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.

If you believe that weight loss is an essential step in improving your health, this episode will explain why that assumption just doesn't hold up. I'm joined by registered dietitian and menopause expert Dr. Val Schonberg who draws on her background in sports nutrition and eating disorders to explain why behavior-based goals—rather than the scale—are key to sustainable well-being.

We dive into the myths surrounding weight, BMI, and body composition, especially for women in midlife and beyond. We explore how diet culture, weight cycling, and flawed metrics have distorted our understanding of health, and why focusing on intuitive eating, and balanced nutrition is a more sustainable and realistic approach.

​​It’s December, which can often mean that the spiral begins: parties to attend, nothing in your closet feels right, and you’re stuck thinking, “I hate how I look, I don’t want to go.” Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m joined by Deb Schachter and Whitney Otto, authors of Body Image Inside Out, for a compassionate conversation about breaking free from those “bad body image moments.” They share a refreshing way to see body image as a relationship—one that can be nurtured and transformed—so you can move past self-criticism and feel more confident this holiday season and all year round.

Deb and Whitney encourage a shift in focus from appearance to comfort, self-expression, and treating yourself with kindness. Midlife is a time of change, but also a chance for self-discovery and connection. If you’re ready to stop dreading the mirror and reclaim your confidence, this episode is for you.

Ever have one of those mornings where nothing feels right? Your clothes don’t fit the way you want, or a glance at an old photo sends you into a spiral of self-criticism? If you’re navigating midlife or perimenopause, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with body image expert and coach Summer Inanen to explore how hormonal shifts, societal pressures, and life stressors impact how we see ourselves. Summer shares her journey and offers practical, compassionate strategies to help you embrace body neutrality, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect with your worth beyond appearance.

Summer’s podcast- Eat the Rules- has over 300 episodes and was one of the early influences in my own body acceptance and intuitive eating journey. I think you’ll understand why when you listen to this conversation!
