In this episode, I sit down with intuitive eating and food freedom coach Sabrina Magnan to talk about healing your relationship with food—especially if you’re a high-achieving woman who’s spent years stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle of dieting, restriction, and guilt.

Sabrina shares her powerful story of going from an elite synchronized swimmer obsessed with perfection and control to finding true peace with food and her body through intuitive eating. We explore why so many women in midlife still struggle with food and body image, how perfectionism plays a hidden role in disordered eating, and what it really means to rebuild trust with your body.

We also dive into the four pillars of her FUEL Method—a framework that helps women move from food obsession to food freedom.

If you’ve ever felt “addicted” to food, trapped in cycles of control and guilt, or disconnected from your body, this episode will show you that there’s nothing wrong with you—you just need to understand the root causes and rebuild your trust from the inside out.

✨ What you’ll learn:

• Why willpower and discipline don’t work when it comes to healing your relationship with food
• How perfectionism and control can mask emotional needs
• Practical ways to reconnect with your body’s hunger and fullness cues
• How to stop using food as an escape from uncomfortable emotions

🎧 Listen in as we unpack how to find true food freedom—and finally free up your mental energy for what really matters in life.
