Hey Rebel.

Hey Rebel. Today we’re reframing the way we think about movement.

Exercise doesn’t have to be disordered or a source of guilt and stress—it can be something that supports you physically, mentally, and emotionally. My hope is that this episode helps you move toward a healthier relationship with movement. One that isn't tied up in all-or-nothing thinking or black-and-white rules.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• How to recognize when movement is helpful versus triggering
• Letting go of rigid exercise rules and absolutes
• Building body attunement to guide your movement choices

I’ll also share personal insights on how my approach to movement has shifted over the years, including why I’ve let go of strict workout goals. Whether you struggle with taking rest days or feel hesitant to start moving because it feels tied to dieting, this episode is for you.

Hey Rebel.

Today we’re tackling a key step in healing your relationship with food: rejecting dieting. Diet culture isn’t just about big-name diets like Weight Watchers or Noom—it shows up in subtle food rules, social norms, and everyday conversations that impact how we think about food and our bodies.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• How diet culture sneaks into every aspect of our lives.
• The ways it disconnects us from hunger, fullness, and body cues.
• The social, psychological, and physical consequences of dieting.
• How rejecting dieting can transform your relationship with food and your body.

You’ll also hear reflections from past clients who’ve found freedom from dieting and now enjoy a positive, peaceful relationship with food. Let’s dive in!

Hey Rebel.

In this episode of the Diet Culture Rebel Podcast, I’m sitting down with my past client, Monica, to hear her inspiring story of transformation.

• How consistent eating helped reduce her binge eating
• The freedom she found in making food choices without judgment
• How this journey improved her body image and personal life
• The ways her newfound trust with her body transcends beyond just her relationship with food

Monica’s story is a powerful reminder that healing your relationship with food can have a ripple effect on all areas of your life. If you’re looking for inspiration and practical takeaways to help you move away from diet culture and embrace food freedom, this episode is for you.

Hey Rebel! 

Imagine waking up every day consumed by thoughts of food, haunted by the scale, and trapped in a relentless cycle of restriction followed by loss of control. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. This was once my reality, and it was also the reality for today's guest, my past group coaching client, Rachel. 

In today's episode, we delve into how Rachel has rebuilt her relationship with food—from a regimen of strict control to embracing body cues with compassion, from emotional eating to savoring meals with genuine pleasure, and becoming a confident intuitive eater. Rachel not only enjoys a wide variety of foods today but also sets an empowering example for her children, raising them now as intuitive eaters! 

Fear and insecurity around food has opened up a path to true food freedom for Rachel and her family, and I hope you leave inspired by her transformational story!
