Oh my gosh y’all. The conversation and human I have to share with you today. Is so rich. So good. So insightful.
Katelyn Parsons is an Entrepreneur, Speaker, Certified Intuitive Eating + Body Image Coach, as well as the host of The Modern Girl Podcast.
After years of struggling with bulimia and disordered eating, she not only found recovery but recognized a crucial missing link in the wellness industry- empowerment + individual sustainability around health. This inspired her entrepreneurial journey and life mission to shift the conversation toward healing our relationship with food and body.
For the past 4 years, Katelyn has helped countless high-achieving women transform their relationship with food and body image through an integrative, evidence-based process so that they can move through each day feeling more present, empowered, and comfortable in their skin, without worrying about what to eat.

These days Katelyn describes her relationship with food+body+fitness as free, expressive, and grounding. The way she described it in the past is fucking train wreck. Today Katelyn shares with us how she struggled for years and years with binge eating which then escalated to purging and full out bullemia. How the roots of this began literally out of the womb when she experienced restriction due to a milk allergy, and how it further developed later into middle school because she was involved in sports and theater where her body was on display, and had the first thoughts of “ I have to achieve the perfect body.” How her disordered eating patterns would calm down and then flare up due to different transitions and emotions, how she finally said yes to getting support, and all the bumps and learnings in her journey from there. She shares how deeply perfectionism, people pleasing, anxiety, lack of emotional regulation and healthy communication were all woven into her struggles with food and body.
