Today I sit down with Tess White, the wife to a former NHL defenceman, to talk about life married to an addict and how it brought her to the place she is now with wanting to help others.  Nothing is off limits in this hard but incredibly inspiring conversation.  I couldn't be more honoured to help Tess by providing this platform to spread awareness on all things addiction and help her be the light in someone else's darkness.  I left the conversation feeling completely inspired by her amazing strength and courage.

Welcome to episode 15!  Today I sit down with dietition Rianna Tonn and Medical Doctor Laurel Stevenson to discuss bad habits and relationships surrounding food and diets.

This episode hits home for me... Over eat, restrict, purge, binge, weighing yourself excessively throughout the day, eating the same thing day after day week after week month after month, avoiding celebrations, starving all the time, food consumes my thoughts 24/7.  It controls me.  I feel powerless because of it.  If you or someone you know can relate to any of these words then I'm glad you found this episode today.  There hadn't been a topic that I can relate to as much as I do with this.  Eating disorders...I've struggled for decades with restricting and binging.  I grew up watching my mom jump on every type of diet each Monday then fall off the wagon by Thursday and binge and repeat...so struggling with having a healthy relationship with food just seemed normal for me, until it wasn't I guess.  However, this year I feel I've made huge strides in breaking my old patterns and beliefs with my own relationship with food - so I hope after listening to this episode you too can find your way out of your own unhealthy relationship surrounding food.
