How is your relationship with food?
I used to think sugar was my bestie.
We hung out together. A lot.

Life was great.
As the mother, I provided good food for my people.
"Good" meant cookies, cakes, muffins and bread.
Basically, anything with carbs.
Everything seemed perfectly perfect.

Until it wasn't.
Hi! My name is Lori Doerneman; this is a picture of me from 2008.
On that particular day we were hiking in Colorado
and I didn't want anyone to take my picture.
(That tree wasn't as big as I would have liked it to be.)
Inside of me, in that inner, inner place, I was sad.
I had lost control over my eating.
I wasn't sure how or when or why it happened.
But I hated how I looked and how I felt.
So I set out to lose weight.
Guess what?
Finding a food plan that worked wasn't the problem.
I lost 25 pounds.
The challenge was STICKING with a food plan!
Even though I had gotten to an ideal weight,
my brain and body were addicted to flour and sugar.
I played tug-of-war with food every day.

Then something fantastic happened.
As I worked with my son in the realm of addiction (which is what "The Parenting Dare" is all about!) I experienced a CONVERSION.
It was beautiful and radical and life-altering.
I guess you could say I truly heard the first part of the Gospel message.
I was a strong Catholic mama but let me tell you,
I had never understood the Gospel message in a way that actually reached down into the deepest parts of me.
And it changed me.
From the inside out.
That was AWESOME. But then I noticed something.
Food thoughts didn't consume me.
The negative self-talk was gone. GONE.
I had found freedom.
Finally. Finally. Finally.
(cue the Alleluia Chorus)

Discover your truest identity.

If you struggle with being "on" or "off" of a food plan,
you will love the unexpected way that you'll find freedom. If you think of yourself as "good" or "bad," depending on what you've eaten, you will love this new way of thinking. |
This course is about a journey. A journey inward.
It's about beliefs and reality and faith. It's about transformation and conversion. It's not so much about food as it is about YOU. |
So... what's on the inside?
This course consists of 12 lessons (divided into 4 modules):
1st Module - Your Relationship with Food
- You will begin Inside/Out by jumping into your life and looking at your relationship with food. The downloadable journal is a powerful tool that will help you understand the control that food has had over you and your life. As you finish this first module, you will start to see the the connection between your food habits and your spiritual identity!
2nd Module - Learning about Your True Identity in Christ
- It's hard to change something if you think you've already arrived. In this module, you will take a new look at your relationship with God the Father and you will see everything that He has done for you with more clarity. As you grasp this, you will transition from fear to freedom.
3rd Module - YOUR Story
- This module will give you a deeper insight into your own story and you will awaken to your inner beauty and discover the power you already have as a Christian WOMAN. You will also be given two specific tools to help you on the journey; you will learn how to chew on Scripture and you will learn what to do when faced with a food temptation. (Your struggle with food is not about the food.)
4th Module - Integrating Body and Soul
- The whole goal of this course: freedom from constant, negative food thoughts. In this module we get practical. You will develop a working relationship with your body, then you will look at creating a right relationship with food by utilizing simple swaps, focusing on foods that truly nourish you from the inside out. Finally, we map out the journey you've had with food. You'll understand that becoming who you are is the real process here. Food was just the distraction. This module ties it all together. It's your internal transformation that will radically change how you interact with yourself, your family and with the world.
How is the course presented?
It is not a video course where you have to be sitting down in front of a computer. (Who has time for that?)
- Each lesson is in written form (think blog post!) with pictures to help deliver the message.
- Each lesson has an audio option (think podcast!) so you can easily consume the content on the go.
- For those of you that like to see the whole picture at once, we included a downloadable PDF of the entire course.
Great Bonuses:
- A downloadable Inside/Out journal filled with thought-provoking questions. One student said the journal was a "game changer" because it made the content deeply personal and she was able to incorporate the lessons she was learning.
- Inside/Out Recipe Booklet with over 20 recipes that will nourish you from the INSIDE OUT.
Course Price: $47
Testimonials:
"The Inside Out course has been a pivotal point in my search for peace with food. For years I have struggled with finding a balance between enjoying food and maintaining healthy food boundaries. Lori's course helped me realize that it is possible to marry these concepts together, WHILE growing in my relationship with the Lord. I realized how most of my food struggles come from deep-seated habits that I developed early in childhood and adolescence. Through the use of the the accompanying journal, I was able to dig deep and name some of the emotions that hold me back from having a healthy relationship with food. This was such a gift and I am so thankful for all the work that went into developing this course!"

FAQs:
Who is this course for?If you know anything about me, you will know that I am NOT about division. I love unity. I love people. I love parties.
The more the merrier. That being said, I am a Catholic woman. So I naturally write from that perspective. If you can handle me talking specifics about my unique faith journey, come, come. I'd love to meet you and your unique perspective. |
What is this course about?It is easier to explain what it's NOT about.
This is not about what you should or should not be eating. This is a course about who you really are. Who you are determines what you do. (The world says that what you do determines who you are. We're gonna flip that around! Just wait. It's so cool.) |
