Today’s episode is with Mandy Podlesny, an empowered eating coach. Christina and I loved talking with Mandy about all things diet culture and becoming a victor and empowered member of your life. I really loved our deep dive into nutrition and dieting because it’s something I struggle with a lot. We also talked about finding the right practitioner for you that will listen to what you say and work with your bio-individuality.
