Description

In this week’s episode, we’re opening up about something deeply personal—and something so many of our clients and listeners relate to: healing your relationship with food after years of restriction.

Kirsty and Nicole share their individual journeys from diet culture, over-exercising, and food obsession to a place of freedom, nourishment, and self-trust. If you’ve ever felt guilt around food, struggled with body image, or found yourself stuck in the restrict–binge–repeat cycle, this episode is for you.

We’re talking about the beliefs we once held, the turning points that shifted everything, and the mindset work that helped us finally reconnect with our bodies. This is a raw, honest, and empowering conversation about what it really takes to unlearn diet culture and build a peaceful relationship with food—and how we now help clients do the same.

✅ Our personal stories: when food restriction began and how it showed up in our lives
✅ The habits we used to think were “healthy”—and why they weren’t
✅ Our turning points: hormone issues, anxiety, burnout, and binge cycles
✅ How we slowly rebuilt trust with food and our bodies
✅ Practical tools that helped—from journaling to gentle nutrition
✅ Working with a mindset coach and a practitioner to heal from the inside out
✅ What we’d tell our younger selves about worth, weight, and wellness
✅ A message to anyone feeling stuck: it’s never too late to find food freedom

This episode is a gentle, powerful reminder that health isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. And that true nourishment starts when you let go of fear and come home to your body.

✨ “You don’t have to earn your food. You’re allowed to enjoy your food—and your life.” ✨
