Description
“I’m afraid there's something inside of me that will never stop eating ice cream if I let it.”
So many of us carry around a fear that our minds and our bodies are on different teams. That if we don’t hold the reins of our diet tightly and avoid all temptation, we’ll spin out of control.
Fortunately, it’s not true. Your body wants to feel good, agile, flexible, energized, and healthy. It all comes down to reconnecting with your body and your intuition.
Today I’m joined by Jamie Mendell to talk about intuitive eating and finding joy through food. It was so important to me to bring this conversation to the podcast because I know many people struggle with emotional eating and feel out of control around food, and it’s wrapped up in a lot of self-criticism and pain.
In this conversation, Jamie and I talk about how intuitive eating is the gateway to living an intuitive life, how it helps to strengthen your relationship with yourself, and why being restrictive with food prevents you from feeling whole and in harmony with yourself. I loved this interview and know you’ll gain so much value from it.
Let's pull joy in together!
