Here’s what’s included:

• 5 days of journal prompts to unlock personal insights
• 5 day access to live group coaching + implementation time so you don’t have to do this alone
• Pop-up Facebook group for accountability and 5 days of text-based coaching to keep making progress
• Replay links so you can rewatch for deeper understanding or in case you missed something!

Here’s what’s NOT included:

• Medical nutrition therapy, mental health or family counseling, or private 1:1 services
• Language translation or interpretations of coaching materials or sessions (everything is in English)
• This is not designated as a fully ADA accessible challenge. The challenge is delivered using multiple online platforms and availability/accuracy of screen reading technology, closed captioning, and transcripts are unfortunately not guaranteed.

The RELEASE: Body Neutrality Journaling Challenge is free! However, time and effort investments vary. Plan for up to 1 hr per day for the 5 days of the challenge (especially if you want to join for the live implementation + coaching calls).

Coaching is a collaborative process between the coach (that’s me, Shelly) and the client (that’s you). It’s a method to inspire you toward positive change and maximum wellness, by supporting you and asking questions that lead to self-discovery.

While coaching is not mental health therapy, the nutrition mindset approaches used in this challenge may involve discussing sensitive aspects of participant’s lives and you may experience uncomfortable emotions. If you feel the need to seek medical advice or mental health counseling for new or ongoing concerns, it is your responsibility to find a licensed provider in your area so appropriate care can be provided before, during, and after the challenge as needed.

Let’s clarify our expectations so we can work together in the best way possible.

What I expect from you:

• be open to the inner work challenging existing thoughts, emotions, and actions
• communicate honestly, be open to feedback, share what’s working and what’s not
• set aside the time and energy to participate fully in the process, to the degree that will get you the outcome you’re aiming for
• treat me, the other members of the group, and yourself with respect
• choose not to blame, make excuses, or be negative as a habit (we all have those moments, but in this challenge you’ll be asked to think about what’s in your control, and to be open to change)
• take responsibility to create and implement your own physical, mental and emotional wellness, decisions, choices, actions, and results. I can’t make change for you
• agree to the boundaries of nutrition mindset coaching to provide general nutrition and wellness information (not medical services)

What you can expect from me:

• communicate honestly, be open to feedback, share what’s working and what’s not
• treat you, the other members of the group, and myself with respect
• maintain the Code of Ethics maintained by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Personally, I strive to treat everyone like I’d like to be treated
• provide accurate and actionable nutrition and wellness information in the context of the Intuitive Eating and weight-neutral approaches

When you participate in the RELEASE: Body Neutrality Journaling Challenge, you’re giving me permission to use your words anonymously for all marketing purposes. Your own journaling will be private unless you choose to share it.

All live calls will be recorded and distributed throughout this RELEASE: Body Neutrality Journaling Challenge. They may also be used in other related challenges.

Other coaching programs, services, and challenges I offer may have different policies.

Please note that I may disclose information to mental health providers, the police, or other necessary authorities if I believe you or anyone else might be at risk. This is based on my sole discretion. Depending on other contract work or employment outside Confident Nutrition, I may also be a mandatory reporter of certain illegal activities that I observe or hear reported in this group.

You may want to lose weight, change the shape or size of your body, or pursue another aesthetic goal. There are plenty of pressures and information from healthcare, family and friends, the media, ourselves… the list goes on! And you’ve probably heard a lot of things about only needing to find the right strategy, or use more psychology, or any other tips and tricks and challenges that might be out there. You might have even tried them, maybe even with a temporary feeling of success, but it never seems to last (and sometimes feels worse than before).

Imagine instead being able to accept yourself and your body, knowing that it’s okay as it is, while understanding how to make positive changes that honor your body. Do you feel the burden slowly start to lift?

This challenge, as with all the services I provide, is from an all food fits, weight-neutral approach.* Let’s see our food and bodies as allies in a fulfilling life, not enemies!

I invite you to check out the challenge and experiment with what body neutrality could help you do in your life.

*This can feel like an unusual approach and may not be something you’re familiar with. If you have questions, please reach out to me by email to discuss this, your situation, and whether this challenge is right for you: shelly@confidentnutritionnow.com
