Summary: In this heartfelt episode of Millionaire Mompreneur, host Alexa Starks dives deep into the world of intuitive eating with guest Katy Harvey, a registered dietitian and coach who specializes in helping moms break free from the grip of diet culture. Together, they explore how to heal your relationship with food, embrace body positivity, and model a healthier mindset for your children. Katy shares her journey from traditional dietetics to intuitive eating, revealing why restrictive diets don’t work and how to nourish your body in a way that feels freeing and sustainable.

Key Takeaways:

The Downside of Diet Culture:

Katy explains why dieting is a short-term solution that often leads to weight regain and worsened body image.
The pressure on moms to lose weight, especially postpartum, can create an unhealthy cycle of restriction and guilt. Letting go of the “perfect body” ideal can free up mental energy and focus.

Introduction to Intuitive Eating:

Katy introduces the concept of intuitive eating, which focuses on listening to your body’s hunger and fullness cues, rather than following restrictive diets.
She provides practical steps to get started, like reconnecting with your hunger signals and making peace with food.

Modeling Healthy Food Relationships for Kids:

The episode touches on how moms can break generational cycles of dieting by raising children with a healthy relationship with food.
Katy emphasizes the importance of balance—allowing kids to enjoy all types of foods without labeling them as “good” or “bad.”

Balancing Nutrition and Reality:

Katy shares realistic advice for busy moms who don’t have time to cook elaborate meals every night. The key is planning ahead and finding shortcuts like batch cooking or using canned goods.
She stresses that nutrition should be viewed over the course of a week rather than focusing on perfection at every meal.

Overcoming Body Shame in Business:

Body insecurities can prevent mompreneurs from showing up fully in their business. Katy encourages moms to stop waiting for the “perfect body” before stepping into their power.
Letting go of dieting frees up mental space for creativity and growth, making you a more effective business owner.
