The struggle is real. Is it possible to enjoy grocery shopping after years of restriction? Let’s stop white knuckling our carts and talk about it!

Life has thrown us a few curve balls over the past few months. We are BACK ready to share what we have learned from these catalysts. We discuss intuitive eating, self compassion, and body kindness in the midst of COVID-19. Also, first steps you can take to generate confidence and joy in the midst of critical thoughts and feelings.

Join us in this weeks episode as we discuss the philosophy behind Intuitive Eating and the common misconceptions surrounding it. We  discuss the medicalization of Diet Culture and introduce a new segment sharing our every day victories/struggles.

In this episode we discuss the meaning of restriction, binging, hunger, intuitive eating, and the difference between disordered eating and an eating disorder. We share the clinical definitions of these words as well as the meaning they have taken on in our own lives.
