I used to think food freedom would make me lose control. That resting meant falling behind. That I’d never feel confident in my body without obsessing over it. I was wrong—and this podcast is where I help you see that too. I’m Gena—fitness and nutrition coach, self-love advocate, and someone who’s been through it all—restriction, bingeing, body hate, and full eating disorder recovery. Now? I help high-achieving women heal their relationship with food, feel strong and sexy in their skin, and build the body and life they love—without obsession, food guilt, or punishment. Inside The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, you’ll find real talk, evidence-based tools, and the kind of healing conversations I wish I had in my darkest moments. Whether you're stuck in a binge-restrict cycle, exhausted from food anxiety, or just want to feel good in your skin again—this podcast is your permission slip to break the rules, ditch perfection, and come home to yourself. This isn’t about giving up on your goals. It’s about finally reaching them—without losing your mind. If you’re ready to heal, grow, and feel at peace in your body... you’re in the right place.

If food controls your mood, your day, or your self-worth—it’s not just a “bad habit.” It’s a toxic relationship.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact framework I use to help women heal their relationship with food—step by step. Not surface-level advice. Not another plan to follow. But the deep nervous system rewiring, mindset shifts, and trust-building that actually creates freedom.
You’ll learn:
You can eat the most “perfect” meal in the world… and still feel bloated, anxious, unsatisfied, and out of control. Why? Because it’s not just what you eat—it’s how you eat that shapes your experience with food (and your body).
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked truths in the wellness world: your mindset while eating matters just as much—if not more—than what’s on your plate. You’ll learn how eating from a...
You think tracking is helping you stay in control.
But what if the thing keeping you “disciplined”… is actually keeping you stuck?
Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:
→ When calorie tracking becomes a cage (even if it started with good intentions)
→ The 6 questions to ask before you track another bite
→ When tracking can be helpful—and when it’s hurting you
→ Why intuitive eating is not chaos—it’s actually coming ...
You swear it’s just discipline. Just being healthy.
But what if that “motivation”... is actually self-hate in disguise?
This episode is for the girl who:
Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:
→ The blurry...
For years, I thought the only way to love my body… was to shrink it.
I chased skinny like it was the golden ticket to confidence, worth, and finally feeling enough. But no matter how small I got, it was never enough. I was exhausted, anxious, and constantly calculating. Because chasing skinny isn’t really about the size—it’s about control, safety, validation… and a whole lot of fear.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the momen...
This one’s for the woman silently asking herself the question she’s too scared to say out loud…
👉🏼 “What if I do all the healing… and I still don’t like my body?”
Whew. That one hits, right?
In this raw and honest episode, I’m diving into the fear that doesn’t get talked about on recovery pages or in feel-good reels—but lives in the minds of so many women on this journey. Because truth is: healing your relationship with food doesn’t...
You’ve probably heard the message: “If you really healed, you wouldn’t care what you looked like anymore.”
But… what if that’s just another lie dressed up as empowerment?
In this episode, I’m getting real about something so many women in the healing space feel—but are too afraid to say out loud:
Yes, I still care what I look like. No, that doesn’t make me shallow. And it definitely doesn’t make me toxic.
We’re diving into:
From meal-prepping chicken with zero oil to spontaneous pasta nights—my husband Trey has seen every version of me. In this heart-filled episode, we’re spilling the tea on what it was like dating during my food healing journey, how he supported me (even when it was awkward), and how our relationship grew stronger as I let go of control and found freedom. He shares what actually helps when your partner’s struggling, what not to say, ...
In Episode 12 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re talking about what no one tells you about letting go of food tracking—and how it’s possible to stop counting without losing control.
💭 You’ll hear:
If you’ve ever sat in bed after a binge thinking,
“I blew it.”
“I ruined everything.”
“I have to start over tomorrow…”
Then this episode is your lifeline.
In Episode 11 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, I’m breaking down exactly why bingeing doesn’t mean you failed — and how what you do next matters way more than what you just ate. We’re talking about:
You’ve tried the macros. The meal plans. The 6-days-a-week workouts.
But underneath the surface? You’re exhausted. Obsessed. And still don’t feel at home in your body.
In episode 10 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, I’m breaking down what it actually takes to build your dream body—without losing your mind in the process.
No more starving. No more shame. No more “starting over Monday.”
We’re talking:
→ The 3 toxic lies...
If slowing down makes you spiral…
If rest feels wrong unless you’ve “earned” it…
If you keep calling yourself unmotivated when really? You’re mentally and emotionally drained...
This episode is your wake-up call.
Because it’s not about willpower.
It’s not about discipline.
It’s about the lie you were taught: that your worth is something you have to prove.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
There’s this picture-perfect version of recovery that gets talked about everywhere: eat the fear food, delete MyFitnessPal, take the rest day, love yourself more. But let’s be real — that’s only half the story.
This episode? Is the other half.
The grief no one prepped you for.
The identity crisis that hits when you let go of control.
The loneliness of realizing your old routines were actually your entire personality.
The ...
In episode 7 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re going there:
Can you want to lose weight and still say you’re healing your relationship with food?
You’ve probably been told you can’t. That having body goals means you’re still stuck in diet culture. That true healing means giving up on weight loss forever.
But what if that’s not the full story?
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
👉🏼 The real difference between wanting change f...
In episode 6 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re getting real about what healing body image actually looks like—because spoiler: it’s not mirror selfies and loving every inch of yourself 24/7.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at body image healing because you still have days where you feel insecure, uncomfortable, or bloated... this episode is for you.
We’ll unpack the cultural lie that healing means full-blown self-lo...
In Episode 5 of the Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re dismantling the biggest lie diet culture ever sold you: that you have to choose between food freedom or your dream body. Spoiler alert—you don’t.
If you’ve ever feared that healing your relationship with food would mean “letting yourself go,” this episode is for you. I share the real reason that obsession hasn’t been working (even if you think it’s helping), how my body actual...
You say you want food freedom. To rest without guilt. To stop obsessing.
But when it comes time to actually let go?
Your chest tightens. Your mind spirals. And suddenly, healing doesn’t feel freeing—it feels unsafe.
In episode 4 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we break down why healing can feel so terrifying—especially when your identity is wrapped in control. Through my own story of post-treatment panic, navigating pr...
In episode 3 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re calling out one of the most toxic (but sneaky) mindsets holding you back: all-or-nothing thinking. You know the drill—you eat one cookie, miss one workout, skip your morning routine… and suddenly it’s “screw it, I’ll start over Monday.”
But what if you’re not actually messing up?
What if you’re just trying to heal inside a system that punishes flexibility and praises obsession?
...
In Episode 2 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re diving into something that isn’t talked about enough: when your “healthy” habits are actually hurting you. I’m breaking down 5 sneaky signs your lifestyle might be disordered—from fearing rest days and obsessing over food rules, to spiraling with guilt after eating “too much” or tying your body image to how perfect you were that week.
If you’ve ever felt anxious around food, a...
