Balancing Weight Loss and Food Freedom: Women’s Guide To Weight Loss Without Restriction


Listen Later

In this honest and refreshing conversation, I'm joined by Made Good Grad, Bonnie,  to talk about something that many women think about—but don’t always feel permission to say out loud: wanting to lose weight while still pursuing true food freedom.


We unpack the tension between caring for your body and avoiding the toxic extremes of diet culture. From fears around tracking food to myths about what it means to be “healthy,” this episode is a gentle yet empowering guide for anyone walking the line between structure and self-love.


We explore:
🌿 What it really means to nourish your body (not restrict it)
💪 Why strength training matters for women
🌀 How hormones impact weight and overall wellness
🤍 The power of self-compassion and rejecting body shame
💬 Why community and professional support make all the difference
🧠 Letting go of perfection while still embracing progress


If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to feel better in your body and not wanting to fall back into a dieting mindset—this episode is for you. It’s about making space for both goals and grace.
