My guest this week is an incredible woman I’m honored to call a colleague and a friend. Colleen Faltot is an Energetic Weight Loss Coach. She’s in recovery from a disordered relationship with her body and with food, as well as from debilitating anxiety. She’s coached hundreds of people to heal their relationship with food and their bodies. She was guided to create a new age approach to weight loss based on a foundation of self-love and acceptance.
