Do you ever wish food felt simple, easy, and natural, not complicated and stressful?!

Imagine a new chapter where all that stress about food (and eating) no longer existed. No matter what your story is right now, you can change it. You can learn to love to eat (without guilt), be comfortable in your own skin, and feel good about your choices. Nicole Modic, the uber-talented creator behind Kale Junkie and author of the new book Love to Eat, is a living example of what's possible when it comes to changing your food story.

While growing up in Los Angeles, Nicole was surrounded by society's complicated views on women's bodies and countless diet crazes, which led to years of quietly struggling with an eating disorder. When Nicole began openly sharing her story and then healing in the public eye, she inspired millions of others to create peace, ease, and fun in the kitchen.

NOTE: Even if you haven't struggled with an eating disorder yourself, this conversation is for anyone who wants to change something about their food story too.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why sharing your story can be healing
How your upbringing, culture, and messages impact your food story
Ways to address overthinking and a preoccupation with food
A new lens to view your life's biggest challenges
How to reconnect to your body and learn to eat intuitively
Simple mindset shifts to take the stress out of cooking and eating

Wherever you are on your health journey, Nicole's story illustrates how you can connect to the wisdom of your body, ditch the self-judgment, and find joy in food!
