I'm a big believer in healthy habits like eating well, exercising and meal prepping. But from my experience, I also believe it's easy to go too far, or lose sight of why we initially started doing something. In this podcast I talk about 5 "Healthy Things" I stopped doing and why!

I went from not working out and eating whatever to working out twice a day and being obsessive about what I ate.

I was fixated on only eating "clean foods" and had anxiety when I was around "forbidden" or "restricted" foods.

A lot of people talk about Intuitive eating and how amazing it can be. But, very few of them explain the transition and process of what they did in order to get there. In this podcast I explain what intuitive eating is, things I focus on when utilizing this strategy, the benefits and who this may or may not be a good fit for.

There is a spectrum of pressure when it comes to eating out. Some of us find ourselves on the healthy lifestyle side where we receive judgement for eating not so healthy foods, and then there are those of us who are trying to make healthy lifestyle changes and receive criticism and feel a lack of support from those in our lives. I’ve learned that the words of those in our lives can be very impactful and as a result, it’s important to be able to address these both internally and externally.
