On today’s edit, Anna talks to Diana Bedoya, a Senior Lecturer and teaching fellow at Simon Fraser University, who has taught thousands of undergraduate students to understand their bodies and care for them in a way that doesn’t compromise mental health. This edit is a must-listen for anyone who has ever carried around body shame and is looking to start living their best life!Other topics discussed on this edit: Toxic diet culture Body acceptance Body celebration Having a conversation with your body Changing your outlook Living your best life and finding YOUR best weight Weight-based approaches to health, and non-weight-based approaches to health Obesity Ableism and ageism in the body conversation Body shame and guilt Nutrition Science Mental Health Combatting notions of a “cool girls club” Is body love necessary or possible?About the Guest: Diana Bedoya dreams of a day when we finally realize that our bodies deserve to be celebrated and loved for the marvels they are. As a senior lecturer and teaching fellow at Simon Fraser University, she has taught thousands of undergraduates to understand their bodies and care for them in an individualized manner -- one that certainly doesn’t compromise mental health. She is the author of two nutrition textbooks, delivers one of Canada’s only obesity courses and is the co-chair of her department’s mental wellness committee. Her mental health advocacy as well as her personal struggles with obesity, binge eating, and poor body image allow her to deliver content in a practical, compassionate and empowering manner; key components of her growing YouTube channel and her upcoming public nutrition and weight courses. By teaching people to love and appreciate their bodies, her ultimate goal is for us to reclaim the joyful life we all deserve to have!Website and social:Website: www.dianabedoya.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/thedianabedoyaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvYWHR-YLdlZ9HIWyCWKPxQdbedoya@sfu.caAbout the Host: @unapologeticanna on FB and Instagram UnapologeticStories.com Anna was born with a deep fascination for letters - a fascination that deepened when she discovered those letters could turn into words, those words into sentences and those sentences into stories.

How to Find Liberation after Incarceration: The True Story of Bridgette Simpson | EDIT11-S3

On this week’s edit, Anna talks to author and speaker, Aurora Winters, a survivor of familial sex trafficking, incest and abuse.

Alex Schneider

On this week’s edit, Anna talks to author and speaker, Alex Schneider, whose mother was murdered by her step-father when she was only 16 years old. After a decade of healing, Alex has remarkably learned how to find compassion, advocate for the mental health community and navigate the complexities of forgiveness. An inspiring tale of overcoming, Alex’s story teaches us that when grief and trauma are at play, the most powerful thing you can do is write your own new story. Other topics discussed on this edit: &gt; PTSD, Trauma &gt; Mental Health &gt; Psychosis &gt; Grief + Forgiveness &gt; Writing a book &gt; Telling your story, your way  &gt; True Crime Podcasts&gt; Compassion&gt; Group Therapy&gt; The magic of dragonflies About the Guest: Alex Schneider is an author, speaker, and advocate from the West Coast of BC.

Not surprisingly, Anna graduated from The University of Victoria, with a Degree in both English and Gender Studies, fuelling her eventual mission to put the power of words back into the hands of women.Despite multiple other certifications along the way, including one with world-renowned author and personal transformation pioneer, Deepak Chopra, it was ultimately her personal battle with post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety that became the catalyst for the work she does now, as she helps pave the way for others to live with vulnerability and courage whether they are online, offline or on stage. She is currently completing her Masters degree in Professional Communication at Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to the Unapologetic Stories Podcast!

How to Overcome the Unthinkable: The True Story of Alex Schneider | EDIT09 - S3

It’s all about boudoir, overcoming shame and feeling empowered to own our unconventional paths in this nostalgic edit featuring the very first editor of the Unapologetic Stories podcast. This week, Anna talks to Hayley Loewen about what she’s been up to since she left the podcast, returned to nursing, sold her business and dug deep to find a passion she really feels called to.  Other topics discussed on this edit: &gt; Miscarriage &gt; Body shame and society’s expectations of women &gt; Eating disorders &gt; Rejecting “all-in” culture&gt; Working in a crisis centre &gt; Mental health &gt; Career change&gt; The power of boudoir photography &gt; Being uncaged &gt; Slut-shaming &gt; People pleasing About the Guest: Hayley Loewen’s personal portfolio includes an intense range of sexually negative experiences that have inspired her work with women through photography. Her years of being the focus of slut shaming overexposed her sexuality and created a distorted image of how she should look and behave. Triggered by society’s continued exploitation of sexual negativity, Hayley’s traumatic sexual experiences have empowered her to help other women feel comfortable with their own sexual identity. While capturing boudoir images, she helps women find their inner goddess, reclaim their feminine power, and work towards healing the multigenerational trauma that continues to shame women’s sexuality.WEBSITE: boudoirwithhayley.comIG: www.instagram.com/boudoirwithhayley About the Host: @unapologeticanna on FB and Instagram UnapologeticStories.com Anna was born with a deep fascination for letters - a fascination that deepened when she discovered those letters could turn into words, those words into sentences and those sentences into stories.

How to Reclaim Your Sexual Power | EDIT08-S3

Justine Sones

Depression, boundaries, mental health and self-care are just some of the BIG topics we talk about on this week’s powerful edit with Stress Management Coach, Justine Sones. Anna and Justine get real about their personal experience with depression and setting boundaries, as well as talk about some of the broader problems with the way society depletes us of our essential needs.   Core topics discussed on this edit: &gt; Depression&gt; Self Care Practises &gt; Stress-management &gt; Post-partum Depression &gt; Past patterns &gt; Shame + Fear &gt; Taylor Swift + Chocolate Fondue Fountains &gt; Boundaries with family, friends and coworkers &gt; Motherhood &gt; Revolutions, social justice work, and the power of rest About the Guest: Justine Sones is a writer and stress management coach who loves drinking coffee, helping burnt-out humans set boundaries, and talking about things that hurt. During her career as a massage therapist, Justine’s practice was dedicated to exploring the roles that stress, pain, and relaxation play in healing the physical body. She came to realize that the support her clients needed required more than a massage, and made it her mission to help them. Justine now spends her time writing about feelings and coaching other over-functioning humans develop healthy boundaries and practice sustainable self-care as they navigate the messy intersections of partnering, parenting, -preneuring, and pandemicking. Learn more at www.justinesones.com and follow @justinesones on Twitter and Instagram About the Host: @unapologeticanna on FB and Instagram UnapologeticStories.com Anna was born with a deep fascination for letters - a fascination that deepened when she discovered those letters could turn into words, those words into sentences and those sentences into stories.

Once we can come to an acceptance of self we allow space to make changes in life that can lead to an overall happier and healthier life.   Health is not a size.   Health, Self Love and Fitness look different to everyone. When we allow our minds to transform the physical transformation just happens. Ashley and Melanie helped the women realize that there is no “right” way to navigate this journey. We have to celebrate the little moments along the way, it’s the micro decisions that we make throughout the day that can create the most fulfilling life.   What does self love look like to you? We would love to hear from you.   Our Bio:   Nothing connects us faster than being Unapologetically real. Meaning, NOTHING is off limits in this unconventional, conversational girl talk style cast. You will be shown the “HOW TO's” on everything unapologetic, which means we will flip the switch on traditional thinking and unravel the stories that have held women back.   You will be introduced to a community of women speakers, coaches and facilitators repped by the Unapologetic Connections Speaker Agency, in ways you have NEVER heard them before. Topics will span sex, relationships, business, friendship, celebrities, travel, grief, love, loss and so much more.   As Unapologetic Speaker Graduates working the speaker circuit and performing live together, we have been through the trenches with one another, sharing innermost secrets, darkest hours, and greatest joys. That means YOU ALWAYS skip the small talk and get real with this community of badass wise women, who are bonded more than super glue and have one totally unapologetic goal in mind: get real, get to the truth and tell it exactly like it is.

Ep 7: How To Love Your Body

Jessika Houston of Glitter N' Grace Life Coaching leads the conversation around “How to add more adventure into your life”. As an avid adventure seeker herself, Jessika starts the conversation around what ‘Adventure’ means to each of us and what steps we can take to create more adventure in our lives.

Adding some adventure into your life creates variety, excitement and personal growth!! It can be something small like trying a new recipe or driving somewhere you haven’t been before, or something big like taking a trip alone or starting a new career. Listen in this week to see how you can start increasing the adventure in your life!! Our Bio:   Nothing connects us faster than being Unapologetically real.

Ep 14: How to Make Female Friends

On March 7th, 2020, we welcome @thebirdspapaya, Sarah Nicole Landry, to our Unapologetically HER show. The theme for 2020 is STRIPPED. And this will be the most vulnerable, the most stripped back Sarah has ever been. ON this week's episode, airing tomorrow, Thursday Dec. 5th, the ladies and I talk all about: HOW TO BE STRIPPED. We go there. I cry. (Yep, that happens, too). And, as always, we give you the best of our hearts and souls. This episode is particularly special for me, and it makes me emotional even thinking about what this incredible community of Unapologetic Speakers has done to bring us to this point. It is my favourite episode we've recorded to date. And I can't wait for you all to hear. Please tune in tomorrow when we release: HOW TO BE STRIPPED Featuring me, Anna,and my amazing colleagues: Balancing Energy,I Am Blessed Mala Beads, Ashley McIver Health Coaching and Glitter N' Grace xo Sending love and hugs to you all. And thank YOU for your support of our launch today. Tickets are now on sale for the show and we are crying with joy seeing the purchases come in. Gratitude, always xo • Anna xo

Ep 6: How To Recognize Defining Moments

Episode 5   Title: How To Own Your Story   This week, our topic was led by Unapologetically Her Founder, and Principle Facilitator of the Unapologetic Speaker Training Program, Anna Mullens.   Anna was called to a discussion about how we attach to our circumstances and form our identities (and our egos) around the story, and not the soul.   The truth is: we are NOT our stories. We are so much more!   When we can break through the shame and really connect to one another, releasing ourselves of the false identities our stories have shaped for us, we are able to live our lives with so much more freedom, creativity, love and divine wisdom.   It is Anna’s relentless and mission to allow women to detach from the stories holding us back and truly see that we are already everything we need.   We hope you enjoy this beautiful and soulful conversation!     Our Bio:   Nothing connects us faster than being Unapologetically real.

EP 5: How To Move Beyond Your Story

How To Be Perfect   Do you have troubles meeting your own standards? Have you been told that the standards you set for yourself are too high? Do your standards get in your own way? If you answered yes to any of these questions you may have a perfectionist monkey running around in your brain. That monkey can cause stress, anxiety, nervousness, frustration and even depression. Especially if you constantly criticize yourself for not doing a good enough job. This is my issue, or “monkey.” I like to call her “blah blah.” Yep you heard me right “blah blah.” She is the critical voice inside my head that compares my performance to everyone else’s. Well it’s time for “blah blah” to stop”blahing.” Ask yourself.... What is perfection? What defines success? What’s feeding your soul? After meditation, perfection to me is simply waking up with air in my lungs. I’m learning that success is feeling enough. And lastly my soul is fed with awareness. I’m aware of the signs of procrastination, worry and doubt. This is “blah blah.” This awareness helps my soul to find the thoughts that feed me. Are you ready to set some boundaries with “blah blah?” Stay tuned for tomorrow’s episode where we speak more about perfectionism and how “blah blah” has haunted the thoughts of  Hayley Loewen Intuitive Business Mentor her entire life.
