Episode 120: Marriage/Partnership Series: Overcoming Infidelity and Inner Child Work with Ingrid Galloway

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-2xekn-12b71ba

Today we continue on in the partnership series. We previously talked about some of the basics of relationships with a big focus on communication. One of the areas that we hear a lot of, and many of us in a relationship really fear is infidelity. But, what if it happens to us? How do we move forward? Do we move forward together?

I am happy to dig more into these important relationships with Ingrid Galloway. Ingrid is a Relationship Coach and a Spa Therapist at Kahyangan in Australia.

Today we are going to hear her thoughts on common issues in relationship like infidelity, building and rebuilding trust and how to make it work and when to move on.

Is “Transformation Tuesday” just fat-shaming?

After scrolling through my IG feed and seeing one too many before and after photos, captioned with “look how horrible I used to look?”, I am calling it what it is – “fat-shaming”. Transformation Tuesday photos celebrate our “new self”, but at the cost of saying that our “old self” was lacking, unworthy, stupid, lazy, unmotivated etc.

I am tired of the negative narrative around health and fitness. It denotes that our “old self” was “bad” somehow, just because we didn’t have the motivation or knowledge that our “new self” has. Maybe we were struggling with anxiety or depression, maybe we didn’t have a great health coach or family support, maybe we couldn’t afford healthy foods, maybe our hormones were out of whack. There can be a million reasons why someone is struggling with “weight”!

I think we should move to celebrating where we are at in our health journey and finding positive forms of motivation (like wanting to reduce inflammation, increase mobility and strength etc.). The focus on putting our “old self” down is not body positive, it is fat-shaming.

Here are a few ways that I am reaching to be more body positive:

1. Removing or “unfollowing” accounts from my feed that focus on a negative body narrative. The non-stop shots of abs and before and after photos is not helping me to feel good. And, in order to accomplish my health and fitness goals, I need to feel good about myself and positive about where I am at and where I am going;
2. Showing my progress in a positive way – posting photos of me “walking the walk” by being active or putting together a healthy meal or snack that keep myself motivated (while not triggering myself or others).
3. Being kind to myself if/when I slip. Just focus on getting back to the healthy routine of fitness and eating well for energy and health.
