In this special episode of Talking With Emma, I’m doing something different.
Instead of teaching a tool or exploring a concept, I’m sharing my story — from childhood through midlife — and how my own experiences with food, weight, and the diet, restrict cycle shaped the work I do today.
You’ll hear about:
- How culture and childhood that shaped my beliefs about health, beauty, and worth
- The years I spent trying to “fix” my body — and the cost of that
- The turning points
- Why I now coach through a feminist, non-diet, weight-neutral lens
- And what I’ve learned about rebuilding trust with yourself after decades of food and body noise
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the truth behind the work — and why I believe so deeply that your body has never been the problem.
