In this episode, I'll tell the story of my first diet and how it set me up for a lifetime of shame and failure until I learned to love myself exactly as I am.

What would the world be like without diets? What would we all be capable of if we could just love ourselves in the bodies we have right now?

Ozzy's irrational fears can show us all how our blocks and limitations are just stories we hold onto. You don't have to just keep telling the stories, like "I'm too fat to get that job," or "I could never go to my high school reunion looking like this."  You have tool to change the story and dismantle the block.

When we met, Jen hadn't even heard of Intuitive Eating. She didn't know there was an alternative to dieting and torturing herself with exercise, but she DID know that she couldn't do it anymore. She was at that perfect pivot point where she was READY to do things differently, but just didn't know how.

During our work together, she learned to stopped obsessing about food and find acceptance with her current body. Listen to Jen's story and hear how much happier and more peaceful she is in her life now.
