On today’s episode we’re digging into identity crisis as a major defining part of the body image and food healing journey.. Victoria talks through her story, and how she helps her clients let go of the ‘healthy girl’ identity that’s so wrapped up in perfectionism in order to cultivate a healthier, more balanced relationship with food, and find who you really are.

Listener questions – Oprah making a mess again, gut diversity and adaptogens


In this episode we discuss why we view “food as a reward” with a side of skepticism and conflicting feelings. From childhood treats to adult indulgences like alcohol and retail therapy, we’re exploring why we feel the need to earn every bite. Why do we think of “food as a reward” as a bad thing? Why do we think certain foods need to be earned and others don’t? Join us as we break free from the cycle of “earning” and explore alternative ways to treat ourselves without guilt or shaming. Check out the reflection questions that go along with this episode HERE.
