Hey Rebel! 

Imagine waking up every day consumed by thoughts of food, haunted by the scale, and trapped in a relentless cycle of restriction followed by loss of control. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. This was once my reality, and it was also the reality for today's guest, my past group coaching client, Rachel. 

In today's episode, we delve into how Rachel has rebuilt her relationship with food—from a regimen of strict control to embracing body cues with compassion, from emotional eating to savoring meals with genuine pleasure, and becoming a confident intuitive eater. Rachel not only enjoys a wide variety of foods today but also sets an empowering example for her children, raising them now as intuitive eaters! 

Fear and insecurity around food has opened up a path to true food freedom for Rachel and her family, and I hope you leave inspired by her transformational story!

Hey Rebel! Last week was an important week: Eating Disorder Awareness Week!

Today I wanted to share some eating disorder statistics with you to shed light on the frequency and seriousness of these life-altering conditions. 

Throughout this episode we will explore: 

• The role dieting plays in the development of an eating disorder
• Normalized "health" habits that are red flags for eating disorders
• Eating disorder statistics I want you to know
• Real-life experiences to connect to and inspire you

Having struggled with disordered eating myself and working with 100s of women to heal their relationship with food, I've seen the positive change that can happen when you finally get help to heal once-and-for-all. I hope, if anything, this episode helps you realize that you deserve help and can recover!
