I know firsthand just how much of a challenge it is to let go of deep-rooted beliefs & mindsets around food and your body that you've held for the majority of your life. I know that the Intuitive Eating journey is not linear. There's a mixed of emotions involved, including grief, sadness and regret. Those emotions need to be validated, and included as part of the process. But, there's also so many positives that come out of going through the discomfort of change. As someone who has recovered...

In this episode, I'm opening up about my past with binge eating. For over 6 years, I jumped from one restrictive diet to another, counting calories, cutting out carbs, following food rules, hoping to gain "control" of my eating. What started as an innocent desire to lose weight quickly spiralled into disordered eating, compulsive overeating, and an inability to control myself around "off-limit" foods. Night time was the worst for me. Every night, around 8 pm, when everything had settled down aft...

Maybe you worry that you’ll eat all the foods that you’re scared of and never allow yourself to have. The road to Intuitive Eating can feel unknown and uncomfortable, and it's absolutely normal th...
