Diets Didn't Work. This Did.

What if you could ditch diet culture and feel amazing in your body? In this episode, Stacy talks with the ever-wise Alicia Stafford—aka the queen of “your way” weight loss—for a conversation that’s as real as it gets. Together, they talk about the messy middle of healing from disordered eating, making peace with food (yes, even dessert!), and finding a path to wellness that actually feels good. We’re talking orthorexia, intuitive eating, body trust, and how to let go of the toxic rules we’ve been taught to follow. This one’s part truth-telling, part pep talk, and full of those “OMG, me too!” moments. If you've ever struggled with food, body image, or just want to feel at home in your skin—pull up a chair. You’re not alone, and freedom is possible. 00:00 | Welcome + Why This Conversation Matters 03:00 | Disordered Eating Histories & Breaking the Cycle 07:45 | What "Your Way" Really Means 11:15 | Intuition, Scarcity Mindset & Food Freedom 17:00 | Letting Go of Control + Listening to Your Body 24:30 | Weight Gain, Ozempic, and Owning Your Story 28:25 | Healing Without an Audience 35:20 | The Mindset Conversation + Next Steps DISCLAIMER: This episode contains open and personal discussions about eating disorders and weight, including orthorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and weight loss.
