If you're currently trying to find joy, ease, and confidence when it comes to nourishing yourself, this conversation with Jessie Golden is for you.Jessie's obsession with food, fitness, and her body started at a young age, similar to many women, and after nearly a decade of yo-yo dieting, worsening body image, and a TERRIBLE relationship with food, she decided to give it all up.  She desperately wanted to find freedom and start creating a life of presence, empowerment, and purpose. After much trial and error, UNlearning, and education, she now has a beautiful relationship with food, body, and self!Through her journey, she has developed a passion for bringing the tools and insights she's learned to others, with the goal of being the resource she wishes she had access to for over a decade. Jessie graduated from the Institute for the Psychology of Eating in 2016, and she's Level 1 certified by Precision Nutrition. There is so much more to life than obtaining the perfect body and obsessing over food, fitness, and body image, and she's on a mission to show women they really can have the beautiful relationship with food, look the way they want, and live a life according to THEIR values.Jessie Golden Bio & Links:4 Steps to stop obessing about food: https://jessiegolden.mykajabi.com/webinarHow to stop overeating for good: https://bit.ly/stopovereatingclass3 Steps to getting leaner + why you haven't been able to keep the results: https://bit.ly/slawebinarConnect with Theresa:EFT Tapping app & membership: www.tappingwitht.comInstagram: @livingrootswellnessBlog: www.livingrootswellness.comcontact Theresa: theresa@livingrootswellness.com

Hi friends!I'm your host, Theresa Piela.After being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease & co-infections, tapeworms, an anxiety disorder, chronic fatigue, early-onset ovarian failure, candida, heavy metal & mold toxicity, hypothyroidism, MCAS, gastroparesis, etc. I found myself hopeless and even more depleted the more treatments I attempted. After a bumpy and seemingly hopeless struggle to find health, it was by coming back to the nervous system and learning to create safety with EFT tapping and brain rewiring techniques that I finally started to find hope and eventually, find health again.  Later finding the work of Dr. Ray Peat and his ideas of bioenergetic healing, I witnessed my physical body starting to follow the mind in its vitality. It's because of Ray that I learned to pay attention and tend to what my body was needing on a physical level, adjusting as I gathered more data & a better understanding of what cells need to be happy and well-fed.I am also the founder of Living Roots Wellness & Tapping with T (a community of self-healers and app for rewiring the brain).  Originally a Colon Hydrotherapist by training, I now works as an  EFT brain rewiring coach.  I hold space for groups and 1:1 clients seeking deeper trauma-informed work to get to the root of their chronic illnesses, utilizing “brain rewiring & EFT tapping” as my primary tools in addition to somatic experiencing, breathwork, IFS parts work, & CBT. My mission is to  support those dealing with highly complex cases of “chronic illness” & trauma patterns that may have lost hope in their ability to heal.  I empower you with simple, research-based self-healing tools to guide you back to yourself, re-build your confidence, your purpose, your light, and to ultimately, heal yourself.Links:EFT Tapping app & membership: www.tappingwitht.comInstagram: @livingrootswellnessBlog: www.livingrootswellness.comcontact Theresa: theresa@livingrootswellness.com
