Hey Queens! In this episode, I’m talking about a question I get asked all the time: “What the f**k do I actually eat when I stop restricting?”

It’s inspired by a lovely listener, Hedi, and so many of you who’ve shared the same struggle. I’m here to reassure you that, yes, it can feel paralyzing when you finally drop all your food rules—but there’s freedom on the other side.

I’ve been where you are, terrified and convinced “going all in” meant I’d lose control forever. But by trusting my body, I now eat a naturally balanced diet without obsessing—chocolate is just chocolate, not a forbidden treat I can’t stop thinking about.

It might feel messy and chaotic at first, but it gets easier. Unconditional permission to eat is the path to true food freedom.

Eat anything and everything your body craves, and keep reminding yourself: you can’t do this wrong.

This episode is all about letting go of rules and letting your body guide you. You’ll find your equilibrium as you practice.

Welcome to today’s episode of the podcast, where we dive deep into an incredible story of resilience, recovery, and true transformation. I’m joined by my previous client, Rocki, whose journey from struggling with severe eating disorders to finding freedom is one that will truly inspire you. In this episode titled *"Breaking Free: Rocki's Journey from 60 Laxatives a Day to Food & Body Freedom,"* we explore the serious realities of laxative abuse, compulsive exercise, and using alcohol as a coping mechanism—layers of the eating disorder that Rocki bravely faced head-on.

Through Rocki’s story, we uncover the power of healing, from her experiences with bulimia to ultimately finding complete freedom. Together, we discuss how her journey began, the turning points along the way, and the freedom she has now found living beyond these struggles. This conversation is a powerful reminder that no matter how deeply embedded the behaviours may seem, freedom from disordered eating is absolutely possible.

So let’s dive in as Rocki shares her path to reclaiming life, body, and self-love. I hope this episode gives you hope, encouragement, and the belief that, yes, true freedom from laxative abuse and disordered eating is within reach.

This podcast episode features Victoria interviewing her husband Wouter. They discuss their relationship journey, how they've grown together, Victoria's eating disorder recovery, and Wouter's coaching approach. Listeners can expect vulnerably authentic conversations around personal development, spirituality, relationships, body image, and self-love.

Key Discussion Points:

- How Victoria and Wouter met in Egypt while Victoria was struggling with an eating disorder, but Wouter could see her true essence beyond that

- Wouter shares about his personal growth journey and transition from being a "nice guy" people pleaser to embodying more self-love and integrity

- How Victoria used Wouter as a model for what healthy self-care looks like while she was in eating disorder recovery

- Their perspectives on what makes their relationship so strong - unconditional love, open communication, intimacy on a soul level, not needing each other but choosing each other

- Wouter explains his direct, no-nonsense, spiritual-but-not-airy-fairy coaching approach and why most traditional methods don't create lasting change

- Insights on dropping limiting stories, choosing who you want to be in each moment, fear as an illusion, and taking responsibility for your own life and happiness

Wouter (https://www.wouterkleinsman.nl/) is an author and no-nonsense coach from the Netherlands focused on personal development for high performers. He takes an intensely direct yet compassionate approach to helping clients "get over their bullshit stories" in order to live more powerfully aligned lives. His bestselling books explain his methodology further.

Key Quotes:

"Attractiveness goes beyond the physical body. Attractiveness is the energy source she's portraying." [00:21:08]

"Our relationship works because it's based on 1+1=3, not me giving you something and expecting the exact same level back." [00:10:59]

"I'm the coach, but I'm also not the coach...when we just live life, we just live life." [01:21:37]

"Everything in life is bullshit. So why would we be living in the story which is hurting us, disempowering us, making us weak?" [01:34:39]

"Happiness and being who you want to be is a choice you can make right now." [01:37:16]

In this podcast episode, Victoria Kleinsman talks about overcoming the fear of weight gain. She shares her personal struggles with this fear and offers practical tips on how we can move past it to live fuller, happier lives.

Main discussion points:

- Weight gain is often seen as a marker of personal failure in society. This breeds deep fears in many people (Victoria shares that she'd rather have died than gain weight).

- The fear manifests in behaviours like chronic dieting, bingeing-purging cycles, obsessive weighing, etc. But these approaches rarely work long-term.

- Fear of weight gain is not innate; it's learned. It links to deeper fears of being unloved and rejected.

- The fear can become self-fulfilling - stress promotes fat storage. Fear of weight gain causes stress leading to actual weight gain.

- Shift focus to self-care habits that gradually diffuse the fear - pursuing passions, spending time with body-positive people, speaking kindly to yourself.

- Understand that you can live happily at many weights. Chasing thinness often sacrifices what truly matters - intimacy, meaning, fulfillment.

Key quotes:

"I would rather have died than gain weight." [00:01:39]

"We think we'll be better when we're thinner. It's time to claim back your worthiness, my love." [00:08:30]

"Thinness is not an innate human need. Love and acceptance is." [00:25:22]
