12: Eat less to be more? HELL NO! with Macro Coach Caitlen Schmidt

45 minutes

Today we are going to dive deep into the uncomfy conversations that happen around dieting, binge eating, and the mindset that can change it all for you, my friend!

I am joined by one of my incredible adventure buddies Caitlen Schmidt. Caitlen is a wonderful science nerd, who loves everything about human metabolism, nutrition, and wellness. She is on a mission to help women escape diet-ism and feel so good in their own skin that they wanna run around naked, and truly love themselves! In this episode, we are going in a totally different direction with our discussion around wanting to be a smaller pant size, counting macros, and intuitive eating. Both Caitlen and I have been in places where macros ran our lives, where restricting ourselves was the answer to feeling like we were worthy of loving ourselves or receiving love from others. But we are here to break that norm with the science behind your metabolism so that you can re-write your epic story around being healthy.

I hope that you are inspired by this episode to keep working on your self-love journey because you are not alone in this thought process, but you are so very loved. You are so very special because there is no one else in this entire world like you!
