Real Talk, Whole Life

Diets Didn't Work. This Did.


Listen Later

What if you could ditch diet culture and feel amazing in your body? In this episode, Stacy talks with the ever-wise Alicia Stafford—aka the queen of “your way” weight loss—for a conversation that’s as real as it gets. Together, they talk about the messy middle of healing from disordered eating, making peace with food (yes, even dessert!), and finding a path to wellness that actually feels good.

We’re talking orthorexia, intuitive eating, body trust, and how to let go of the toxic rules we’ve been taught to follow. This one’s part truth-telling, part pep talk, and full of those “OMG, me too!” moments. If you've ever struggled with food, body image, or just want to feel at home in your skin—pull up a chair. You’re not alone, and freedom is possible.
