A Chat With Stumptuous

Do you know Stumptuous.com? You really should! It’s the online home of Krista Scott-Dixon. She’s our kinda girl thanks to her first-rate information about commitment to real food, smart training, the power of women — all delivered with a healthy dose of no-nonsense spunk and a sense of humor.

Last week, we had a leisurely chat about Well Fed, along with a bunch of other stuff, including what food means to me, my roller skating past, and the power of the “Yes” List. Head on over to Stumptuous to listen to our interview and see what Krista has to say about the book. It’s an opportunity to hear me blah-blah-blah about some of my favorite subjects and to enjoy Krista’s insight.

Find a picture of the food you’d like to eat. The food that would make your body, mind and spirit feel good – lean, light, energized, full of exuberant mojo and the sweetness of self-care.

Think about the story that food tells. What kind of person eats that? How does s/he feel when she eats it? Who does s/he become? What life does s/he live?
…
Ask yourself: What’s ONE very small thing I could do to get closer to that new food story?
