In this honest conversation, I chatted with former BBB client Emily, a high-achieving mum, dog trainer, and business owner, about what it really takes to change your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
Emily shares how she went from juggling a demanding corporate job and family life to building a career on her own terms, and finally feeling calm and confident in her skin (even at the heaviest weight she’s ever been).
You’ll hear about:
- The hidden toll of living in survival mode
- How PMDD and cycle shifts impacted her mental health and eating habits
- The internal tug-of-war between food freedom and wanting to lose weight
- Why self-compassion, not more discipline, became the game changer
- What changed when she finally let go of old food rules and people-pleasing
- How she’s parenting differently because of the work she’s done on herself
This episode is a must-listen if you’re tired of starting over, stuck in all-or-nothing cycles, or silently wondering if it’s just you who can’t ‘stick to the plan.’
Spoiler: It’s not just you. And there’s a better way.
If this conversation resonates, send it to a friend, or DM me the words “Happy Me List” on Instagram and I'll share the tool that helped Emily begin this journey.
