This week, I’m joined by my friend Rachel - someone I’ve wanted on the podcast since before it even had a name 🥲We’re basically the same person, we have endless deep conversations, and today we finally recorded one. We talk about food, identity, vulnerability, and the roles we used to cling to; asking each other the kinds of questions we wish someone had asked us years ago. 

If you’ve ever struggled with being the “healthy friend,” tying your worth to what you do, or you are figuring out who you are outside of old identities, this episode is for you 💌

In this episode, I am talking you through how to create an intentional, supportive plan for thanksgiving so you can feel calm, confident, and grounded around food. I share how my own approach to thanksgiving has shifted from scarcity and stress to ease and empowerment, through my eating disorder, recovery, and now. 

You’ll learn how to plan for the day in a way that supports how you want to feel - from eating throughout the day, choosing safe & challenge foods, staying present, managing comparison, navigating fullness, and letting yourself enjoy the holiday without guilt or overthinking.

We also cover what NOT to do, why restriction never works, how to step out of the binge/restrict cycle, and all of my favorite reframes to help you through it. 

-thanksgiving journal prompts to dive a little deeper 

-register here for the Holiday Healing Hour: a one hour, free masterclass for those who want to feel calm, confident, and guilt free around food this holiday season

In this episode, I’m diving into the negative thoughts that fuel guilt, anxiety, and stress around food and exercise - and how to actually debunk them. I start with the beliefs I personally struggled with, like thinking I had to eat less on rest days, or that carbs were only for before workouts. Then, I walk through the thoughts you all sent me and share simple ways to reframe them so they no longer hold you back.

We’ll cover things like:

-why you don’t need to “burn off” your food

-the truth about snacks and “earning” meals

-feeling frustrated with weight gain but still battling thoughts

-fear of fullness and losing permission to eat later

-why recovery is possible for anyone

If these debunks resonate with you, my Food Freedom Kickstart course was made for you. It’s a 2-week, step-by-step program to help you start healing your relationship with food through video modules, journal prompts, mindful eating practices, and fear food challenges.

in this episode, my mom and I sit down (for the first time ever) to talk about my eating disorder. My mom shares her perspective of my ed, what she wishes other parents knew, and how this experience has shaped her both as a parent and as a person.

whether you’re a parent supporting a child through an eating disorder, someone in recovery yourself, or simply curious about what this journey looks like from the outside in, this conversation is one you can take in yourself - or send to someone in your support circle. 

we talk about: 

-the early signs to tell something isn’t right

-what helped her support me, without trying to “fix” me

-misconceptions she had about eating disorders before living through it

-what other parents should know to be able to help their child (or any support/relationship) 

-what someone who has been through an ed wants their parents to know 

I know there are people who may not have support from their parents, from anyone in their life, and if that is you, I hope you know you have me 🫶🏼

I’m opening up about a topic I don’t usually share about - my relationship with alcohol. this is not about telling you what your relationship with alcohol should look like - it’s about giving you space to reflect on your own and reminding you that it’s okay if your choice looks different from others.

I’ll share:

-why I don’t label myself as sober but also rarely drink

-how alcohol overlaps with food freedom and restriction mindset

-navigating social situations without drinking

-thoughts on calories, “extra,” and how alcohol fits into overall health

-how eating disorders and alcohol use can sometimes be linked

like always, take what you need and leave the rest
