Hey loves, this was my first time recording with a new microphone and my audio is a little blown out. But the content was so good I decided to upload anyway. I’m thrilled to introduce my colleague and friend, Lorna Perozzo, to you! In this episode, we chat about why healing beliefs about yourself, food, and your body is where the deep, permanent transformation happens instead of behavior change. When we heal our beliefs first (AKA doing the deep inner work), what ends of happening is our behaviors end up healing themselves. We also talk about how to heal identities around food and our body image (i.e. being the “fat friend” or the “fit family member”) and why you don’t have to be a unicorn to fully recover and find body peace. We also give you some encouragement for you to fully heal your body from the inside out. This episode is JUICY and honestly felt like a conversation with a girlfriend who has been through similar things in her past. Enjoy!
Join me and my guest, Kylie Russell, as we unpack her journey with binge eating recovery, her pregnancies with her children as she navigated her changing body, and what to wear as you find what balance means to you. Kylie is a wealth of knowledge, hope, and joy. After recovering from binge eating disorder and disordered eating, she found food freedom and recovery. She is now a plus size fashion blogger who believes in dressing to have fun no matter who you are or what your size is. She also is the mother to two beautiful toddlers.
I'm so excited to introduce my friend and colleague, Erin Kimbrall. Erin and I became fast friends when we went through our coaching certification programs together. She is a dear friend and soul sister and is gifted at coaching women through anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. She uses her background in counseling to help women start showing up as who they really are. In this episode, we chat about both of our histories with anxiety and depression and how that impacted our food/body issues, tips for navigating the gray area in healing, and what freedom looks and feels like on the other side. You can find Erin @heyerinkimbrall and on Facebook.
In this episode, I talk about my past journey and recovery through orthorexia and why embodiment is so important to eating disorder recovery (or any type of healing).
