In this episode, Deanna sits down with Caroline Kimmel, a real estate developer, food & drink enthusiast, animal lover, and have a passion for personal fitness and growth in many forms. She enjoys cooking and entertaining, walking her dog, spinning, lifting weights, and shopping/home design. Caroline lives outside Indianapolis IN with her two cats, my retired racing Greyhound, and an incredible support system of my sweet husband and friends. She began my food freedom journey in October 2020 thinking it was about food, then realized it was really about her. Caroline believes in mental health over every damn thing, that your vibe attracts your tribe, and that women are warriors! You'll hear: Caroline shares about the moment in her life where she decided she needed to change the message she was telling herself when it came to food, weight, and embracing her body. (3:10) How she tried to balance the love for food and cooking without being obsessed with weight, calories, or restriction and came to a place of body neutrality. (4:57) How can you find inspiration without needing to adhere to a certain body weight or size? (12:55) Caroline shares how making this transition to intuitive eating and trying to get off the weight-loss cycle made her feel initially and how apps that "reward" you for exercising by allowing you to eat are extremely problematic. (14:22) What Caroline's life was like before the Food Freedom Breakthrough program and what it's like now. (22:59) After losing her father to COVID, Caroline talks about how going through these life-changing moments really put her into survival mode and how this impacted her relationship with food and intuitive eating.
