Do you ever feel like diet culture is stealing your joy?

Like society's expectations of physical perfection are preventing you from truly aligning with your values and fully experiencing life?

How many pictures have you NOT taken, beaches you haven't gone to, social events you missed or trips you didn't take because you let your body hold you back?

So many women have been conditioned to stop living life in alignment with what they deeply value in order to pursue weight loss, dieting and acceptance from society. As a result, you run the risk of waking up at the age of 80 years old with a lot of regret about the life half lived, the missed experiences, and the lack of fulfilment.

In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Cherie Miller, an eating disorder therapist who works with adult clients struggling with a range of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia, OSFED and disordered eating all along the spectrum.

Together, we cover:

The persuasive culture that profits off of women's insecurities
An important perspective shift to make that will reduce your self-blame and towards an understanding of societal body image issues
How self-compassion work will help you move towards a healthier relationship with food and your body
The Front Porch Test : a thought-provoking exercise designed for creating a better future
Breaking away from black-and-white thinking : how self-acceptance and growth can coexist.
How common values like connection, adventure and growth can be disrupted by disordered eating
The ripple effect of diet culture liberation.

If you want to stop feeling like you're missing out on truly living your life because your body is holding you back, you don't want to miss this episode!
