In this episode, I’m joined by strength coach and food freedom mentor Kim Szeredi the_strength.movement to unpack something that so many women silently struggle with — their relationship with food.
Kim shares her personal journey from rigid food rules and chasing "smaller" to finding freedom in food and training for strength and performance. We dive into the messy middle and what it actually looks like to heal your relationship with food — from beliefs and mindset to structure and strategy.
Expect a practical and honest convo around:
→ Kim’s shift from shrinking to building: what changed
→ How her career evolved from PT into food freedom coaching
→ The real reasons we fear eating more (and how to move through that)
→ Why a healthy relationship with food looks different for everyone
→ Common beliefs like “I’m just a dessert person” and “food is a reward”
→ The 3 P’s behind disordered eating risk: predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating
→ Navigating food and body comments from others
→ Simple, strategic steps to build trust with food again — without going all in at once
→ What to do when it feels like you’ve failed
→ Mindset shifts around social meals, “cheat meals”, and all-or-nothing thinking
→ The tracking vs. intuitive eating debate (and why there’s no one-size-fits-all)
→ ADHD and food: why it’s different, and what helps
→ Mindfulness with fear foods: slowing down, feeling your feelings, and finding other tools
→ The power of combining mindset work and practical nutrition (think: protein, meal timing, routine)
→ Helpful resources and how to take the next right step for you
Kim brings high energy, realness, and zero judgement — her step-by-step approach makes a big topic feel actionable. We jump around a bit and have a few laughs along the way. You’re going to get so many lightbulb moments from this one 💛
