Welcome to this week's episode of "Change Your Relationship with Food," hosted by Kyla Holley.

In this episode, Kyla is joined by the inspirational Jan Sansom, an 81-year-old counsellor from Adelaide, whose life took a transformative turn in her mid-40s. Jan shares her compelling journey from a career in sports and administration to becoming a counsellor, following a personal battle with breast cancer and a move to New Zealand.

Jan candidly discusses her lifelong struggle with body image, influenced by early experiences with polio and societal pressures on slenderness. She reveals how her perspective on dieting and self-worth shifted dramatically after participating in a course with Kyla five years ago, which debunked long-held myths about dieting and body image.

The conversation delves into the wisdom Jan would share with her younger self, emphasising the importance of appreciating one's body and living in the moment. Jan also reflects on her counseling work and its impact on her relationship with food, while offering insights for younger generations.

Tune in for an engaging discussion on embracing change, challenging societal norms, and the power of self-belief, as Jan and Kyla explore the journey towards a healthier relationship with food and body image.
