Are you trapped in the cycle of diet culture, but nervous about taking the leap into Intuitive Eating? In this episode, we’re joined by Amy Thomas, who’s been in that same spot. Join us as Amy pulls back the curtain and shares how her Intuitive Eating journey unfolded.

Amy shares her powerful story of transitioning from the pressures of diet culture to embracing intuitive eating. We chat about resilience, self-discovery, and breaking free from the societal expectations that many of us struggle with when it comes to our body image and diets.
