We did it!

My Netflix special, The Call to Courage, is now streaming in 190 countries and 29 languages.

And, when I say WE did it – I mean all of us.

I just finished my second read of Abby Wambach's amazing new book, "Wolfpack." One of my favorite lessons is Rush or Point.

When someone else scores a goal, rush toward her in celebration. Right now I’m running toward Beyoncé to say, “You’re a miracle and your Netflix documentary Homecoming is everything."

When you score the goal, point to the people that made your success possible – the player who passed the ball to you, the defenders that gave you time to set up the shot, or the coach that trained you or developed that play.

Every win is a team win.

Tonight I’m pointing at all of you. And, if I could, I’d be running full speed toward you for the biggest hug/tackle possible.

I’m pointing at the thousands of research participants who had the courage to tell me their stories. The people who have cheered me on, challenged me, read the books, shared the work, asked the hard questions, and helped me build this wholehearted community. That’s YOU. I’m pointing at YOU.

I’m also pointing at my family, my friends, my team, and the amazing crew at Netflix that made this possible. Your fingerprints and your hearts are all over this moment.

This special belongs to all of us. I hope it speaks to you. If you love it, share it. And hug/tackle someone to celebrate this amazing moment.

Today is the day.

Passover and Easter Blessings,
Brené ... See MoreSee Less

#intuituveeatingAs exciting as it is to see #IntuitiveEating gain popularity, it’s also important to recognize that misrepresentations, misapplications, and misappropriations abound. Diet culture is really sneaky and is co-opting Intuitive Eating big time. This makes learning how to spot fake Intuitive Eating an incredibly valuable skill! ⁣
⁣
Here are red flags I commonly see:⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is NOT the absence of counting macros on the weekend. There is no counting macros or points with IE.⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is NOT your ‘cheat day’.⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is NOT aligned with any weight loss food plan, including keto or any program with food rules for the purpose of shrinking your body.⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is about creating a healthy relationship with food, mind, and body. It’s also about bringing joy and pleasure back to the experience of eating. It’s NOT about the pursuit of weight loss. ⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is not a diet: it's a journey of learning and discovery—not pass or fail. There are no rules, just the 10 principles which are guide posts. You and only you get to decide what tastes/feels best in your body. You are the boss of you—you are in charge!⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is far more nuanced than "eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full." It's an integration of mind-body knowledge, recognizing that life gets hectic and busy at times. Sometimes, for example, your lunch break may be before you're physically hungry - that's okay! This is where your mind knowledge comes in: your body still needs nourishment before a busy afternoon.⁣
⁣
* Intuitive Eating is Health at Every Size aligned.⁣
⁣
⁣
I want to hear from you! What other strategies do you find helpful to spot fake Intuitive Eating?⁣
⁣
Before you comment, please note: I’m here to share the research & the platform of Intuitive Eating, as well as cultivate a supportive IE community. I will not be co-opted by or engaged with diet culture rhetoric. Any triggering comments will be deleted including fatphobic tropes or defending a diet, aka “lifestyle”.⁣

Every morning I try to be mindful of the time I have with my girls. This morning it was taking just 5min to play dolls with my youngest. The joy in her eyes while we played made my day.

Take a moment to slow down today and take in what’s around you; Whether it’s with your children, your partner, your friends or on your own. Be mindful, breathe and love.

Our office book club is taking a break from books and instead, we are all watching SHRILL which is currently airing on Hulu. Shrill is based on a memoir by fat-activist Lindy West and SNL actress Aidy Bryant .

We are only a few shows in but we're really excited that cultural and systematic fat stigma and fat shaming is being depicted in mainstream entertainment.

Why do we care about this? Because if you are taught by culture to hate your body and loathe fatness, you will not be able to nourish your body intuitively.

We often hear "But it's not healthy to be fat!" and we respond with "Chasing diets to avoid stigma is cultural bullying and leads to higher weight compared to intuitive eating. One can be healthy irregardless of weight (HAES). And lastly, body size is complicated - best not to judge."

If you are watching Shrill, let us know what you think!
