#86 - The Problem with Perfectionism with Alana Van Der Sluys

Ever found yourself locked in the diet mentality, labeling food as 'good' or 'bad', and feeling the pressure to achieve perfection with every bite? You're not alone!

In this episode, I've invited a fellow certified intuitive eating counselor, Alana Van Der Sluys to help us unpack the insidious role of perfectionism in our eating habits and diet culture. Together, we share personal anecdotes, discuss the pitfalls of the all-or-nothing mindset, the stress of external validation, and shed light on the damaging impact perfectionism has on our overall well-being.

We also give you a sneak peek into Alana's upcoming book, "Freedom with Food and Fitness," a guide to letting go of perfectionism and embracing authenticity. Listen in for a potent mix of candid experiences, expert advice, and practical tips.
