"There was just this layer of shame. Whether I was a good or bad person essentially tied into all of my food choices."Food struggles can feel like they’re completely taking over, but healing really is possible, no matter how long you’ve felt stuck. In this episode, I sit down with Mary, a fellow Rebel, who shares her journey from years of food guilt, restriction, binge eating, and constant food noise to finally finding peace around eating.
