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! For $25/month, you’ll get access to every course inside. Inside you'll find my 30-day Binge Freedom course, as well as Coming Home to Your Body (a personal favorite) - and more.
