I'm celebrating a huge personal milestone—10 years of embracing intuitive eating and un-dieting—and I’d love for you to join me as I look back on my journey.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really been like to navigate the ups and downs of perimenopause while also unlearning the harmful messages of diet culture. I'll explain why intuitive eating is more than just another set of rules. It’s a mindset shift that can free you from the exhausting cycle of diets and body shame (but one that takes practice and lots of self-compassion!)

I’ll also share what I’ve learned about body neutrality—what it means to feel good in your body without the pressure to love every part of it, and why the messy middle of intuitive eating (the “screw it” phase) can actually be a valuable part of healing.

Whether you're just starting to rethink your relationship with food or feel stuck in the messy middle, I hope my story offers encouragement and solidarity.
