Our worth has nothing to do with our body weight, size, or shape. And yet, we humans are constantly renegotiating our relationships with food, exercise, and our bodies as many of us fall into the trap of shaming, blaming, or hating our bodies. This episode explores what we mean by our "relationship" with these things!

Ashley Moser joins me in this rich discussion. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist and a certified eating disorder specialist. She works with the Renfrew Center of Charlotte, an eating disorder treatment center - the sponsors of this episode!

Tune in to hear us chat about:

• How Ashley and I ended up working with clinical eating disorders
• What it means to re-evaluate your relationship with food, body, and exercise
• Hyper-awareness around all the commentary about food and bodies
• The pressure we face as mothers in the clinical eating disorder field
• Predispositions and the genetic component of eating disorders
• How different individuals define eating disorder recovery (and is recovery possible!)
• The value of therapeutic relationships in recovery from an  eating disorder 
• Body positivity, acceptance, and compassion
• Making choices that are more nurturing to ourselves

…and so much more!
