280. What 10 Years of Healing My Relationship with Food Has Taught Me

“When you can make those small changes day after day, and then look back months and years down the line, that’s when you really can see growth.”

Ten years ago, I never would have imagined I'd be openly sharing the food struggles I once kept hidden from almost everyone in my life. So much has changed since 2015! In this episode, I'm taking you on a walk down memory lane as I reflect on my journey from encouraging low carb diets to discovering intuitive eating and finding peace with food. I'll share the struggles, turning points, and lessons that shaped my relationship with food over the last decade, including how pregnancy, motherhood, and navigating health concerns challenged me in new ways. My hope is that you'll recognize pieces of your own story, feel a little less alone, and see that healing is possible. The small changes you make today might not feel like much, but just imagine what they can add up to over the next 10 years!

✅ What You'll Learn:

• How my relationship with food evolved from 2015 to 2025
• The turning point that led me to embracing intuitive eating and an anti-diet approach to nutrition
