Wendy interviews Sara as she puts on both her Health Coaching hat and opens up personally for this episode. We take a dive into the concept of Intuitive Eating, where how we eat is just important as what we eat and making peace with food and body image.
Sara talks about her personal journey with emotional eating and how starting as a teenager she was conditioned to measure weight loss, body size, and what she was eating. Also learning what's nourishing for me may not be nourishing for you, no one-size fits all. Listen to the wisdom within.
