Relationships isn't normally the first word that pops to mind when we talk about food. Today's guest illustrates what it truly means to embody our relationship with food and defines "healthy eating" in terms that go way beyond calories, macros, and choosing so-called "good" foods.

When we're in tune with what we're eating, food allows us to connect to ourselves, to other people, and to the world on a visceral and emotional level.

Listen in as Kara Campbell shares how she came to embrace the connective power of food at an early age, just from sitting around the table with her family at dinner time every night. She explains how this evolved into the idea that dining with others and asking intentional questions leads to friends and strangers alike mirroring pieces of themselves back to one another through conversation.

She then unpacks the topic of intuitive eating and why most people fail to reconnect to their bodies and simply trust that they know what they need.

Kara then talks about how her upbringing within purity culture had a profoundly negative impact on her relationship with food and why women growing up in such an environment almost always have body image issues and destructive eating habits.

Finally, Kara touches on why our body is our wisest teacher and the surprising benefits beyond the physical that one experiences once they are able to repair their relationship with food.

Kara Elise Campbell is an embodiment coach who teaches women how to connect with their bodies and come back home to themselves.
