Our guest today is Leanne Ellington is a leading expert in women's emotional health and disordered eating. She is also an International speaker, CEO and Founder of the Stressless Eating Education System, author of the book Stressless Eating, and host of the Stressless Eating Podcast. Her life's work is dedicated to helping women take the stress, emotion, and obsession out of food and get off the diet roller coaster for good. In this episode Leanne shares about her own personal journey of being overweight most of her life and that when she lost nearly 100 pounds in adulthood, it actually increased her emotional distress. So it wasn't until she healed her disordered eating and her self-image and body-image struggles that she truly found freedom. And that is what drives Leanne to help other women break out of their own food and body prisons. I also want to mention that Leanne specifically works with women, so it is women that we discuss in this episode. However, I want to acknowledge the thousands and thousands of men and other gendered people also struggle with their own body-image issues, body dysmorphia, eating disorders and disordered eating and it's important for them to also get the help that they need.

In this introductory episode, Brinn explains who she is and what inspired the start of this podcast.

In her hometown of Sacramento, CA, there is a vast community of healers who, over the past decade, have become her friends, mentors and community.
