* Three reasons, amongst many, why recovery is TRULY worth it! Eating Disorders are rampant and one of the most deadly psychiatric illnesses in the world. Yes, you read that correctly... We live in a world where the thin ideal is more important than health, and that's simply not okay. If you're someone who struggles with severe body image issues, and a healthy relationship with food, I hope that after listening to this episode, I've convinced you (even just a little) that recovery is worth pursuing or looking into.

* Have you ever felt hesitant to pursue Intuitive Eating? Yeah... me too. I remember when I first decided to pursue Intuitive Eating many years back... I was scared, and rightfully so. I had been dieting my entire life. How could I possibly learn to listen to my body? In this episode, I chat with you all about the three roadblocks that often come up while embracing the Intuitive Eating process. I break them down, and explain why they occur. I hope this episode helps you feel seen, heard, and validated. And more importantly, I hope it encourages you to keep fighting for food freedom!

In this episode, I chat with y'all about navigating the dating world in the most authentic way possible and some funny dating stories you won't want to miss!
