In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, Ryann and Amber Abila explore the complex relationship women have with food, body image, and eating. They discuss the unrealistic expectations surrounding weight loss, the role of willpower in maintaining eating habits, and the harmful dichotomy of labeling foods as 'good' or 'bad.' Amber emphasizes the importance of understanding one's relationship with food, the impact of societal pressures, and the need for mindfulness and moderation.  The discussion also touches on the distinction between healthy eating practices and disordered eating, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own habits and feelings towards food.
