Recovery — Stephanie Bonastia is an intuitive eating coach who thought she could never feel sane around food — that she was “broken” and unfixable…what she discovered and what she shares in our conversation and in her practice is life changing and hope full. From her website:
Life opens up to you. Creativity, passion, and purpose is a part of healing. Find what lights you up.
Our conversation covered classism, racism, shame — and processing our shame, mindfulness and integrating our dark and light sides.
About mindfulness, we talk about how “mindfulness” has kinda been co-opted by the diet and wellness industry and Stephanie takes down that way of “rule based” mindfulness and describes the practice of true mindfulness around food and approaching eating.
If you have ever struggled with binge eating and that feeling that you might never be able to just feel comfortable around food again, give this conversation a listen…you might just enjoy your holiday dinners.
