Varvara once had a healthy relationship with food, until she moved to the US, where everything changed. Suddenly thrust into the frenzy of American weight-loss culture, she felt like the odd one out in a sea of "lose weight quick" mantras. Varvara found herself in a rut, loathing her reflection in photos and videos.
As someone who loves to travel, V was determined to break free from binge eating and reclaim her confidence, and that's when she came across my Nourished & Free program.
In this episode, we talk about her wins, struggles, and transformation in her life, career and mind. So, if you're itching to ditch the self-doubt and feel confident in your skin, this episode is a must-listen!
