248: In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Krista Williams, cofounder of Almost 30, for a vulnerable conversation about body image, conscious eating, and healing our relationship with food. We explore how waking up to the way we nourish ourselves can shift how we show up in every area of life.

Krista and I also talk about the danger of hustle culture, over-exercising, and the pressure to “fix” our bodies. Her insights are deeply grounding, and I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation that left me feeling more connected, present, and whole.

Topics Discussed:

How do I heal my relationship with food and body image?
What is conscious eating and how can it improve my health?
Is over-exercising harmful to your body and mental health?
How does hustle culture impact women's health and self-worth?
What’s the connection between emotional eating and mental health?
