Big update! The chaos is ending. Listen to this episode's intro for the explanation. This podcast is about to become an archive of old episodes, dedicated to The F*ck It Diet. But before it ends, I need one more chaotic moment: having to repost this episode that I already posted last month. Why? After all of that, trying to merge my old podcast into substack, I decided instead, to "split" my podcasts again, and leave The F*ck It (Diet) Podcast as it's own, standalone archive, that's...

Welcome to this super casual podcast by Caroline Dooner, the author of The F*ck It Diet and Tired as F*ck. Back in 2016, this podcast was a way to talk more about The F*ck It Diet, and healing from dieting, but most of the episodes dedicated to The F*ck It Diet were posted pre-2022. Now Caroline also talks about other relevant (and irrelevant) topics like: black and white thinking, cult mentality, exhaustion, productivity culture, and allll the rest. Caroline chats with herself and with...

Sorry for that epic podcast delay… again. I didn’t know what I was doing with moving my podcast hosting, so it delayed everything a lot. Today I’m sharing my conversation with Seerut Chawla. (We recorded back at the beginning of April! Agh!) We talk about her brief foray into cancelling someone on the internet, her change of heart, and both of our experiences waking up to the insanity and cult dynamics of cancel culture… It’s a good one! Find Seerut’s instagram, twitter, and...

Today's episode is a conversation with Lindsey Lockett, trauma educator and coach, and she tells her story of how she left Fundamentalist Christianity, the fallout in her body and mind of living so long in such a binary belief system, and how she found trauma healing and nervous system work.

Today I am sharing my conversation with Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDRDS-S, where she talks about diet culture and purity culture in the church (and how is mirrors our culture at large!). We also chat about Gwen Shamblin, the infamous "Christian" cult leader, and the way the bible was (mis)interpreted. Though, today's episode is from the perspective how to change the mindset in the church from a focus on purity, to one of love, acceptance, and "grace" (a word Leslie breaks down in...

Is the anti-diet world culty too? Yes. It can be. (Anything can be!) Therapist and Coach Catie Lynch and I unpack extremism in the anti-diet world, black and white thinking, “cancel” culture and mob mentality online, as well as what true healing from an eating disorder looks like beyond outrage. “Can we focus on actually creating the life that diet culture took from us, instead of spending the rest of our life angry at diet culture?” I also talk about microdosing, medical marijuana,...

Hello! Today's episode is short and sweet... I'm starting off with a 10 minute audio-chapter from the audiobook of Tired as F*ck. And, that audio clip just so happens to be about anxiety, and what it's like to be a person with a normal amygdala (aka, not a psychopath). Then, I go over the three different "categories" of anxiety you will deal with when healing your relationship with food and weight! This episode is brought to you by Tired as F*ck, coming out on February 8th! Read the...

January 5th was the 10 year anniversary of The F*ck It Diet!!! (and my 34th birthday!) It's not the ten year anniversary of the book... but of my actual journey on The F*ck It Diet. So, in celebration, I got on instagram live and read two excerpts from my new book Tired as F*ck, where I talk about what my TFID "epiphany," and what the beginning of my actual journey looked like. THEN the next day, my computer broke, so I'm currently posting this from my new $126 backup chrome book while my...

Today's conversation is with Africa Brooke! Coach, writer, podcaster, and author of the viral open letter, "Why I'm Leaving the Cult of Wokeness."

In today's episode, reporter Jessica DeFino explains how our skin works, and how beauty culture is actually damaging our skin health with skin "care" products. This is one of my favorite episodes on my podcast so far, (up there with my Laziness Does Not Exist episode from a year ago). Just like our relationship with food and diets, where we are led to believe we need diets, which leads to worse health and a worse relationship with food longterm… the same thing is true for our skin. Beauty...

Two months of live support, community, video Q&As, daily prompts, weekly beliefs to focus on, and all of us using TFID book as a textbook. Enrollment closes January 14th.
