In today’s episode, I’m sharing something special with you - this is the first episode I recorded over a year ago, and I’ve finally decided to share it with you.

As a dietitian for over a decade, my mission is to help women break free from diet culture and stop letting the scale control their self-worth. This episode is all about shifting how we think about food, our bodies, and what really matters.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why the scale doesn’t define your worth
• How to focus on what makes you feel good (instead of obsessing over weight)
• The truth about why perfection is never required
• Why society’s “weight loss = happiness” myth is hurting you
• Your inherent worth has nothing to do with your size
• Building habits that stick - without guilt, shame, or restriction

Summer’s coming, and that means vacations, road trips, beach days, and more. But with all the fun can come that nagging fear of "What if I mess up all my progress?" You know the voice - it’s the diet culture trying to sneak back in. So today, I’m here to show you how to enjoy your vacation without stressing about food or feeling guilty.

In this episode, I’ll break down how to:

• Let go of the pressure and stop micromanaging your meals while on vacation
• Enjoy your food without feeling guilty or thinking you need to "earn" it
• Stop the cycle of "starting over" once you get back from your trip (because, spoiler alert, you don’t need to)
• Feel grounded and balanced even when you’re away from your routine
