Ever look at your plate and think, “Am I even hungry, or just following some rule?” In this episode of Fit Friends Happy Hour, Katie unpacks why the simple advice of “just eat when you’re hungry” isn’t so simple, especially if you’ve spent years dieting, ignoring your body, or feeling conflicted around food.

Wish you could feel like “yourself” again after having a baby - or already dreading the pressure to “bounce back” even before pregnancy?

EPISODE 407. A question I get all of the time is, “How am I supposed to love my body when I hate the way it looks?”

When I hear this, I always lead my clients into the messy middle or gray area between body love and body hatred. 

First, we start by dipping our toe in and exploring body respect. And that’s exactly where I recommend you start if you’re struggling to make peace with your body. 

Consider today’s episode your body respect playbook. You’ll walk away from this episode feeling inspired and energized, knowing that body respect AND neutrality are within reach for you (even if full-blown body love feels like a pie in the sky at this stage).
