Today I am talking to Jessica. I have had the privilege of working with Jessica for the last 2.5 years and she is brilliant. Jessica is a person of color who grew up in a single-parent household where her mother was often away going to school and working, which required Jessica to learn how to get her own needs met from a very young age. Through our conversation, you are going to hear the evolution of Jessica’s journey with food and body, the impact of experiencing scarcity of food and resources as a child and how that fear shows up as an adult, and Jessica tells one of my all-time favorite stories about overcoming the threat that is Christmas cookies.
I hope you’ll find this narrative nourishing.
