A few weeks ago, I had an idea for an instagram reel: asking RB how his relationship with food has changed since we've been dating and living together.

He opted to hop on the pod with me instead! Today's episode brings you part one of the two part behind the scenes.

In this episode, we chat about:

Have you tried intuitive eating before and felt like all you did was eat all of the things and feel super out of control and feel your waist size growing by the second?

Do you desire food freedom but also still want to be healthy and don't just want to eat cookies and ice cream all day?

Are you afraid of what happens to your body and your health if you stop dieting?

Yeah girl, same. Me and (almost) every other woman on the planet have been, or are, in those shoes.

Today's episode is all about shedding a light on what you can expect when you FINALLY step through the fear and decide to live a life that isn't run by diet culture.

I have had loads of questions recently about how to improve body image, self-esteem, confidence...all the things body! Admittedly, this is one of the most difficult journeys to be on, because while we can hide our relationship with food, we cannot pretend our body is anything other than what it is.

Living with an eating disorder and disordered eating for over a decade made it incredibly difficult to overcome the feelings of resentment I felt towards my body when it would change. It also made it difficult to not feel like a failure if I wasn't "seeing progress".

If you resonate with any of this, you will want to tune in!

Gabby and I were recently introduced by our mutual friend Lindsay (peep episode #21 for my interview with her) and was fascinated by her professional transition from psychology to personal training.

Pre-covid, Gabby was a school psychologist, but realize through the pandemic how important regular physical activity and connection exercising with other people was to her.

Through that, she began running her own self-led workouts in the park, and eventually decided to open her own women's only fitness facility in South Surrey, BC called Goodbrand Fitness. They offer a variety of classes for women including bootcamps, zumba, yoga, foam rolling, and more!

Gabby's vision and approach to health, wellness and fitness is fascinating and will be sure to have an impact on your life if you are feeling in a fitness rut!

A few days ago, I made an Instagram post re-introducing myself. I shared in this post that I work currently as a Food Freedom Nutritionist, but some of you may have been following me since I started my coaching company back in 2020. At that point, I was actually working as a weight loss coach - both with personal training and nutrition services.

For some of you, this may be shocking, and for others, you may be wondering what happened. I wanted to take today's episode to explain why I made such a drastic transition from coaching weight loss, to coaching in a weight inclusive, anti-diet, food freedom space.

In the episode, I talk about:
