Episode Synopsis

If you’ve been listening for any length of time, you know I believe that food struggles are never just about food. They’re often symptoms of something deeper - like trying to feel some sense of control after trauma or long-term stress, trying to survive in a culture that profits off us hating our bodies, or simply trying to make living inside ourselves bearable.This episode touches on:- My 15+ year struggle with food control and binge eating.- The impact of religious trauma, diet, and wellness culture, and untrue beliefs about myself.- The tricky intersection of chronic health symptoms and eating disorders.- Why food challenges aren't just a "willpower issue."If any of this resonates, know you’re not broken - and you’re not alone.🌿 The Free Spirit Academy membership is open this month!
