I am so incredibly honoured to share another episode in the transformation series with my client Leanne. Leanne is a mom, fiance, and self-proclaimed stand-up comedian who struggled with being the "fat kid" as a child, and fighting against being the "fat friend" throughout adulthood. At 46 years old, Leanne shares how through the Food Freedom Approach, she's been able to learn to love herself in the most genuine way - no measurements attached. In the episode, we chat about Leanne's struggles with body image, weight and external validation How working with a personal trainer & macro-focused nutrition coach sent her into self-sabotage mode Binge eating, sugar cravings & food guilt How she shows up differently in the world now How intuitive eating is like dating Leanne's advice for anyone struggling with their weight If Leanne's story speaks to you, I would love to chat about how your life can transform by working with me!

Welcome back to the show!! We've had a bit of a hiatus but I'm so excited to be behind the mic again with a very real, raw, and vulnerable episode. I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend, and present at, Inspire and Awaken - a 2 day wellness summit that was themed "Embracing Authenticity". This event has impacted me in SO many ways - some of which I share in today's episode. But it has also inspired me to be seen.

Can you relate: You're constantly thinking about what you're going to eat, how much, at what time, whether or not it's the "right" thing, too much, how it's going to impact your weight. You're always doing math in your head about how many calories, carbs, protein, etc. is in your food. You feel bad if you eat "junk food" and immediately go to work planning how you'll get back "on track" The list of food noise experiences goes on. But these are a few of the most common. Food noise is no stranger in my life, and it's taken me time and lots of intention to quiet it, but I want you to know that it is possible to not have food run the show. In the episode, we chat about: What food noise is Why we experience it How diets & weight loss make it worse 3 tools to help you quiet it (plus one bonus) Also mentioned in the episode: Kelly's episode Leslie's episode Intuitive Eating Study Ready to take your journey to the next level and finally put that food noise to rest?
