Clean Food Dirty Girl

In this episode, I chat with Stephanie, a longtime member of our community and a Droplet! Stephanie opens up about her journey with food, weight loss, and reconnecting with her health after years of struggle, even as a vegan for over nine years. She shares how she went from binge eating and feeling stuck to losing 25 pounds, improving her sleep, and feeling amazing, and doing it without dieting, counting calories, or depriving herself. We talk about the importance of mindset, the sneaky all-or-nothing thinking that can sabotage progress, and how powerful it is to simply commit and keep going. Stephanie opens up about what brought her to Drop It Club, the fears she had to push through, and how she made the switch from diet culture to body awareness and food freedom. She talks about falling in love with movement, letting go of “goal weight” pressure, and embracing the magic of slow, steady progress. Spoiler alert: That's where real, lasting change happens.  If you’re burned out by diets or feel overwhelmed by the idea of change, this is a must-listen.   Helpful links: * Join Drop It Club https://dropitclub.cleanfooddirtygirl.com/sale [https://dropitclub.cleanfooddirtygirl.com/sale] Use coupon code PODCAST to save $100 off for the first three months About Clean Food Dirty Girl helps people eat more plants while celebrating imperfection.
