Today's 5th thing (a bonus episode) is a little different than usual. Instead of sharing or answering 4 emails...Amy just tackled a subject she gets a lot of emails about...THERAPY. Licensed therapist, @kat.defatta, joins Amy and they talk about: the rise in people going to therapy because of 2020, lifting the stigma of therapy, things to do if you can't afford therapy, and how to best go about finding a therapist.

In keeping with the theme of discarding diet culture rules, Laura Lea started making 'treat videos' to practice eating and sharing foods that used to be off limits. Her journey to this point wasn't easy, but what food freedom means to her, right now, is this: if she wants something that is conventionally considered ‘indulgent’ or ‘unhealthy’, she has it, she enjoys every bite until she's satisfied, and she doesn't create meaning or stories or value judgments about it before, during or after. We hope this chat about her 'treat videos' and the meaning behind them is helpful to those of you who would love to have cake as you please, even for breakfast!
