In this deeply honest episode of The Nourisher Podcast, I sit down with nutritional coach, Haley Sparks Pullen, to talk about her powerful transformation from years of disordered eating and self-loathing to becoming a woman who now teaches others how to nourish their bodies from a place of love, not punishment.
Haley opens up about the early seeds of her struggle with body image, how the trauma of sexual abuse shaped her self-worth, and what it was like navigating an eating disorder in the high-pressure world of college athletics. With so much compassion and truth, she shares the moment everything shifted — when she knew something had to change and the mental and physical challenges that followed.
This is a raw and restorative conversation about reclaiming your body, unlearning shame, and choosing healing, even when it’s messy. Haley reminds us that while the journey may be long, complete healing is possible, and it’s absolutely worth it.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or wondered if freedom is possible, this one’s for you.
