Boundaries, people pleasing & healing your relationship with food

Heyy guys This week we are back with such an important topic which is boundaries. If youve ever had people comment on your food choices, your body or your life in general and always felt like you could never speak up for yourself. We are diving deep into all of that how this comes back to childhood, being a ‘good girl’, people pleasing & abandoning ourselves. How all of these then lead us to using food to cope with uncomfortable emotions and not expressing ourselves authentically. I loved this episode because all of these things I have struggled with and now understand how these massively impacted the relationship I had with food but also with myself. I also go through how to set boundaries and why it’s so important for you to do so. Boundaries do not have to be arguments or any sort of confrontation.

6 steps you can take to STOP picking yourself apart daily

Heyy guys This week we are back with an episode all around how to stop picking your body apart. Its a cycle I know so many women are caught in and I once was too. We say to ourselves if I just "look" this way I wouldn't be speaking to myself like this etc but the thing about insecurities is when you 'fix' one it just goes to another place. The real change happens when you address how you speak to yourself, the beliefs you have about your body, your self worth and how you treat yourself. That is the work I do daily with my clients and its the exact reason they all walk away with a good relationship with food and a body they have peace & safety with. I hope you guys get something from this episode and start applying it to your life!!

I used to feel completely out of control around food until I rebuilt self-trust

hey guys Back with an episode all around not feeling in control around food. Which is a statement i used to say a lot to myself & one i hear a lot from new clients who work with me. Firstly its not that you cant control yourself around food its that your body doesn't feel safe around food. You don't trust yourself around food, listening to your body or making choices for yourself. Self trust is one of the main things that you work on when it comes to healing your relationship with food because its the main thing that is lost when you spend years yo yo dieting, in the binge restrict cycle or always restricting. Dieting is not the issue, fatloss is not the issue but being in that way of thinking ALL of the time is the issue Todays episode we talk all things self trust. How its broken down in the first place & what you can do to rebuild self trust (all of the things i spoke about are all the things ive done and my clients have done). If you have any specific questions on this episode just drop me a message on instagram & i hope you enjoy itt!!
