back then, it was used in a judgmental way to refer to someone who supposedly didn't like work or effort. So where does the idea of laziness come from? Many etymologists believe it came from either the Middle Low German “lasich,” which meant “feeble” or “weak,” or from the Old English “lesu,” which meant “false” or “evil.” The idea that “lazy” people are weak and lack motivation, making them morally corrupt and evil, is still with us today. But is it really 'a thing'? Michaela Gaffen Stone, BCBA and Human Behavior expert will reveal the real meaning behind 'laziness' in this episode. While some studies of motivation suggest that laziness may be caused by a decreased level of motivation, lack of interest, and confidence which in turn can be caused by over-stimulation or excessive impulses or distractions, Michaela disagrees.

6 MAR 2024 · Navigating Complicated Relationships - Michaela Gaffen Stone  Join Michaela Gaffen Stone, Human Behavior Expert as she takes you on a riveting journey, delving deep into the world of agnotology - where ignorance is deliberately crafted to serve the interests of powerful industries. In this eye-opening episode, Michaela will shine a spotlight on the food industry, pharmaceutical giants, and the weight loss industry, uncovering the hidden tactics they employ to manipulate perception and obscure truth. Here are just a few of the key things you will take with you today: The truth about fad diets and quick fixes: Agnotology is the method used to persuade the public to try numerous fad diets and quick-fix solutions over their lifetime. Each one leaving the dieter poorer financially and convinced they have failed the diet, instead of understanding that the diet has failed YOU! How about the blame and shame that often accompanies dieting for weightloss? Agnotology! Between the weight loss industry telling you that the 'fix is easy' and the pharmaceutical giants offering a 'zero work' medical option, the subliminal message here is that YOU are the problem when easy fixes don't work. And they don't. Not long term, anyway. This can lead to increasing feelings of shame and inadequacy, further perpetuating the cycle of weight loss attempts and failures. Join human behavior expert, Michaela Gaffen Stone, as she uncovers what agnotology means for you.
